Media Flow Controller Configuration Tasks (CLI)
Configuring the FMS Admin Console—First Time (CLI)
The FMS Admin Console allows you to monitor and manage FMS activity, including the
current FMS user sessions, streams, and performance. The Media Flow Controller Web-
based Management Console lets you monitor only the delivery of the files configured under
VOD.
Note! Do not use your Media Flow Controller as a Web server for the FMS Admin Console.
To use the FMS Admin Console to monitor FMS activity, you need to copy three files under
the FMS installation directory to the doc root of your origin-server; We recommend placing
these files in a directory separate from your FMS video files directory.
1. To obtain the three files, you can download the FMS Development Server to your origin-
server and unpack it.
2. You can locate the three files you need in the fms/webroot directory of the unpacked FMS
Development Server tarball:
/fms_adminConsole.htm
/resources/AC_RunActiveContent.js
/swfs/fms_adminConsole.swf
Copy these three files to your doc root (/var/www/html) in a directory you create; for
example fmsAdmin.
3. Open a browser to your Media Flow Controller using this URL (example uses fmsAdmin):
http://<IP_address_of_origin-server>/fmsAdmin/fms_adminConsole.htm
4. Login with the FMS Admin Console credentials you configured in step 6 of
on Media Flow Controller (CLI)" on page 97
Controller for Server Address.
5. Complete FMS setup on Media Flow Controller by following the instructions given in

"Configuring FMS on Media Flow Controller for Video On Demand (CLI)."

The advantage to installing the FMS Admin Console before FMS configuration is complete is
that, when FMS configuration on Media Flow Controller is complete, you can immediately
check the installation via the FMS Admin Console. Otherwise, you must send appropriately
defined traffic and verify FMS processing through the Media Flow Controller. You can do this
either by looking at the logs and graphs in the Media Flow Controller Web-based Management
Console or by using show counters at the CLI to observe FMS traffic.
Configuring FMS on Media Flow Controller for Video On Demand (CLI)
To configure FMS for video on demand (VOD), log in to the FMS shell from the CLI config
mode in Media Flow Controller:
application fms shell
This CLI command takes you to the FMS installation directory and from there, all FMS
configuration changes can be done. The configuration entails creating a Media Flow Controller
FMS directory and namespace or namespaces.
When an RTMP request comes to FMS, it scans the configuration file in the application
directory /fms/applications to find the requested file. You configure Media Flow Controller
namespace to correspond with the configuration of VOD_DIR.
