You need to name a server which provides Canonical Text Services (http://www.homermultitext.org/hmt-docs/specifications/cts/). The first AddOn setting "CTSServer" wants a "http://[cts-server]?request=GetCapabilities" link. The second AddOn setting "CTSFrontend" holds a link with a placeholder to be called when a cts:urn: is clicked. This could be of course the same server as in the first setting with i.e. "http://[cts-server]?request=GetFirstUrn&urn=@urn@". Or it could be a fancy graphical cts urn server, who knows This third setting defines a time interval to update the local cts list using the first link. If you change the first link you'll probaly update it immediatly by using the "refresh now" button
