the XP
Embedded operating system, and firmware on the system.
Verifying Software Versions

both the CMA Client software
and the media server

from the fixtures on your
network.
To verify the CMA version, select About from the Help drop down menu. The media server
software version is displayed for each server on the network in the All Servers view.

prohibited, it is highly recommended that all servers on the network
be running the same software version.
