Installation & Setup
iControl Edge is a distributed system, which may entail installing hardware at more than
one location. An iControl Edge Application Server is usually installed at each head end,
with a number of set-tops and IR network adapters, Densité probes, and an Allégro. This
section describes the physical setup of the iControl Edge hardware, as well as the
configuration of network settings and other software parameters.
