Once the form is filled in and the NMS has performed provisioning in software, the iMG will begin its provisioning either
immediately (if the iMG/RG is already connected and powered on), or later (when the iMG /RG is connected and powered on).
When complete, the iMG is listed and includes its IP address, upstream port, and the associated profiles. Refer to the following
figure.

7.6.10 Configuration 9 - Microsoft© Mediaroom™ with the iMG/RG
The Media Room configuration is sometimes referred to as a “Whole Home” configuration which means configuring the iMG/
RG device to allow all media room devices that are connected to the iMG to communicate to each other and share content as
needed. In this configuration all media room devices such as PCs, printer, DVR, STB, etc. can share content because they are
connected to the same local network. (Additional configuration may be required in STB, PC or other media room devices to
setup a fully connected media room environment.)
Sharing a local network also allows connecting any video or data devices to LAN ports configured for media room with the
iMG. This is possible because the iMG is configured to assign IP addresses to connected devices using DHCP and allows data
sharing through the local network with connections to upstream services as requested by media room devices.
Examples where this type of communication is useful include:
