VBrick Systems ETV v3.1 manual Add/Modify Video On-Demand Servers

Administration

Link Type

•Web page URL – Enter a valid URL or copy and paste one from your web browser.

•Uploaded File – Browse to select an upload file. This can be a PowerPoint, an image, or any file you want to make available to end users. The file is automatically uploaded to the Portal Server, and the Portal Server creates a URL for end users to access it.

Servers

Use the Servers page to add/modify VoD servers or to add/modify VoD content folders. Note that you can cluster multiple servers to increase throughput. The ETV Portal Server will automatically load balance all servers defined on the Servers page; no additional configuration is necessary. If there are multiple servers configured, ingested content is written to all the servers for which a user has access.

Add/Modify Video On-Demand Servers

Add one or more EtherneTV-NXG Video-On-Demand Server(s) to the system. If the network supports Windows 98 users, you must use the IP address of the On-Demand Server—not the host name.

IP or Domain	This is the IP address or Host Name of the On-Demand Server. The
	Server Name or IP address entered into the ETV Portal Server must
	be accessible by the ETV Portal Server. (If the network supports
	Windows 98 users, you must use the IP address.)
Server Description	This allows the administrator to define a descriptor such as location.
