update docs to match node registration behavior: we do not assign them nodeIds at registration

DataONE is the 'Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity'.  Also provide a brief sentence
154 154 
or two describing the node, including its intended scope and purpose.

The ``Enable DataONE Services`` checkbox allows the administrator to decide whether to

turn on synchronization with the DataONE network.  When this box is unchecked, the

DataONE Coordinating Nodes will not attempt to synchronize at all, but when checked, 


  		




  181
  
  
    
then DataONE will periodically contact the node to synchrnize all metadata content.

To be part of the DataONE network, this box must be checked as that allows

DataONE to receive a copy of the metadata associated with each object in the Metacat

system.  The switch is provided for those rare cases when a node needs to be disconnected
