What version of the WM Server are you using?

Thx,
Ravi

I presume all your questions involve push and not pull
distribution.

The authorization on who can push and who cannot is
controlled by the "WMS Publishing Points ACL
Authorization". By default,Administrators can push and
create new publishing point as they have the write and
create access.

1. The answer is not necessarily. Like I said above, it is
possible for the encoder to create a new publishing point
on the fly - so if you specify a new publishing point and
you have the access to create new publishing point, then a
new publishing point will be created.

2. Port 7007 is not used anymore as the MSBD protocol is
being deprecated. Only HTTP push is allowed, so you should
push to port 80 (if your server is running on port 80).

3. I believe the source of your publishing point should
always be push:*

4. Announcement is so that you generate an ASX metafile
that the player would use to connect. If your publishing
point is called stones and CLH-1 is your server, then your
announcement looks good - but only for intranet. If you
will publish this URL on the internet, then your
announcement should have the fully qualified domain name
of your CLH-1 server.

Hope this helps.

Ravi
