Administering eG Manager to work with WINS

To do the above, do the following:

  1. Log into the eG administrative interface.
  2. If a WINS is already discovered, then directly proceed towards managing it using the components - manage/unmanage page (Infrastructure -> Components -> Manage/Unmanage). However, if it is yet to be discovered, then run discovery (Infrstructure -> Components -> Discover) to get it discovered or add the WINS server manually using the components page (Infrastructure -> Components -> Add/Modify). Remember that components manually added are managed automatically. Discovered components, however, are managed using the COMPONENTS - manage/unmanage page. Figure 1 and Figure 2 clearly illustrate the process of managing a WINS.
