Access to the administrative and viewer web pages on the server must use a non-standard HTTP port, typically
“8008” or similar. Standard HTTP port 80 access is used for media streaming and is not available for web service.
Thus, a typical URL for administrative access would look like this:

http://nway.server.com:8008/

For viewer access the URL would be this:

http://nway.server.com:8008/viewer

To assist viewers and administrators easier access to the server, redirect commands may be installed in the
configuration file of the organization’s main web server to eliminate the need for use of a non-standard HTTP port.
The following are example Apache commands for a typical redirection:

Redirect permanent /nway

http://nway.server.com:8008

The above command redirects administrative access from

http://www.ncast.com/nway

to

http://nway.server.com:8008

Similarly, for viewer access this redirect command might be used:

Redirect permanent /viewer

http://nway.server.com:8008/viewer

The above command redirects administrative access from

http://www.ncast.com/viewer

to

http://nway.server.com:8008/

Access to the administrative web pages for the streaming server use a non-standard HTTP port, “1220”. This port
provides administration of process that controls RTSP streaming, and presents a live update of clients currently
connected to the streaming server. For access, use this URL:

http://nway.server.com:1220
