Note:  When a SRT stream connection request comes via an internet connection, the user must 
configure their Firewall to forward all data from the incoming port to the specified SRT source port 
on the Re-Caster.  Any non-SRT traffic or unauthorised SRT servers will be ignored.

It is recommended that all IP stream traffic passing across the internet is encrypted.  If this is 
required, click on the Destination field padlock symbol and enter an encryption passphrase of at 
least 6 characters. 

6.

 

Click on the list box symbol in the Destination field and enter the internet IP address (or host 
name) of the site that you will to allow to access this SRT stream.  This would be the IP address of 
Site B & C in the example above.

After a few seconds check that an incoming data rate is shown (near the bottom of the Route 
entry right-pointing arrow).  This indicates the Re-Caster is successfully accessing the incoming IP 
TV stream.  If this remains at zero, check the correct IP address (or host name) of the 

device

 

providing the stream has been set (click on the Source field, list box symbol).  After that, disable 
(+ Apply) and re-enable (+Apply) the source to re-join the incoming multicast stream. 
When an external Re-Caster (from site B or C) connects successfully to this Re-Caster, the 
outgoing data rate (left pointing arrow) will then increase to reflect the total outgoing data rate of 
that TV channel. 

 
On 

Sites B and C

, the Re-Casters that want to access the Channel 1 stream should be configured as 

follows:

Click on the 

Routing 

web page link on the left-hand side panel.

and enter the public IP address (or host name) and port number of the source SRT Re-Caster on 
site A.
