This section highlights how to install the ARC client and enter your MediaWorks DX credentials to prepare the client for configuration.

3.1. How to Access the Installer

To download the installer:

1. Contact your NexLog DX-Series Reseller to obtain the latest ARC installer.

2. Once downloaded, select the ARC installer to launch the installation process. The Agent Recording Control Setup dialog opens.

4. Next, configure default values.

   1. In the Server field, select the Server checkbox and then enter the NexLog DX-Series recorder’s IP address.

   2. Enter the user account credentials used to access MediaWorks DX:

      • In the Username field, select the Username checkbox and then enter your username.

      • In the Password field, select the Password checkbox and then enter your password.

      • Optionally, to configure pre-populated credentials for users based on the specific Windows account they use to log in to their workstations, select the Dynamic checkbox to the right of Username. For each user who logs in, the username updates automatically.

   3. Alternatively, leave these fields blank. In that case, users must enter their credentials manually for each login session.

   You will see an installation progress bar.

5. After installation has completed, the final ARC installation page displays a checkbox that is selected by default to launch the ARC client automatically.

6. Select Finish to complete the installation and launch the client.

If default values are configured during installation, they will be pre-populated in the ARC login page.

After successfully installing and launching the ARC client, you can pin it to the Windows taskbar. This is optional but recommended for quick access to the ARC client.

To pin the ARC client to the taskbar:

1. Locate the ARC icon by clicking the down arrow in the taskbar at the bottom right.
