MCM Quick Start User Guide

Initial Installation and Configuration

Pre-requirements:

Intel-based Processors - dual Xeon or greater.
Monitor and Keyboard for initial IP setup.
USB Bootable.
The relevant IP addresses of the source multicast content should be provided by you or your IT department.
IGMP support needs to be enabled on the network switch feeding the MCM9000.
Any SATA/SCSI driver should be disconnected from the server (including SATA DVD/CD); otherwise, the MCM will not load.
All other USB drivers should be disconnected.

The software is delivered on a USB flash drive (DoK) and is best plugged inside the server.

Get Started! 

 

A.     Plug the provided MCM-9000 dongle into a USB port

B.     Boot up the machine

After the System completes the initial boot sequence, the CLI (Command Line Interface) will be visible on the local display and should look similar to the screenshot below.

C.     Using a regular keyboard and VGA screen, the user should configure at least one NIC (Network Interface Card) to have access to the MCM-9000 Web Management GUI.

D.     First, under "enter selection", type "factory default" and then enter.

The System will ask if you are sure; type "yes" then enter.

E.      To configure a NIC, under "enter selection" type the active network interface and the assigned legal IP address (i.e. "eth1 ip 192.168.0.125") and hit enter.

F.     When the following screen appears – the unit is up and ready. You should see the IP address you entered under the "IP" column.

Settings of the network properties of the CLI are not automatically saved, therefore, it is critical to save your work at this stage.

A.     Under "enter selection" type "save", then enter.              

B.     The Web Management is now available on all active (status: "up") Ethernet Ports.
