Shutdown

This button will perform a graceful shutdown of the DME. It will not restart after this action. To restart a hardware DME, toggle the physical power switch. To restart a VM, reboot from the VM host.

Reset

This will reset (i.e. reboots) the appliance. A reset does not change, save, or reset any configuration parameters.

Note: RTP UDP Auto Unicast connections from a VBrick encoder are not restored after a System Reset. To restore the connection, disable and then enable the RTP transmitter on the encoder.

Clear Licenses

This will clear all licenses within the DME. This is useful for removing DEMO licenses, which are only good for 31 days. Use this button to clear a demo license and activate a feature before your demo license has expired. After clearing any licenses, please go to Activate Feature to activate a new license.

Restart Streaming Service

The DME is made up of several services. There are two different streaming engines within the DME. This button controls the RTSP server (that by default uses port 554). Clicking this button will reset the RTSP server. Also, when using this server with the VC Gateway lines (an optional feature) for audio-only calls you may need to restart the streaming server to subsequently use those lines for audio/video calls. See VC Gateway Configuration > Incoming Lines for more information.

The second streaming service, also referred to as the Multiprotocol Server, controls RTSP/RTMP/RTMFP/RTSP/HLS streams (that by default use 1935, 5544, and 80 depending on protocol). If you wish to reset this server, then please use the "Disable Server""Enable Server" toggle button at the far left of the bottom status bar with DME VBAdmin (Web UI).

Clear Cache

Use this button to clear the cache on the DMEs. This will clear all DME Cached content (both memory and disk cache for any http traffic) – it will not remove any pre-positioned content that is stored on the disk. After clearing, our caching engine will start fetching, first-time caching and serving new web pages rather than serving cached pages. Once the cache has the content, it will be served from the cache.

Remove Active Streams

This button will remove all actively configured input and output streams. Should be used in conjunctions with VBrick Support only. After use, all active streams will need to be disabled and then re-enabled to start again.
