Managing Content

In order to manage content, servers must first be added to Mbox Remote. Refer to

"Adding Servers"

on page 119 for

instructions.

Configuring Network Bandwidth

There are two properties that control the available network bandwidth which the Content Management system will
utilize to transfer content. To configure the bandwidth, open the Mbox Remote Preferences window by clicking the
Edit Servers button on the main window or pressing [

 ,] on the keyboard.

+

Automatic bandwidth adjustment - With this option checked, the Content Management system will automatically
adjust the transfer rate to either utilize all available bandwidth on the network or utilize the bandwidth of the
slowest connected Mbox when transferring files. In this case, the Mbits/second bandwidth field is used as a hint
for the starting network speed.

+

Manual bandwidth - With Automatic bandwidth adjustment unchecked, the Content Management system will
transfer at the rate entered in the "Mbits/second bandwidth" field.

CAUTION!

Setting the bandwidth value higher than the available network bandwidth will have an adverse effect on

transfer speeds.
