Easy Setup
You use two interfaces to operate your Niagara 4100 streaming media appliance.
Niagara 4100 front panel LCD display and buttons
Web interface through Niagara SCX remote management software
Most of the basic operations can be performed from the front panel of the Niagara 4100 streaming
media appliance.
You should perform most setup and operations by accessing the Niagara SCX web interface from a
computer that resides on the same network as your Niagara 4100 appliance.
With the web interface, you can customize your encoding settings and assign specific encoding profiles
to the Preset ABC buttons on the front panel. The web interface provides the ability to control your
Niagara 4100 remotely from a computer that can be rooms or continents away from the system
provided that both your Niagara 4100 and the computer have Internet access to communicate with each
other.
The easy setup option explores the optimal configurations for the novice user to easily and quickly set
up the Niagara 4100. Easy setup includes actions you can perform on your Niagara 4100 streaming
media appliance using the web interface to include configuring the following:
Encoder settings
Groups
Network properties
Machine properties
System configuration
System alerts
