Note The Portal Server and the VOD-W communicate using a web 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. To specify a different port for the web service communication (for example 8080), configure the Web Service Port (HTTP) on the Portal Server with the specified port number. Then configure the VOD-W to use this same port for the web service as described below.

TTo configure QuickTime for tunneled streams

1.Launch QuickTime on a Macintosh and click on the Apple QuickTime player to set focus on the task bar at the top of the screen.

2.Click QuickTime Player in the task bar and go to QuickTime Preferences.

3.On the Advanced tab, click on Transport Setup and then Custom.

4.Check the Port ID used for the HTTP Transport Protocol. The Port ID must match the HTTP Tunneling Port set on the Portal Server for the VOD-W server (default = 8000). If necessary, get this port number from your system administrator. See the Portal Server Admin Guide for more information.
