music servers. Follow the steps that came with your Fireball product for connecting
to another Fireball server and select the name of your Vision from the list of available
servers.
Supported Fireball Media Servers include: E2, DVDM, SE, MX, AVX, MP-150/200, ZP,
and FP
Note:
Vision’s movies, photos, and Rhapsody are not available from connected
FireBalls.

Escient Early Detection Monitoring System (EDMS)
The VX Series Vision Media Server includes a feature called Escient Early Detec
-
tion Monitoring that monitors the condition of Vision’s internal hard drives. In the
unlikely event of a problem with one of its drives, your Vision will notify Escient Tech
Support and your Escient dealer, using it’s Internet connection , therefore it is impor-
tant to make sure Vision always has a working Internet connection.
The Vision VX series contains four identical internal had drives that are configured
in what is called a “RAID 5” configuration. RAID 5 means that data is written across
all four drives simultaneously so that you always have an up to date backup should
you encounter a problem with one of them. If Vision encounters a problem with
one of your drives you should not use it any further as you don’t want to risk having
a problem with another drive. If there is a problem with more than one drive, all of
your data could be lost.
Always follow the onscreen instructions that appear from a VS or VC client if the
EDMS detects a potential problem with your Vision VX Media Server.
Please contact Escient tech support if you have any problems with EDMS critical
level messages on your Vision server.
EDMS can be setup to send 4 different types of messages when server events occur.
They are:
Send Status
= System generated status messages that do not require immediate
attention
Send Warnings
= A non-critical event occurred that requires attention soon.
Send Critical
= Something has or is about to go wrong which may result in perma-
nent data loss. Immediate attention is required
