Installing the VOD-W Server
The installation of the QVOD server is straightforward. Please make sure that your QVOD
dongle key is attached to the USB port of your designated server before proceeding with
installation. When you purchase a QuickVideo OnDemand Server, a dongle key and a
corresponding license file with the proper settings are included in your package. This dongle
key needs to be attached to the USB port of the server machine to enable video streaming
through the server. The license file regulates the maximum video streaming throughput and
the maximum number of simultaneous video streams. For example, if you purchase a 125
Mbps license key, the maximum video throughput from the server will be limited to 125
Mbps and the maximum number of simultaneous users accessing the server will be limited to
125. Unpack the server and connect the cables as described below. As noted, all software and
licenses are pre-installed.
