Cisco Cisco MXE 3500 (Media Experience Engine) Guía De Instalación

Your Cisco MXE 3500 appliance comes with a default demo license. Obtain and install the full 
Cisco MXE 3500 Release 3.3.2 license with the base PID and any optional feature PIDs. 

The Software License Claim Certificate that ships with your Cisco MXE 3500 appliance contains 
instructions on how to obtain licenses.

Instructions on how to obtain and install a license are also detailed in the “Licensed Features” chapter 
of the 

 on Cisco.com.

Your Cisco MXE 3500 appliance comes configured with some system and user settings. After initial 
configuration, access the Cisco MXE 3500 web UI to perform the following tasks described in the 
“Configuration and Administration Tasks” section of the 

:

Configure Users—The Cisco MXE 3500 comes with the default user as admin. For improved 
security, we suggest that you change the password for this user. 

Configure Hosts—For a standalone deployment, configure only one host. The first host is always 
the same IP address as the standalone or RM appliance configured in the initial configuration. For 
a cluster, add each Resource Node (RN) as a host. This task makes the RM aware of the RN on which 
to schedule jobs and tasks.

Configure Input and Output Directories—The default setting for the input and output directories 
points to LOCALHOST. For a clustered deployment, replace LOCALHOST with the IP address of 
the RM appliance.

Configure Shared Folders (Optional)—The default setting allows open access to the shared folders. 
To secure the shared folders, configure the Active Directory mode or Local User Access mode.

Configure the Simplified User Interface (SUI) Feature (Optional)—To allow end users access to the 
Video Conversion Interface to encode and share videos, configure the SUI feature. 

Create Folder Attendant Directory and Watch (Optional)—Configure Folder Attendant to monitor 
directories and to automatically initiate job processing when new or updated media/XML files 
appear.

Create Profiles—The Cisco MXE 3500 comes with a set of default profiles. Customize these 
profiles or create new profiles for your deployment. 

Do not overwrite the default profiles. Use Save As to modify an existing default profile with your new 
configuration settings.
