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

Once these parameters have been properly set, us the ``Register`` button to

request to register with the DataONE Coordinating Node.  This will generate a
219 220
registration document describing this Metacat instance and send it to the 
220
Coordinating Node registration service, which will return a unique Node Identifier
221
which will be recorded by Metacat.  At that point, all that remains is to wait for
221
Coordinating Node registration service.  At that point, all that remains is to wait for

the DataONE administrators to approve the node registration.  Details of the approval

process can be found on the `DataONE web site`_.

Generating DataONE System Metadata
311
----------------------------------
312
When a Metacat instance becomes a Member Node, System Metadata must be generated for the existing content.
313
This can be invoked in the Replication configuration screen of the Metacat administration interface. Initially, 
314
Metacat instances will only need to generate System Metadata for their local content (the ``localhost`` entry). 
315
In cases where Metacat has participated in replication with other Metacat servers, it may be useful to generate System Metadata 
316
for those replica records as well. Please consult both the replication partner's administrator and the DataONE administrators before 
317
generating System Metadata for replica content.

These Apache directives are crucial for Metacat to function as a Tier 2+ Member Node
