Initial Configuration of the NC Server

This section describes the walk-through sequence to configure NCs. You have to follow the walk-through usually after a fresh installation of the Netra j software, or when the Netra j administration interface needs required information to configure NCs.

Before starting to configure your network complete the Network Computer Configuration Form in Appendix A, Network Computer Configuration Form.

To Configure the NC Server

1. On the Main Administration page, under "Network Computer Administration" click Network Computer Server.

   The Network Computer Configuration page is displayed.

2. Click Set Web Server Document Root.

   The Modify Web Server Document Root page is displayed. See "Web Server Document Root Administration" for more information.

3. Enter full path name of your web server document root, then click OK.

4. Click the forward arrow on the Operation Successful page.

   The Network Computer Configuration page is displayed.

5. Click Configure Global Parameters.

   The Modify Global Parameters page is displayed. See "To Configure or Modify Global Parameters" for more information.

6. Enter Global Parameter information, then click OK.

7. Click the forward arrow on the Operation Successful page.

   The Network Computer Configuration page is displayed.

8. Choose one of the following:

   • Add Single Network Computer

   • Add Multiple Network Computers

     See "Setting Up Network Computer Clients" for more information.

9. Click OK.

   This completes the guided initial configuration.

10. Return to the Main Administration page. Under "Network Service Administration" click Name Service.

    The Name Service Administration page is displayed.

11. Check the DNS server and client configurations. Configure them as appropriate.

    Netra j software checks for an already configured DNS server on the network and automatically uses it. You need to check if the server configuration is the one you want. You always need to configure the Netra j server as a DNS client. See "Configuring the DNS Server" and "Configuring the DNS Client" for more information.

12. To save your configuration, on the Main Administration page, under "System Administration," click Save and Restore Configuration.

    The Save and Restore Configuration Administration page is displayed. See "Save and Restore Configuration" for detailed information.
