Router Gateway instructions

The NewsBrowse Router Gateway is the host platform for the Router Gateway
Service. The NewsBrowse system supports SMS7000 router control via SMS7000
Native Protocol over Ethernet, and supports Encore router controls via SMS7000
Native Protocol over Ethernet. This device is driven from the Ingest Scheduling
process on the NewsBrowse server. The Router Gateway lets NewsBrowse schedule
and control ingest services by communicating with your existing router, allowing you
to have more ingest feeds than NewsBrowse channels. The Router Gateway provides
the bridge between the NewsBrowse Network environment and the Audio/Video
Router Control environment.

The Router Gateway is an optional component of the NewsBrowse system. Systems
without a stand-alone Router Gateway platform can install the Router Gateway
software components on another NewsBrowse system platform, such as the MDI
server.
