Disable CMS and disconnect from Panopto

When you use the Admin panel to disable CMS on Pearl Nano, the remote recorder disconnects from Panopto. As long as Pearl Nano is still registered, you can create new scheduled sessions in Panopto for this remote recorder, but the events schedule won't synchronize until CMS is re-enabled.

If CMS is re-enabled on Pearl Nano before a VOD session is scheduled to end, recording starts automatically on Pearl Nano when the connection to Panopto is re-established. However, when the start of a scheduled webcasting event is missed, the stream does not automatically start when the connection is re-established. A new webcasting event should be created.

Revoking the registration key and deleting Pearl Nano as a remote recorder is performed in Panopto, see Panopto's documentation for instructions. If you delete Pearl Nano in Panopto, all scheduled and recurring events that were associated with Pearl Nano are permanently deleted.

Content Management Systems (CMSs) can change channel settings automatically. After disabling CMS on Pearl Nano, it's good practice to check your channel settings or apply a configuration preset to restore your channel to known values.

Important considerations

  • You cannot start unscheduled ad hoc events when CMS is disabled on Pearl Nano.
  • Sessions that are scheduled to start while CMS is disabled on Pearl Nano do not start on Pearl Nano.

  • Scheduled webcasting events do not start if Pearl Nano's connection to Panopto is not available.

  • Deleting Pearl Nano in Panopto permanently deletes future scheduled and recurring sessions associated with that remote recorder.
  • Do not disable CMS while an event is in progress.
