Setting the Data Server’s connection parameters
The Data Server Control Panel’s G ENERAL page features parameters that allow the Data
Server to connect and communicate with the Xmedia Server.
The TCP/IP section on the G ENERAL page allows you to set the communication port number
at which the Data Server listens for incoming data. Figure 3-4 demonstrates that the Data
Server Control Panel’s L ISTENING P ORT field must always be set to 14060.
Figure 3-4. Setting the Data Server’s communication port
The following table describes the parameters in the M ETADATA section on the G ENERAL
page, which determine the Data Server’s settings for connecting and communicating with
the Xmedia Server(s).
XMS HOST / PORT These settings are used to identify the primary Xmedia Server that the Data
Server will connect to.
•
Specify the IP address or machine name of the Xmedia Server that
hosts the XMS Service.
• Specify the communication port that allows a service to connect to an
Xmedia Server. Typically, the port number is 14050.
B ACKUP XMS HOST /
PORT
When operating within a server replication setup, these settings are used to
identify the secondary Xmedia Server that the Data Server will connect to if
the primary XMS server fails to respond.
•
Specify the IP address or machine name of the secondary Xmedia
Server in the B
ACKUP H OST field.
• Specify the communication port of the secondary Xmedia Server in the
B
ACKUP PORT field. Typically, the port number is 14050.
M ETADATA DIRECTORY Specify the directory path to the METADATA folder that contains all of the xml
data that the data server needs to retrieve data. The folder is usually stored
in C:\Program Files\VertigoXmedia\Apps\.
This folder is primarily used when the data server can no longer connect to
the XMS.
