Chapter 3        Global Directory

Global Management System User’s Guide

In order for a ViaVideo to auto register with the Global Directory, the ViaVideo must be 
configured to look up the server. This allows the ViaVideo to access and register with the Global 
Directory without having to be replicated through an ILS Server.

From the ViaVideo web page go to:

Highlight the system of interest in the System list and click on 

Manage System. 

Go to:

System Info > Global Services  > Directories > 

Field

Description

Server  Name

The name of the server on which the 
Global Directory resides.

Register with this Server

Click this check box to register with this 
Global Directory server

Registered

This checkmark indicates that this 
ViaVideo in registered with the Global 
Directory in the Server Name
