Connect an RJ-45 LAN cable to the LAN port on the rear of the MAX-CSE
encoder. Connect the other end of the cables to any of the ports on your
LAN switch.
Connect a composite or S-video cable to the corresponding ports on the rear
of the MAX-CSE encoder. Connect the other end of the cables to a device
capable of producing a video signal. The MAX-CSE encodes the video
signals into MPEG-2 multicast streams.

Test that you can access the server via the LAN. You can run this test by
accessing a Command Prompt using the Ping command. For example:
ping v2AMX-SVCTAG
If the server responds, continue to step 3.
Using a web browser on a PC with network access, navigate to
