3-DRC INSIGHT - DRC Portal Configuration for COS

Purpose: Complete registration and configure Content Management and Content Hosting correctly.

Important:
If registration is not completed, relay and contenthosting may fail and devices may not be able to connect.

Step 2 - Content Management

Enable Content Management → ON

Select required testing programs

Select required accommodations

Click Update Configuration

DRC states that Content Management is used to choose the testing content and accommodations hosted by the COS Service Device. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Step 3 - Content Hosting

Enable Content Hosting → ON

Load Balancer → OFF for a single COS server

Shared Content Location → OFF for a single COS server

Do Not Use Shared Content for a Single Server:
Shared content is only appropriate in multi-server designs with a real shared storage architecture.

Step 4 - Proxy Settings

Use Proxy Host or Restricted Proxy → OFF unless explicitly required

For a normal single COS Service Device deployment, avoid unnecessary proxy layers unless your network design specifically requires them.

Step 5 - Add Testing Programs and Sites

Use the Locations section to add the relevant testing programs and school or district site assignments to the COS Configuration. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
