System Configuration
application determines the
iSCSI target to which each
K2 Media Client subscribes,
based on the bandwidth
values that you enter. This
enforces policies by which
each K2 Media Client has
sufficient bandwidth for its
intended use and no
individual iSCSI target is
oversubscribed.

Enter the channel count, bit rate, and track count per channel information
according to your intended use of the K2 Media Client.

configuring your highest bandwidth K2 Media Clients first, to ensure
that they are distributed equally across iSCSI targets. To verify this,
while you are on this page for your first K2 Media Client, you can
temporarily enter information and calculate the bandwidth for each of
your K2 Media Clients and compare bandwidth values.
