Verify Installation

Use the following steps to verify the MCS/ACNS integration is successful:

1. Be sure that the MCS Portal Server and ACNS are configured as explained above.
2. Go into the ACNS management system and verify that the video content added via the

ETV Portal Server has been pushed to the ACNS remote content engine's disk storage.

3. Open a browser and launch a Portal Server client.
4. Launch a stored MPEG-4 or WM video from the Portal Server user interface. The

MPEG-4 or WM content should run and play successfully to conclusion.

5. If you run a packet sniffer on the MCS client, a trace will show that the client was

redirected to play the content from a Cisco node and not from a VBrick VOD server.
