Encoder is a tool which you can use to convert your stream into a desired format. There are both hardware and software encoders but I believe you are interested in software encoders. (list of encoders and how to use them with Wowza can be found here )

For starting you might wanna try using "Flash Media Live Encoder" with a webcam attached to your PC.

Host address is the address of your stream server, and stream name is the name for the stream you desire :

Server: rtmp://[wowza-ip-address]/[application-name]

Stream: stream-name

A detailed tutorial can be found here on Wowza webpage.
