2.1 Prerequisites
Before you begin
Carefully review this section before starting the design and installation of MultiProbe.
Hardware Requirements
Hardware requirements for MultiProbe depend on several factors:
- Number of monitoring objects
- Total bitrate of the monitored streams
- Interface boards in use
- Number of simultaneous users
Contact Stream Labs for a hardware sizing consultation based on your specific monitoring scheme.
Pre-Installation Checklist
Before installing MultiProbe, ensure the following conditions are met:
- The monitoring scheme and system structure have been designed — Central Server, Nodes, and workstations (AWS) have been selected
- Servers have been provisioned with the required OS and software
- Data sources and visualization devices have been connected to the servers
- Network access from the Central Server to all adjacent systems has been configured
- TCP communication between all servers has been enabled
- HTTP access from AWS to the Central Server has been verified
- Local access to all Node servers has been provided
- Antivirus software has been disabled on all servers
- Firewall exceptions have been configured where required
AWS Requirements
The workstation used for installation (AWS) must have Google Chrome 53+ or Mozilla Firefox 17+ installed. The Central Server itself can also serve as the AWS.
