STREAMING SERVERS
ORBAN MODEL 1010
Installation — Microsoft Windows
This information will quickly guide you through a typical Icecast2 GUI software in-
stallation on a Microsoft Windows operating system and provide you with any
Orban Opticodec-PC specific information.
Installation, setup, and configuration of server software is not recom-
mended for computer novices because of complexity and potential secu-
rity risks. Proceed with caution. Knowledge of basic Command Prompt
operation is assumed.
For other server configurations, operating systems, and more details, consult the
documentation available at:
http://www.icecast.org/docs.php
Complete Icecast2 documentation is also provided in the icecast2.chm file, which is
installed with Icecast2 in the same directory and is also accessible under the
About/Help menu.
Depending upon the application and/or client player capacity of the streaming sys-
tem you intend to serve, Icecast2 requirements will vary.
Since Icecast2 is available for Microsoft Windows, it is possible to run the Opticodec-
PC encoder on the same computer system. This is only recommended for small LAN
or WAN applications. For larger Internet streaming applications, it is always prefer-
able to use separate encoder and server computers to optimize reliability, redun-
dancy, and system architecture.
