7.8.10.Troubleshooting the PS Installation
Use the following checklist if there are problems in getting the encoder to work with the server:
1. On the Configuration-->Presentation Server tab double check that the correct server address, port
and credentials have been entered. Try the Connection Test and/or view the upcoming Schedule. At
this point the encoder should be registering as a Capture Agent and its status should be visible on
the server's Capture Agent page.
2. There is no Capture Agent configuration required on the server. The Capture Agent simply registers
with the server and tries to pull down its upcoming schedule. If there is no status visible, make sure
that the encoder's DNS settings are correct and that there is no firewall blocking the ports (often
8080) used to communicate with the server. Make sure each Capture Agent has its own unique
name. Getting the encoder to register with the server is a critical step and must completed for
anything else to work.
