Push or Pull?

When configuring Windows Media Encoder or Microsoft Expression encoder; there are two connection methods.

Using a Push

• Setup is very simple
• The connection to NetroMedia aquisition servers is started by the Encoder
• Using a Push you can broadcast from any location any time
• See the following FAQ to Configure your Encoder for a Push

Using a Pull

• Is recommended for long duration broadcasts (longer than 2 hours)
• NetroMedia aquisition servers constantly try to "pull" content from the Encoder
• Setup requires a Port Forward configured on your router (Default port of 8080)
• Setup requires an exception in your firewall
• Setup requires a Static IP address or use of a Dynamic DNS service
• See the following FAQ to Configure your Encoder for a Pull
