Pearl Nexus User Guide

Disable CMS and disconnect from Opencast

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

If CMS is re-enabled on Pearl Nexus before a VOD session is scheduled to end, recording starts automatically on Pearl Nexus when the connection to Opencast is re-established.

Important considerations

You cannot start unscheduled ad hoc events when CMS is disabled on Pearl Nexus.
Sessions that are scheduled to start while CMS is disabled on Pearl Nexus do not start on Pearl Nexus.
Deleting Pearl Nexus in Opencast permanently deletes future scheduled and recurring sessions associated with that remote recorder.
Do not disable CMS while an event is in progress.

Login to the Admin panel as admin, see Connect to the Admin panel.
From the Configuration menu, click CMS. The Content management system configuration menu opens.
To disconnect Pearl Nexus, select none from the Choose CMS drop down and then click Apply.
