Adding VOD-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. Note that the
Free Space option (see below) is only available if you run the
EnableQueryDiskSpace.reg utility.

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 21. Uncheck if you are using a
VOD-W server installed before Portal Server v4.2.
Web Service Port
(HTTP)
The Portal Server and the VOD-W communicate using a web
service configured to use port 80 by default. If you choose to
tunnel over port 80, you must use a different port for the web
service communication using this parameter. You must configure
the VOD-W to use this same port for the web service. See "Using
HTTP Tunneling" in the VOD-W Admin Guide for more details.
Enable URL Password
Protection
VOD-W only. Default = unchecked. To enable URL password
protection, check the box and enter and confirm a password. The
password must match the password configured on the VOD-W server.
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.
