3.13.  Disabling the DS2 Broadcaster 

 

NOTE: 

This  portion  of  the  installation  process  is  only  to  be  done  if  the  policy  of  your 

Information Technology (IT) Department prohibits the broadcaster to be turned on.

 

 

The DS2 Broadcaster needs to be disabled if using the DSS on a LAN with other DSS installs.   
This step is not necessary for a production install of a DSS.  This procedure is to accommodate 
users wishing to install DSS as a demo tool. 

To disable the DS2 Broadcaster, follow the instructions below. 

Step 

Instruction 

1.
