Gateway Configuration in Standalone Mos Config Web-Application

It is possible to use the standalone web application for configuring Gateway settings. See the Launch Standalone MOS Config Web-Application section for further information.

Database Settings

Database settings can be configured using a configuration web application hosted by the Media Sequencer. With recent versions of Viz Pilot and Viz Trio, this web application will be used for database configuration. It is also possible to open the configuration web application from a web browser on the control station, with the address: http://localhost:8580/app/pilotdbconfig/pilotdbconfig.html.
