explains the management tools available and describes some of the fundamental concepts
behind the technology. It also explains how to use the Integrated Web Browser to configure

mix and match encoding formats with an MPEG-2 encoder, for example, in Slot1 and a WM
encoder in Slot2. Once your appliance is set up and configured with an IP address, refer to
