System Configuration

Overview

EchoSystem configuration is done when first installing the system or when preparing for a new term. Some configuration tasks are also done during the normal operation of the system. Common configuration tasks apply to the EchoSystem Server (ESS) itself, supporting server infrastructure, devices and scheduling. All of these tasks are driven through the ESS user interface.

You manage most UI-based system configuration tasks on the System tab and the Configuration tab. The following pages discuss these configuration settings and provide instructions for these tasks:

• Configure System Settings
• Configure the Flash Media Streaming Server
• Advanced Configuration Options
• Server Configuration for Presenters

Apart from System Configuration, there are other system-wide settings you should make before continuing with setting up the various objects in the system for lecture capture. The following pages discuss these settings and configuration tasks, and provide a variety of options for the organization of the system:

• Localize the EchoSystem
• Defaults and Inheritance
• Delegated Administration and Organizations
