Using VBAdmin
The VBrick H.264 Appliance has an integrated management interface (VBAdmin) that lets
you manage VBrick configuration from an external browser. This allows network managers
to remotely configure and monitor the appliances from virtually anywhere. As shown in
Table 17 you can launch VBAdmin in Internet Explorer or Firefox (other browsers are not
supported by VBrick). You connect to VBAdmin by pointing to the IP Address (for example:
http://192.168.5.5
between client and server are encrypted.) VBAdmin is one of several ways you can manage
the VBrick encoder (for example you can also use Telnet or the Command Line Interface)
but VBAdmin is the easiest to use.
