Part 1. A Tour of the Media Server

Installing the media server puts a new group in the

Programs

section of the

Start

menu (below, left) and (assuming you selected this option during installation) a new
shortcut on the Windows desktop (below, right).

Before you start the server

, examine the “system tray.” This is the

clock/notification area normally located at the right end of the task bar. What it
contains varies from computer to computer; the illustration here is only an
example.

To start the server

, double-click its desktop

shortcut (or, if you prefer, open the

Start

menu,

go to

Programs

, open the

Cyber Media Server

folder, and choose the

Cyber Media Server

command).

After a few seconds, the server’s icon will appear in the system tray.

When the server starts up, it automatically announces its presence on the
network and waits for requests from media adapters for listing and content.
This is then shown by the animated “waves” emanating from the antennas on
the tray icon. When these waves appear, the server is said to be “actively
running.”

However, the first time the server starts up, it has no audio/video content to list
or send. Finding and selecting the content that you want it to offer is the first
part of server “configuration.”

It is through the tray icon’s command menu that you start the process of
configuring the server.
