Multicast TTL (Time-to-Live)
NOTE:
Multicast TTL configuration applies to a DM-NVX-35x(C) device that is operating
as a transmitter.
Multicast TTL provides the ability to limit or extend the hop limit of a DM NVX stream
that traverses routers. In IPv4 multicasting, routers have a TTL threshold assigned to
each interface. Only multicast packets with a TTL greater than the threshold of the
interface are forwarded.
Multicast TTL can be set to any value ranging from 1 to 255. The default setting is 5.
To set a multicast TTL value, use the web interface or SIMPL Windows.
Using the Web Interface
To configure multicast TTL:
1.
Click the Settings tab and then click Stream.
2.
In the Advanced section:
a.
Disable Auto Initiation by setting the Auto Initiation toggle switch in the Off
(left) position.
b.
Stop the stream by clicking Stop.
c.
Enable Custom TTL by setting the Custom TTL toggle switch in the On (right)
position.
d.
In the TTL text box, enter the desired TTL value (1 to 255). The default setting
is 5.
e.
Enable Auto Initiation by setting the Auto Initiation toggle switch in the On
(right) position. The stream automatically restarts.
NOTE:
Disabling Custom TTL returns the TTL value to the default setting.
