RH401 would be a good idea.. In the meantime check out the documentation :

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/satellite/

Specifically the bootstrap section:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/satellite/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite-5.2.0/html/Client_Configuration_Guide/ch-bootstrap.html

The bootstrap facility automates the config changes required for the client to use the Satellite.

Cheers
