Modifying the Local Mode XML File
This file is edited for
Local
mode installations only and does not apply when operating in
MCS
or
Local-Fullscreen
mode. Below is an excerpt of the local XML file that contains local
mode program information. This file will need to be modified for each network installation
so that IP addresses, port numbers, encoder types and program listings correspond to actual
network settings. A keyboard must be attached or use the wireless keyboard available from
VBrick to make these changes. See the
STB Admin Guide
for detailed XML configuration
examples.
