Add Router Gateway
The machine that hosts the Router Gateway software component acts as the Router
Gateway machine, as follows:
Dedicated Router Gateway — In some NewsBrowse systems, the Router Gateway
software component is on a stand-alone Router Gateway machine. If your system has
a dedicated Router Gateway machine, it comes from the factory with the Router
Gateway software component installed, so you do not need to do any further
installation. The Router Gateway machine requires only network connections in
preparation for its use in the NewsBrowse system.
MDI server as Router Gateway — The Router Gateway software component can also
reside on another NewsBrowse machine, such as the MDI server. If your system uses
the MDI server as the Router Gateway host, you must first install the Router Gateway
software component from the NewsBrowse server installation program. Run the
installation program and install only
Router Gateway .
Configure ASK Location: Router Gateway
This page tells the Router Gateway where to look for the ASK service, which is one
of the Media Frame Core software components and runs on the NewsBrowse server.
The function of the ASK is to store the location of NewsBrowse components.
