Instructions for configuring the Xmedia Server as a MOS server
To integrate the Xmedia Server (XMS) into a newsroom environment, the Xmedia Server
must be configured as a MOS Server and then associated with a Newsroom Control
System like ENPS or iNews. The following procedure provides you with detailed
instructions for accomplishing these tasks.
