Manual Access to Video Server Technology
Video Server Technology (VST) applications routinely open a TCP/IP connection to a
host running VST on the MVCP port, normally 5250. The application sends MVCP
commands to control VST.
The port value is set in the file /usr/vtr/config/control-in.conf. For example,
to set the port to 5250, use the following line in the file:
mvcp tcp 5250
Note: Do not change the port value from 5250 unless it is absolutely necessary.
You can, however, manually control VST by opening a telnet connection to a host
running VST and then issuing MVCP commands to control it. For example:
152% telnet server 5250
Trying 130.62.156.178...
Connected to server.
Escape character is ‘^]’
100 VTR Ready
To exit the telnet session, type the following command:
