 The ROBUST server loads "in" connectors as specified in the configuration file. These connectors then load the required processing and storage modules and/or "out" connectors. Through this architecture, each ROBUST server can run any or all grid services, and/or act as a proxy for grid services.
-== Configuration ==
+This page is about use and configuration or ROBUST.  There are separate pages for learning more about the [[services]] themselves.
 The server reads a configuration file at startup, which defaults to the name of the assembly with .ini appended. The default name for the ROBUST server is Robust.exe, therefore the default configuration file is Robust.ini. An Robust.ini.example file is provided with the OpenSimulator kit. The default port for all services running in ROBUST is 8003 as you can see below.
