Terminating(active) IPCAST channel configuration - Initial steps

Terminating(active) recording: When recorded media streams are sent by recorded device directly to the recorder.
Passive recording: When recorded media streams are retrieved from the network traffic by monitoring the Mirror Port on the network switch.

Terminating IPCAST software package configured in config hw ipcast mode.

Following steps assumed to be completed, prior to the configuration described in this section: 

1. VSLogger server software installed
2. ipcast hardware was enabled and a number of devices (channels) was set.  Refer to config hw ipcast- Terminating IPCAST 

How to use CLI Tool - refer to CLI Tool Overview

Attention!!: most of the corresponding configuration functionality is also available within Versadial VSLogger Monitor graphical interface.  Select setup View  Setup View and the corresponding section (General, Storage, Channels, etc..).
