Performing a Link Test

Follow the procedure below to perform a link integrity test between an encoder and decoder(s).

1. 

Launch a web browser and enter the IP address of the encoder in the address bar.

2. 

Open another tab in the browser and enter the IP address of the subscribing decoder in the address bar. 

3.  Verify that all desired decoders are subscribed to the encoder’s multicast address and port number.  In the 

decoder example below, the 

IP Input

 > 

Input 1

 > 

Multicast address

 field is set to 

225.0.0.11

.  This is the 

same IP address that is assigned to the 

Session

 > 

Session 1

 > 

Destination IP address

 field on the encoder.

4.  On the encoder, click the 

Session

 menu.

5.  Under the 

Video

 section, click the 

Link test

 button.
