1.2 Linux PC requirements

Any standard Linux distribution should work such as Ubuntu, Redhat or CentOS. It is better to use a
minimal server version of Linux instead of a Desktop version so that more system resources are
available for the QoS programs.

Minimum hardware requirements

1 Gbyte RAM

2 GHz or higher Intel CPU

1 Gigabit Ethernet

1.3 Setup

1. Point your browser to http://www.qvidium.com/proxy to download the

proxy_web_ui-xxx.tar.gz file and save it to /tmp.

2. As the root user enter the following three commands on the Linux terminal:

cd /
tar xf /tmp/proxy_web_ui-xxx.tar.gz
/usr/local/bin/rc.qv_httpd

The rc.qv_httpd script starts web server listening on port 8111.

3. Point your browser to http://192.168.1.90:8111

where you replace 192.168.1.90 with your Linux PC's IP Address.

4. Click on the "Tx Proxy 1 -> Register" link to install a Tx License.

5. Click on the "Rx Proxy 1 -> Register" link to install a Rx License.

6. To start QoS software when booting you should edit your system startup scripts to run the

/usr/local/bin/rc.qv_httpd script.

7. You may need to add a multicast route if you plan to multicast from the RX Proxy. To

check the routes in Linux type:

“route”. If you don’t see a route for 224.0.0.0, then add

one using:

“route add -net 224.0.0.0 eth0”, assuming that eth0 is your Ethernet

adapter, otherwise use the correct Ethernet adapter for your PC.

8. If using a 64-bit machine, you will need to install the 32-bit compatibility libraries. You may

also need install the Standard C Library.

For some Linux versions, you can use this command:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

For Centos:

yum install compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.x86_64
yum groupinstall "Compatibility libraries"

rpm -ihv
