Adding WM Servers
Although the VOD-WM Enterprise server supports numerous multicast types, the Portal
Server creates and displays only "File" multicasts which stream a single file. A Windows
Media server administrator can create other multicast types using the Windows Media
Services interface but these multicast types are not supported and may not be displayed in the
Asset Library.
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 "Assign LAN/
Internet Address Range > Always use TCP protocol for MPEG-4
content" in Global Assignments on page 19.
Supports HTTP
Tunneling?
VOD-W only. Determines whether or not the server supports
HTTP tunneling. Default = checked. Go to Global Assignments to
actually enable HTTP tunneling. See "Assign LAN/Internet
Address Range > Always use TCP protocol for MPEG-4 content"
in Global Assignments on page 19. Uncheck if you are using a
VOD-W server installed before Portal Server v4.2.
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.
Enable URL Password
Protection
VOD-W only. Default = unchecked. To enable URL password
protection, check the box and enter and confirm a password. The
default password =
vbrickkey
. If checked, all video requests sent to
VOD-W servers by the ETV Portal Server will have a security token
embedded in the URL. The VOD-W server will validate and deny
the request if the token is absent or invalid.
