FTP Password

The FTP password the Portal Server uses when publishing content

 

 

to the server. The default for NXG servers is vbrickuser; the

 

 

default for all others is anonymous. If the FTP Password is changed

 

 

on the server, it must be changed here as well. Use any

 

 

combination of alphanumeric and special characters.

 

 

 

 

Publishing Local Path

Maps the Publishing Directory to the physical location on the

 

 

VOD server.

 

 

 

 

Publishing Directory

Used for Add Video, FTP, or Record. The logical path to a folder

 

 

under FTP root. This is the staging area on the VOD server from

 

 

which files are ingested to the destination folder.

 

 

 

 

Streaming Alias (IP

Some content hosts (PowerStream, Akamai, etc.) use one host

 

or Domain)

name for FTPing and indexing content, and another host name for

 

 

streaming content. If necessary, use this field to identify the host

 

 

name alias for streaming content.

 

 

 

 

HTTP Tunneling

VOD-WM and VOD-D only. VOD-WM and VOD-D servers can

 

Port

stream to clients via the HTTP protocol. By default this uses port

 

 

80. If another process on the server (for example a web server) is

 

 

also using the HTTP protocol, there will be a conflict on this port.

 

 

This setting lets you select a different port (1–65535 with

 

 

limitations) to be used when streaming via HTTP. This setting must

 

 

correspond with the port setting on the server. See also "Assign

 

 

LAN/Internet Address Range > Always use TCP protocol for

 

 

MPEG-4 content" in Global Assignments on page 21.

 

 

 

 

Secondary Server

A VOD server can have two addresses: one for Internet users and

 

Address

one for LAN users (see also IP or Domain name above). This is the

 

 

secondary server address for Internet users. It is the IP address or

 

 

domain name of a second NIC or a NAT.

 

 

 

 

Publishing Point

VOD-WM only. The publishing point on the VOD-WM server

 

Name

where content will be accessed and managed by the ETV Portal

 

 

Server. Note: this setting must correspond with a valid publishing

 

 

point on the server.

 

 

 

 

Domain or Machine

VOD-WM-Advanced only. When the ETV Portal Server and the

 

Name

VOD-WM server reside in the same domain, this is the name of

 

 

that domain. When workgroups are being used, this is the machine

 

 

name of the VOD-WM server. Note: the machine name is not the

 

 

IP address of the server.
