Other Information needed by the Installation Site URL/IP address for the TPM Server URL/IP address for the NEESPop Server URL/IP addresses for each of the Axis devices URL/IP address of LView DAQ computer... License key for BroadWare IMS Proxy Server If you are a NEES Equipment site contact zaluzec@aaem.amc.anl.gov to get your license. You will need to supply a MAC address for your Linus TPM Server. Your NEES License will get you a 10 input 500 client output license. If you need more than 10 Video Input streams you will need 2 licenses. It is recommended that high traffic sites put no more than 10 Input streams on a single Linux server. If you are NOT a NEES Equipment Site these licenses can be purchased from Broadware Technologies attn:Jeremy Silver 408 891 4134 Email:jeremy@broadware.com Part Number: P-PSL-NGPEDU Product: IMS 2.0 for RH Linux Price: $2,000 Note: the Broadware license is NOT required to install the TPM server software you can install a basic operating package without this license, however, which will still server Video stream. It will however be performance limited. You can install a TPM server without a Broadware license and at a future date add the license.
