WM Configuration

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Server

DNS server name or IP address of push destination. Include the

 

 

port number if the number is not port 80, for example: ip:port or

 

 

name:port. A VBrick Reflector uses port 7070 by default. For

 

 

example: 172.22.2.112:7070

 

 

 

 

Publishing/Mount Point

Sets the name of the publishing point on the WM appliance to

 

 

accept the push. It can be a publishing point that already exists

 

 

on the server or it can be a new publishing point that is a

 

 

duplicate of an existing publishing point.

 

 

Must match the Reflector publishing point. See Configuration:

 

 

Reflector on page 57.

 

 

 

 

Copy From

This object sets the name of an existing publishing point on the

 

Publishing Point

Windows Media Server that will be duplicated to create a

 

 

publishing point to accept the push. This parameter is not

 

 

meaningful if the reflector is a WM appliance.

 

 

 

 

Auto Remove

When the push publishing point is a new copy of an existing

 

 

publishing point, this instructs the server to delete the copy after

 

 

the push is complete. The publishing point will be created when

 

 

the push is enabled on the WM Appliance and the publishing

 

 

point will be deleted when the push is disabled on the WM

 

 

Appliance. Publishing points can only be created and deleted on a

 

 

Windows Media Server with certain security settings. See the

 

 

Microsoft Windows Media Services documentation or talk to

 

 

your server administrator for more information. This parameter

 

 

is not meaningful if the reflector is a WM appliance.

 

 

 

 

User Name

Local user name or domain/active directory user name. Must

 

 

match the Reflector user name if the Reflector has authentication

 

 

enabled. See Configuration: Reflector on page 57.

 

 

 

 

Password

Password associated with the user name. Must match the

 

 

Reflector password if the Reflector has authentication enabled.

 

 

See Configuration: Reflector on page 57.

 

 

 

 

Domain Name

Domain name of the server or leave blank if server is not on a

 

 

domain. If the server is on a domain but a local name will be used

 

 

for authentication, enter the server name. Not meaningful if the

 

 

reflector is a VBrick appliance.

 

 

 

Each Push can be enabled or disabled without affecting multicast, RTSP, HTTP streaming, or other active pushes. However, changing the "include" settings will cause a brief interruption of video and audio for all three encoders. All streams being sent from the unit (including multicast and push) are interrupted. Any active HTTP or RSTP clients will be dropped and any archive file in progress will be closed.

Configuration: Reflector

As shown in Table 12, the WM appliance supports one independent source for a Windows Media stream and four independent and concurrent destinations. The possible sources are the live encoder or the incoming reflected stream. For any source, the appliance supports the same four options for concurrent destinations—including multiple push. Note that only one source can be active at a time for a given set of destinations and this same source stream goes
