Community Building with ChatSpace Server Manual

Note
Dynamic IP addresses should not be used here. If added server has a Dynamic
IP address, an unchanging hostname should be obtained from a service such as
DynDNS.
8. Check the box labeled Auto Connect.
This option allows ChatSpace to periodically attempt to connect to this
server, whenever it is currently not connected.
9. In the Password Expected field, enter the password that the other hub
will use to access the hub being configured.
10.In the Password Sent field, enter the password the hub being configured
will use to access the other hub.
11.Close the Server Connection Entry window and the ChatSpace
Configuration Tool.
Your entry is not saved until all windows of the Configuration Tool are
closed.
Follow this procedure on the other hub’s Configuration Tool, adding an entry
for the first. Your network is now formed.
Providing Backup Hubs
Although unnecessary, hubs can be set to back each other up in case one of
them fails. In the example, if the Los Angeles hub fails, all of the Los
Angeles leaves would connect directly to the Philadelphia hub.
To set up a back up hub for the leaf servers:
1. Launch ChatSpace Configuration Tool on the leaves.
Using the example, the leaves are those connected to the West Coast hub.
2. Access the Clustering tab.
3. In Hub Servers list, click Add.
The Server Connection dialog box is displayed.
Next you must add an entry for the hub to which the leaf is not directly
connected. This entry must be listed below the entry for the hub to which
the leaf is directly connected.
The order in which the hubs appear in the Hubs list determines which is
the primary hub, and which are the backup hubs.
The topmost entry is the primary hub.
