After signing up for Outpost and receiving your custom invitation you should download the EVO plug-in as well as the configuration file from the account manager page.
Note: EVO must have a valid gateway configured in order to send files from ShareBrowser to outpost.cloud.
Installing the plug-in:
Navigate to your EVOs IP address or hostname in a browser to get to the Admin interface:
The recommended first step is to create a new reserved share from the Shares page to hold plug-in backups, as the Outpost plug-in can take advantage of this when upgrading in order to retain user and setting information.
To do this, first navigate to Shares, and on a logical disk with space available create a Reserved share under Advanced.
Next, move on to installing the plug-in.
Click the life raft in the upper right corner and choose OS Data.
Scroll down to Installed Plug-ins and choose the , then click Install plug-in.
Upload the plug-in and click Next.
Choose the reserved share for a Backup location and click Next.
After the plugin is installed, log out or navigate to http://{evo-url}/#/splash to get back to the splash page.
Configuring the plug-in
Go the Outpost plugin by choosing its card from the splash page.
First you will be prompted to upload the .json configuration file downloaded from your custom Outpost administration interface.
If you did not download this already, you can retrieve this from the account manager by choosing "Download plugin config file."
Next, you will next be prompted to login to the plug-in with the EVO Administrator credentials.
After this is uploaded you will be prompted to create users.
Creating users
The next page will list all local EVO users as well as allow you to search for and add AD/LDAP users if your EVO is connected to those services.
Any user that should be allowed to send files to Outpost will need a Display Name and Email configured. This email will be used when communicating with that user and the name will be used in Outpost as well as email notifications when that user sends a file.
All users can attempt to send to Outpost from ShareBrowser, but ONLY users configured here will successfully be able to submit files.
Once users are saved, Outpost should be ready to go and you can try to send a file from ShareBrowser.
Further configuration
There are more settings available, if necessary, under the icon.
ShareBrowser Admin Password: If the ShareBrowser administrator password has been changed from default, this is required to be set here for correct function of the Outpost plug-in.
Temporary Share for Transcoded Files: The default is sys-management as most EVOs ship with this share, this can be configured to any other share and temporary files will be in an folder called outpost-temp and removed once they are uploaded.
Transcoding Preset: The Outpost plugin will create a new preset by default which retains the original file resolution with an h.264 codec. All files going to outpost will be encoded in a temporary file to this preset and uploaded to Outpost. This can be changed here to any h.264 preset on EVO including presets that use watermarks or burnt-in timecode.
