Overview of the Setup
The following tasks must be performed on the MOS Gateway Server.
• Add IP addresses for the MOS Gateway and iNEWS Servers
• Install the MOS Gateway software
• Configure the MOS Gateway software
The first two tasks are described in this chapter. The configuration of the
MOS Gateway is in Chapter5.
Adding IP Addresses on MOS Gateway Server
Ideally, all MOS Gateway Servers, iNEWS Servers, and MOS devices
would have each other’s IP addresses and computer names. It is not
necessary to include IP addresses for iNEWS Workstations or other
equipment.
n
The monitor server communicates with the MOS Gateway software only if
the MOS Gateway Server’s IP address is added to all of the iNEWS
Servers’ /etc/hosts files. Procedures for configuring iNEWS Servers,
including adding MOS Gateway IP addresses, are located in “Adding IP
Addresses for the MOS Gateway” on page62.
This section provides steps for adding IP addresses to the MOS Gateway
Server.
To add IP addresses to the MOS Gateway Server:
1. Use My Computer or the Windows Explorer to open the
\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc folder.
2. Double-click on the hosts file.
3. A dialog box may appear with a list of programs to use for opening the
file. Scroll down the list and select Notepad. Ensure that you uncheck
the box to “Always use this program.”
4. Click OK. The hosts file opens in a Notepad window.
