To add a spoke server:

1.Install the DSView 3 software on the computer that will be used as a spoke server. See Installing the DSView 3 Software on page 10.

2.Configure the computer as a spoke server. See Configuring the DSView 3 Software on page 14.

To register a hub server as a spoke server:

Only DSView 3 software administrators may access this procedure.

2.Click DSView Server in the top navigation bar. The side navigation bar will include the name of the server to which you are logged in.

3.Select Tools in the side navigation bar. The DSView Server Tools window will open.

4.Click the Register as Spoke Server icon or text. The Register Spoke Server Wizard will appear.
