VBrick Appliance Getting Started Guide

This document explains how to set up and configure a VBrick network video appliance. It explains the management tools available and describes some of the fundamental concepts behind the technology. It also explains how to use the Integrated Web Browser to configure the appliance and the IR Remote Control to control appliance functions. Your appliance has two available slots. Depending on what options you purchased, you may have a single encoder, a dual encoder, or a mixed model (e.g. one encoder and one decoder). You can also mix and match encoding formats with an MPEG-2 encoder, for example, in Slot1 and a WM encoder in Slot2. Once your appliance is set up and configured with an IP address, refer to the following documents as necessary for additional configuration options.
