[AG-TECH] 2.1.1b Multi-machine Cnfiguration Questions

[Rabarison Monika Klara]

Donell,

I have installed 2.1.1b on 3 machine room node (win 2000 as display, 
redhat 7.3 for both audio and video capture, and win 98 for control)
following the "How to Build a Room-based Access Grid Node AGtk 2.0" doc.

1) I did not make any change for the control machine

2) the display machine runs a service manager, the node service, a video 
consumer, and the venue client

3) the single capture machine runs a service manager, an audio service, 
and 2 video producers (I have 2 cameras)

You may want to recheck your Node Management configuration:
 *VideoConsumer on display machine
 *Audio Service for Audio Capture
 *Video Producers for Video Capture.

I did not add Audio service for the display machine and did not add 
VideoConsumer for the video capture machine.

Good Luck,

Monika
