Verify WM Operation

Windows Media Player lets you receive streaming video originating from the VBrick appliance on a PC. As explained below, you can verify a WM appliance is working properly by using either HTTP/Unicast or VBrick's StreamPlayer application.

TTo verify operation via HTTP/Unicast:

1.Login to the VBrick IWS configuration utility (e.g. http://ipaddressofvbrick) using the default user name and password (admin/admin).

2.Go to Configuration: Encoder > Server.

3.Press the Begin Edit button to become the active editor.

4.Press Click here to play HTTP to launch a stream in Windows Media Player (assuming you connected to an Audio/Video Input Source in Step 2 above).

5.If the stream runs in Windows Media Player you are successfully streaming audio and video to the PC.

Note The default Cable/DSL-128K, High Motion template for the WM Appliance transmits at approximately 128 Kbps. If you have a limited bandwidth network connection, or encounter other network-related problems, trying using a template with a lower rate bit rate.
