6 For installations that will include more than one RX unit, for either video or audio or both, then you need to configure the
Multicast Settings section.
The two Video and the single Audio Multicast sub-sections are configured in exactly the same way:
• First, tick the Enable Multicast Video / Enable Multicast Audio check box.
• Next, enter appropriate Multicast Addresses for the System port Video/Audio data stream(s). The set of IP addresses
between 224.0.0.0 and 239.255.255.255 are specifically reserved for multicast operations. Within a private enterprise net-
work, you merely need to choose a location that is currently unused. However, if your link will pass through public networks,
then attention must be given to finding an address within these limits that is not already reserved for special use. The IANA
(Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) website: iana.org provides a list of publicly reserved addresses.
• Next, enter appropriate Multicast Address 2 entries for the Teaming port Video/Audio data stream(s).
The video and audio multicast addresses must be different, as must the System and Teaming ports The addresses that you
enter will be used by the RX unit to ‘listen-in’ on the video and audio data streams output by the TX unit. The same IP
addresses need to be set on every RX unit that will similarly receive the video and audio data streams.
7 Click the Update Now button to save.
Repeat the IP addressing and multicast configuration steps for all RX units that will be part of the one-to-many installation.
For most installations, the successful implementation of these configuration steps will result in a correctly working system.
