FTP Password

The FTP password the Portal Server uses when publishing content
to the server. The default for NXG servers is

vbrickuser

; the

default for all others is

anonymous

. If the FTP Password is changed

on the server, it must be changed here as well. Use any
combination of alphanumeric and special characters.

Publishing Local Path Maps the Publishing Directory to the physical location on the

VOD server.

Publishing Directory

Used for Add Video, FTP, or Record. The logical path to a folder
under

FTP

root. This is the staging area on the VOD server from

which files are ingested to the destination folder.

Streaming Alias (IP
or Domain)

Some content hosts (PowerStream, Akamai, etc.) use one host
name for FTPing and indexing content, and another host name for
streaming content. If necessary, use this field to identify the host
name alias for streaming content.

HTTP Tunneling
Port

VOD-WM and VOD-D only. VOD-WM and VOD-D servers can
stream to clients via the HTTP protocol. By default this uses port
80. If another process on the server (for example a web server) is
also using the HTTP protocol, there will be a conflict on this port.
This setting lets you select a different port (1–65535 with
limitations) to be used when streaming via HTTP. This setting must
correspond with the port setting on the server. See also "Assign
LAN/Internet Address Range > Always use TCP protocol for
MPEG-4 content" in Global Assignments on page 21.

Secondary Server
Address

A VOD server can have two addresses: one for Internet users and
one for LAN users (see also

IP or Domain

name above). This is the

secondary server address for Internet users. It is the IP address or
domain name of a second NIC or a NAT.

Publishing Point
Name

VOD-WM only. The publishing point on the VOD-WM server
where content will be accessed and managed by the ETV Portal
Server. Note: this setting must correspond with a valid publishing
point on the server.

Domain or Machine
Name

VOD-WM-Advanced only. When the ETV Portal Server and the
VOD-WM server reside in the same domain, this is the name of
that domain. When workgroups are being used, this is the machine
name of the VOD-WM server. Note: the machine name is not the
IP address of the server.
