# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.99.11 iVDR-1_he0
192.168.99.12 iVDR-2_he0
192.168.99.13 iVDR-3_he0
3. Save the file and exit the text editor.
4. Reboot your machine.
5. Copy the new hosts file onto all the other machine to save you editing it again.
6. Proceed to “Add network hosts names for streaming” .
Add network hosts names for streaming
You must add the host names of all peer iVDRs on the network that support streaming
transfers. Adding host names is required to allow selection of networked iVDRs in the
AppCenter user interface and to provide a successful network connection for
streaming. The host names added will appear in the “Import” and “Send to” dialog
boxes.
NOTE: By default, the iVDR host name is the same as the Windows computer
name. To determine the iVDR computer name, right-click My Computer on the
Windows desktop, then properties. Select the Network Identification tab and look
for the “Full computer name”.
In addition, if you are using remote protocol to perform video network transfers,
you’ll need to assign a unique Controller ID number for each host name. If you are
not using remote protocol for network transfers, you can leave the Controller Id blank.
