NCast N-Way Server - Manual (Page 9)

NCast N-Way Reference Manual
There is a configuration page within the Telepresenter to define the FTP server, account and password. The
archived .mp4 file, along with its associated .xml file, can be uploaded immediately after a Session stops, or the
upload can be programmed for later in the day or after business hours when the network will be less busy.
Once the file is residing in the content directory on the server, a simple RTSP link is all that’s needed to play back
the file on demand.
1.5.8.Web Server
Finally, an N-Way Server may be used as a web server. An industry-standard Apache web server is provided with
the standard software installation, and this may be configured to run on any interface that is not used for
streaming server access (no port-80 conflicts). The server operator must be familiar with the standard
configuration files utilized by the Apache software.
