2: Installation 

Your Network  

The PC running VBDirectory needs to be connected to the network, and there needs to be at 
least one VBrick configured to send Management SAPs (please refer to the VBrick Admin 
Guide). It operates on any PC that has access to the network.    

System Requirements 

VBrick Systems recommends the following minimum system specifications: 

 

 

2000, XP, or Vista. 

 

 

Any Pentium processor. 

 

 

128 Mb RAM. 

 

 

Minimal space required (under 400k). 

Installation 

VBDirectory is installed in either of the following two ways: 

 

 

Run SetupVBDirectory4_1_0.exe and follow the on-screen directions.  The Setup 
program installs the program on your computer.  It is recommended that the default 
settings be used.  The setup installs the software in the default location in Program 
Files>VBrick>VBDirectory .  Use the default folder or specify the location. 

 

 

VBDirectory is installed along with the installation or upgrade of VB1000-2000-3000 
MPEG-1 and VB400-5000-6000 MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 VBrick appliances when 
using Intelligent Download, the VBrick installation and upgrade program.  

 

 
 
 

 

CHAPTER two 

 

 

IMPORTANT: 

 VBDirectory must be closed during installation or upgrade to avoid an 

error being reported.  If the application is open, just close the file and complete the 
installation.
