HTTP Tunneling Port

VOD-W, VOD-WM and VOD-D servers can 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 "Assign LAN/Internet Address Range >

 

Always use TCP protocol for MPEG-4 content" in Global

 

Assignments on page 19.

 

 

Supports HTTP

VOD-W only. Determines whether or not the server supports

Tunneling?

HTTP tunneling. Default = checked. Go to Global Assignments to

 

actually enable HTTP tunneling. See "Assign LAN/Internet

 

Address Range > Always use TCP protocol for MPEG-4 content"

 

in Global Assignments on page 19. Uncheck if you are using a

 

VOD-W server installed before Portal Server v4.2.

 

 

Web Service Port

The Portal Server and the VOD-W communicate using a web

(HTTP)

service configured to use port 80 by default. If you choose to tunnel

 

over port 80, you must use a different port for the web service

 

communication using this parameter. You must configure the

 

VOD-W to use this same port for the web service. See "Using

 

HTTP Tunneling" in the VOD-W Admin Guide for more details.

 

 

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.

 

 

Enable URL Password

VOD-W only. Default = unchecked. To enable URL password

Protection

protection, check the box and enter and confirm a password. The

 

password must match the password configured on the VOD-W server.

 

Default password = vbrickkey. If checked, all video requests sent to

 

VOD-W servers by the ETV Portal Server will have a security token

 

embedded in the URL. The VOD-W server will validate and deny

 

the request if the token is absent or invalid.

 

 

Adding WM Servers

Although the VOD-WM Enterprise server supports numerous multicast types, the Portal Server creates and displays only "File" multicasts which stream a single file. A Windows Media server administrator can create other multicast types using the Windows Media Services interface but these multicast types are not supported and may not be displayed in the Asset Library.
