Listen Address
The IP address that the multicast client listens to. The value must be a
Class D multicast address, which typically starts with 224.xxx.xxx.xxx.
Because some addresses may be reserved (see below), consult with the
Network Administrator for assistance.
Listen Port
The port address that the multicast client will listen on.
Transfer Order
Permits setting the order in which the items are transferred: package
mode or script last mode.
Reserve MBs
Permits allocating a fixed amount of the Mantis internal storage space
for receiving a multicast update. To determine this value, estimate the
largest multicast update likely to be received, i.e. 1000 MBs. Next,
double that amount to allow room for both the compressed archive and
the extraction process, i.e. 1000 MBs x 2 = 2000 MBs.
Delete Channel
Defaults Listen fields to empty for the channel deleted.
- 224.0.0.0/24 is reserved by RFC.
- 224.0.1.0/24 is used by specific applications (NTP).
Multicasting is an optional feature enabled by a software upgrade.
If the Mantis does not have the Multicasting feature (menu items
are “grayed out”) and your application requires it, contact a Visual
Circuits representative at 1-800-250-5533.
