Initial configuration for Windows¶

Quickstream Node initial configuration should be done using a tool called Quickstream Node Setup. It is a special GUI application that is located in a windows tray.

If the quickstream icon is not present in the windows tray it means it is not running. Make sure Quickstream Node is properly installed. You can run Quickstream Node setup manually by running C:\Program Files\Quickstream\Quickstream5\bin\quickstream5-setup.exe
