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. Note that content added by users in the Internet zone will only be ingested to VOD servers in the Internet zone for which they have permissions. Content added by users in the LAN zone will be ingested to all VOD servers to which they have permissions. See ETV Video-on-Demand Servers on page 6 for more about ETV servers.

Add/Modify VOD/FTP Servers

Use this window to add Video-On-Demand Server(s) to the ETV Portal Server. If the network supports Windows 98 users, you must use the IP address of the VOD server—not the host name. After selecting a Server Type VBrick recommends you keep the default settings for FTP Password, Publishing Local Path, Publishing Directory, etc. unless there is a compelling reason to change them. Nor is it necessary to create a Streaming Alias. Unless you are using HTTP Tunneling, leave this parameter blank.
