Manager and to stream media files to an in-house network or to the
Internet. The following sections describe how to install and configure your
Media Server.

the File Manager, and to access the files that are on the Trilligent Cluster or
MediaNetwork workgroup storage. This software is supplied on the
MediaNetwork CD-ROM in the Media Server kit.

Computer window opens.
