Server Infrastructure

System Settings Page

Completed	Item	Description
	Set Customer Identifier	This is the unique licensing identification number provided to your institution by Echo360 Sales as part of your system purchase. It is used to assign licenses to your EchoSystem Server (ESS).
	Set Application Settings	The application settings define access to the server for capture devices and playback. A fully qualified domain name is recommended.
	Set Intake Settings	Presentations are transferred by capture devices to an incoming FTP directory. The ESS provides a native SFTP server application supporting both SFTP with and without encryption. The ESS uses the Internal SFTP server by default. The ESS can also be configured for use with an external FTP server.
	Set Active Echo Settings	The ESS provides a native Web server application and uses this server by default. These settings define where active Echoes reside and how the HTML files for the presentations are served. Both the URL and directory must point to the same physical location. All paths (absolute, UNC or mapped drives) must be valid, and the base directories must already exist. The ESS can also be configured to use an external web server.
	Set Inactive Echo Settings	The ESS provides support for different storage locations.
	Set Streaming Settings	The ESS provides support for Flash media streaming services via a Wowza Media Server (Wowza) or an Adobe Flash Media Server. See /wiki/spaces/54/pages/590217261 for details.
	Set Custom Logo	The ESS provides support for custom logos and settings to provide institution branding support for presentation content. When using a custom logo, the dimensions should not exceed 300x60 pixels. Additionally, the best practice is to place the image on the web server defined in Active Echo Settings.
	Set Support Settings	Presentations can have metadata inserted into the EchoPlayer to send students to the institution's help desk page and support phone number.

Final Installation Steps

Completed	Item	Description
	Set Default Settings	Defaults simplify system configuration and scheduling by providing values for various settings. Setting these defaults may require some up-front planning. We recommend setting the defaults during initial configuration or after upgrading EchoSystem. Defaults are covered in detail in /wiki/spaces/54/pages/590217262.
	Retrieve Licenses	Licensing the ESS has two phases. First, the license must be retrieved from the Echo360 license server. Second, venue licenses must be assigned to the venues or lecture locations, and Personal Capture licenses assigned to Instructors. See /wiki/spaces/54/pages/590217289 and /wiki/spaces/54/pages/590217279.
	Change Administrative Password	Echo360 strongly recommends /wiki/spaces/54/pages/590217469 to a stronger one.
	Create and Install Server SSL Certificate	The EchoSystem ships with a default SSL certificate signed for use with the echo360.com domain. /wiki/spaces/54/pages/590217468, using internal or external PKI entities.
