Configuring General Streaming Parameters
In the Streaming menu select on the General sub-menu to specify the MTU and Multicast Address,
and to disable the RTSP Keep-Alive requests.
Figure 55: General – Streaming Parameters
MTU
The MTU refers to the size in bytes of the largest packet that a given layer of a communications
protocol can pass onwards. A higher MTU means higher bandwidth efficiency. When a
transmission is noisy, changing the size of the MTU improves the communication and bit error rate.
Multicast Address
The multicast address is the default address used for multicast streaming.
RTSP Keep-Alive
The RTSP Keep-Alive scheme is used to ensure that an RTSP initiated session stays active. A
system that does not support this scheme can disable it.
To set general streaming parameters:
1. In the left pane select the Streaming menu, and from the sub-menus select General.
The right pane displays the General Streaming Parameters area.
2. In the MTU text-box, enter a MTU value between 368 and 1472.
3. In the Multicast Address text-box, enter the required multicast address. The range of addresses
that can be used is specified by RFC 3171 standard as 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
4. Select to clear the RTSP Keep-Alive check box to disable the keep-alive scheme.
5. Select Save.
