    Default Need help setting an edge server!

    Hello. I need help.

    I have recently bought a FMIS license, because I need to broadcast live video
    to a few classrooms over the internet,
    and I need to use the origin/edge approach to diminish the bandwidth
    requirements, since each computer in the classrooms
    will access an edge server, instead of the origin server.

    The problem is, I have no idea how to set this up.

    I looked at the livedocs about setting up an origin/edge, and still I haven't
    been able to figure out what I should do.

    Before I place my questions, I want to show how I intend to use the edge
    servers:
    a) In each classroom, there will be an edge server.
    b) The html pages containing the live feed, will probably be on a local
    intranet server (same machine as the edge server)
    c) The access to the origin server should be in an implicit URI mode.
    The students will access their local edge server
    and it will foward automatically to the origin through a "<proxy>" tag.


    Now here are my questions:

    1. On the 7th item of your "How to set up an origin/edge" list there is:
    "Make sure the fms.ini file is customized on each origin and proxy.". What does
    that mean exactly?

    2. On the 9th item of the same list: "Verify that all proxies can access the
    origin server". How do I do that? Is it just by making sure on machine can
    communicate with the other?

    3. O another tutorial, you guys showed an example of a proxy configuration:

    <Proxy>
    <Mode>remote</Mode>
    <Anonymous>false</Anonymous>
    <CacheDir enabled="true" useAppName="true">d:\fmsCache\</CacheDir>
    <LocalAddress></LocalAddress>
    <RouteTable protocol="">
    <RouteEntry>edge1.fms.com:*;192.168.110.150:1935 </RouteEntry>
    </RouteTable>
    </Proxy>

    Where exactly do I put this text? On the server.xml?

    Is there anything else I need to do?



    I would really appreciate some help in this matter. I'm not very experienced
    with flash or FMS, and I need to set this up as soon as possible.


    Thank you in advance
