Pull Receiver

The Pull option provides persistent pulling of an HTTP stream via a TCP connection from a
VBrick appliance, a Microsoft encoder, or a Windows Media server. The source URL must
contain the port number if the source is from a port other than port 80. If the URL contains
a host name and not an IP address, the name will be resolved by the DNS server. Depending

Note The VBrick WM appliance supports pushing from a Microsoft WM Encoder. When

setting up a push from a Microsoft WM encoder, the two steps are usually to configure
the push, and then to start encoding which initiates a push to the network device.
After configuring the push, the VBrick appliance will wait for up to 60 seconds for the
push to begin. If you wait longer than 60 seconds to start encoding from the encoder, you
may encounter an error similar to the following when trying to push to the VBrick
appliance:

The specified push template is invalid

. Restarting the push will usually clear

the error. Also, when you stop encoding, you may receive an error indicating:

The

publishing point on the server is no longer available

. This error occurs when the

encoder and the appliance are both shutting down and can be safely ignored.
