Configuration Details
The following steps do not include setting up external devices, such as
character generators and still stores, which play broadcast events. Refer to
the manufacturer’s documentation provided with the device for more
configuration details.
The configuration procedure comprises the following steps:
Step 1: Creating a Monitor Server for Each Show
Monitor server is a utility program that checks a show’s event requests for
errors, creates composite and event lists, and sends playlists to MOS
Gateway.
This section assumes
rundown queues for the
shows being monitored
already exist. If not,
create them before
continuing. Refer to the
iNEWS Newsroom
Computer System
Operations Manual
for
more information.
A monitor server must be assigned device and mailbox
numbers—typically, these numbers are the same. A device number is
chosen for monitor server so iNEWS recognizes the server as a valid
device. The device number must be entered in the system’s configuration
file. The mailbox number must be assigned to both the show’s monitor
server and its rundown queue.

A mailbox is an activation mechanism for a server (utility) program, so if a
queue has a mailbox number matching a server program, then that server
is the one activated or “awakened” whenever something happens to the
queue. See Chapter 14 in the iNEWS Newsroom Computer System
Operations Manual for more information on mailboxes and other server
programs.
