MCS Mode

In MCS start mode, the start page is downloaded from a VBrick Media Control System. The live streams and videos displayed on the STB are configured in the ETV Portal Server (formerly MCS). In MCS mode, the STB has optional login authentication to protect against unauthorized use. If authentication is enabled, the STB will display a login window when powered on for the first time. You must use the IR remote control (or the wireless keyboard) to enter a PIN. PIN numbers are configured in ETV Portal Server. Once logged in, the set top box displays a home page. The home page resides on the ETV Portal Server as an HTML page and is uploaded to the STB at startup (the ETV Portal Server is a web server). The home page is dynamically updated with a list of live streams or stored videos. See the ETV Portal Server Administrator Guide for complete details.

Note The VBrick ETV Portal Server (formerly MCS) is outside the scope of this document. For more about how to configure and use the portal server, see the ETV Portal Server Administrator Guide and the ETV Portal Server User Guide respectively.
