Work with Network Manager
InfoCaster systems work either as stand-alone creation stations, or as part of a network of multiple systems
comprised of creation stations and players controlled by Network Manager.
Creation Station
InfoCaster systems behave as either creation stations or players, depending on
their current modes and dongle settings.
Creation stations create and edit your InfoCaster projects, called InfoCasts,
which include page layout, content, and scheduling. When connected to output
hardware, stand-alone creation stations can output InfoCasts to a single
location.
Creation stations can also send InfoCasts to multiple locations by publishing
them to Network Manager, and then Network Manager sends the InfoCasts to
one or more players. When connected to Network Manager, the creation station
video output channel can be used as a preview channel before publishing an
InfoCast.
Creation stations can run as players by selecting Tools > Run as Player. When
running as a player, InfoCaster has limited permission and cannot publish
InfoCasts.
Player
Players are configured to receive InfoCasts and play them using their output
hardware. Network Manager sends commands to the player(s), instructing them
to download InfoCasts and play them at a specified time.
Players are primarily set up for hands-off, scheduled display of InfoCasts, but
creation station and Network Manager operators can give players some editing
permissions.
Network Manager
Network Manager defines what player(s) the presentation is intended for and
when it needs to arrive. The Network Manager then publishes the necessary
files to a specified file server location (such as a high bandwidth server) and
notifies the specific player(s) to retrieve the presentations from the file server.
For detailed information on setting up your InfoCaster system to work with
Network Manager, see “Connect InfoCaster to Network Manager” in Chapter 1
of the InfoCaster User Guide.
