up procedure (about 30 sec.) the NetGator will be ready to be used as a multimedia streaming
machine.
In order to prepare your PC (as well as other PCs in your network) to enjoy live video
and audio transmissions from NetGator, special client software from Darim needs to be installed.
This could be done simply by inserting NetGator software CD in the drive and following the
onscreen instructions. Alternatively, (if the CD auto-play feature is disabled in your system) you
can do that by locating and running the MXCLIENT.EXE file on the provided disc. Note that the
same installation procedure has to be done on every participating PC.
As soon all the preparations are complete, the green Active LED on the NetGator unit
will start blinking rapidly and the tiny “satellite dish” icon in the bottom right hand corner of the
screen will also turn green. This indicates that the live video and audio multicast transmission is
under way and the client software on all participating PCs is successfully receiving it. The
playback window will optionally pop-up on the screen to let you watch the program effortlessly.
