User Interface
To set up and manage QuickTime Streaming Server (QTSS) and Darwin Streaming Server
(DSS), you use the web-based Streaming Server Admin application. This tool provides a standard graphical user interface for all supported platforms and allows you to administer the streaming server locally or remotely.
Working With Streaming Server Admin
Streaming Server Admin is a web-based user interface (UI) in which you can change general settings, create and serve playlists, monitor connected users, view log files, manage bandwidth usage, relay a stream from one server to another for scalability, and control
QuickTime Broadcaster remotely. Because the interface is web-based, you can administer your server and QuickTime Broadcaster from anywhere by connecting from any computer with compatible software and with Internet access.

To configure and administer your server:
From Mac OS X Server, click the Streaming Server Admin icon in the Dock. From a server with QuickTime Streaming Server or Darwin Streaming Server installed, open your web browser. From a remote computer, open Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.5 or later,
Netscape Navigator or Netscape Communicator version 4.x or later, or Mozilla 1.0 or later.
