The Repeater must already be running for you to
configure it. Go to
Starting
the Repeater to learn how.
The Clipstream™ Live Repeater administration
page
The administration page can be seen by any web
browser. By entering relevant information into the fields and
then clicking the
Set and Restart button you can adjust
how the Repeater works.
For basic operation
Clipstream Live URL and the
Set
& Restart button is all that is necessary.
Specify a Clipstream™ Live stream to repeat
Use the URL of an existing Clipstream™
Live stream and identify it as the original stream you want to
repeat.
- Type in or paste a URLof an existing Clipstream™
Live stream into the Clipstream™ Live URL
field.
*Note: If you don't have an active Clipstream™
Live original stream to repeat, go to the Quickstart
page and follow the steps there to syndicate one of
our own running streams.
You now have told the Repeater to look for this stream.
The server from which you are running the Repeater
may have several other functions (the Repeater and Clipstream™
Live do not need a dedicated system) so you may wish to assign a
dedicated or secure port exclusively for Clipstream™ Live.
If that is the case you can enter in the port number in this field.
*Note: If you add a port number, in testing the Repeated
stream in a browser you will need to add it into the URL you enter
into the address bar.
ex. http://64.141.83.21:8080/
By changing these fields you can specify non-default
locations for the files that you copied or installed as part of
the Repeater package. Avoid changing this unless you really need
to. All these folders
must be located inside the folder
on your server where you installed the Repeater.
The
Cache field specifies where temporary files that the
Repeater takes from the originating Clipstream™ Live stream
are housed.
The
.\web default folder specified in the
Root field
,
is a folder on the server that can house a custom page that
the server can use to override the original page shell taken from
the originating webcaster. More on this in
Default filename.
By default the Repeater will generate a page that
will look like the page showing the live stream from the original
Clipstream™ Live webcaster. However, you can create a custom
page, save it on your server in the Root folder (specified
in that field), and the Repeater will use that custom page in lieu
of what is in the cache. This field allows you to point the Repeater
to a new page filename.
Enter in a number that limits the estimated total
bandwidth the Repeated stream will allow from all connections combined
concurrently.
ex. 25600
25600 divided by 256kbps = 100 connections at 256kbps allowed at
the same time. 256k is the default suggested high
bandwidth connection.
If the originating stream makes any changes to
its graphics, .HTML page or buttonset, you must click the
Clean
Cache button to erase any old temporary files located in the
Cache folder.
Change password
By default you can login to the Repeater admin
without entering a password. However, to secure it, just click
this button and type in a password you will remember.
