Step 3. Configure the IP Address
You need to configure the IP address as explained below on both the server machine and in the QVCS
application. When done, be sure to reboot the machine before configuring the server in the
ETV Portal Server. VBrick strongly recommends that you use a static IP address rather than
a dynamically-configured DHCP. The use of a DHCP server creates a number of issues when
the IP address changes. For example clients configured to point to the VOD-W server's IP
address may need to be re-configured. Also, the ETV Portal Server is configured to use the
IP address of the VOD-W server so the Portal Server configuration will have to change. You
can configure the IP address by connecting a monitor to the VGA port on the server or by
using a remote connection (see Using a Remote Desktop Connection on page 17).
To configure the static IP address of the server machine in Windows
1. Go to
Start > Control Panel > Network Connections > Local Area Connection

the VOD-W, see Configuring Secure Communications on page 12.
Step 4. Configure the ETV Portal Server
The VOD-W server must be configured in VBrick's ETV Portal Server before it is
recognized as part of the ETV system
