Chapter 3 Configuring the NewsBrowse System
Configure M-Series MDIs
This page configures the Managed Device Interface (MDI) for the M-Series iVDR.
MediaFrame depends on the M-Series MDI to make M-Series assets visible across the
system.
As you configure the M-Series MDI make sure that you associate the M-Series MDI
and M-Series host names correctly.
Multiple M-Series MDIs run on a single machine (the MDI server), but they each
need their own process port number. For this purpose the “Port” field automatically
increments. To use the automatically incremented port numbers, make sure you add
M-Series MDIs in the correct sequence. You can also manually enter port numbers.
The MDIs and their port numbers must match settings as in
“Configure Media Frame
ASK: Register components” on page 60 .
