Printing and Viewing Node and Network Map Definitions

After you set up a node and define a network map, use the Configuration Tool to extract the network map and user authorization information from the Registry as plain text files. You can then update the parameters in the extracted files for distribution to the nodes in an environment.

After you customize the files with site-specific parameters, you can insert them into the Microsoft Windows Registry where they are applied while the server is running, or you can apply them during a new Connect:Direct® installation.
