Step 3 In the Stream Manager IP field, enter the IP address of the Stream Manager that you are generating IDs
for.
Step 4 Click Generate New IDs.
Configuration Generator Table
The table on the Configuration Generator page lists the Stream Domain Name, Stream Manager IP
address, and the ID ranges assigned for each Stream Manager.
Stream Group ID Range and Server ID Range
Sometimes the group IDs and Server IDs show as “not generated” in the table.To generate the IDs, click
the Not Generated text in the Stream Group ID Range column. A dialog box is displayed asking if you
want to generate the IDs now. Click OK.
Stream Manager IP Address
The IP address of the Stream Manager is not included in the table on the Configuration Generator page
until the Stream Manager is configured using the CDSM Setup page. It is possible that the Stream
Manager IP address failed to be captured, in which case the entry is displayed as “Not Captured.” Click
the Not Captured link to enter the IP address manually. A text box is displayed with an Update icon
(plus sign) and a Cancel icon (X).
Setup ID Range
Setup IDs are only used in RTSP environments that have split-domain management and are using CCP
Streamers. The VVIM only generates two setup IDs for each Stream Domain. A setup ID is used to
identify the Setup server in a Stream Group. The Setup and Control servers are configured for each
Stream Group on the Control/Setup IP page. See the “Configuring the Control and Setup IPs” section on
page 4-72 for more information. If the Stream Manager uses the two allotted setup IDs, it contacts the
VVIM for a new set of setup IDs. If the connection between the Stream Manager and VVIM fails, the
Stream Manager administrator contacts the VVIM administrator for the IDs. The new setup IDs can be
generated by clicking the Generate new Setup ID range icon in the Setup ID Range column.
Note CCP Streamers are not supported in a VVI split-domain management for RTSP environments.
Generating a Server ID from the Stream Manager
The Server ID Generator page is used to generate a server ID for a Streamer that is being added to the
VVI, but is unable to communicate with the Stream Manager. During the initial configuration, the
Streamer contacts the Stream Manager and requests a server ID. If the Streamer is unable to contact the
Stream Manager, the cdsconfig script displays a prompt to contact the Stream Manager administrator for
a server ID. The Stream Manager administrator would then go to the Server ID Generator page to
generate a server ID for the Streamer.
Note The Server ID Generator page is available only on the Stream Manager when VVI and Content Storage
are enabled in an ISA environment. For more information, see the “Content Storage” section on page F-9
and the “Virtual Video Infrastructure” section on page F-7.
