Using the example and the Los Angeles leaves, you would add an entry for<br />

the Philadelphia hub below the entry for the West Coast hub.<br />

4. In the <strong>Server</strong>Name field, enter the name of the backup hub server.<br />

This name is the text that is listed in the Configuration Tool’s General<br />

tab, <strong>Server</strong>Name field for the backup hub.<br />

Following the example, the name of the Philadelphia hub would be<br />

entered when configuring the backup hub for the Los Angeles leaves and<br />

vice versa.<br />

5. Check the box labeled Allow connect-out to server.<br />

6. In the Hostname field, enter the TCP/IP host name for the server being<br />

added to the cluster.<br />

Continuing <strong>with</strong> the example, philadelphia.hub.com could be entered<br />

for when configuring the backup hub for the Los Angeles leaves.<br />

Note<br />

Dynamic IP addresses should not be used here. If added server has a Dynamic<br />

IP address, an unchanging hostname should be obtained from a service such as<br />

DynDNS.<br />

7. Check the box labeled Auto Connect.<br />

This option allows <strong>ChatSpace</strong> to periodically attempt to connect to this<br />

server, whenever it is currently not connected.<br />

8. In the Password Expected field, enter the password that the backup hub<br />

will use to access the leaf being configured.<br />

9. In the Password Sent field, enter the password the leaf being configured<br />

will use to access the backup hub.<br />

10.Close the <strong>Server</strong> Connection Entry window and the <strong>ChatSpace</strong><br />

Configuration Tool.<br />

Your entry is not saved until all windows of the Configuration Tool are<br />

closed.<br />

Repeat the above procedure for each of the remaining leaves and for the<br />

leaves of the other hubs.<br />

Managing the cluster<br />

You may connect or disconnect other servers to your server if they are<br />

defined. Only the server’s owner can set up these definitions.<br />

To check which (if any) servers are allowed to link to your server:<br />
