MTU Size
The maximum transmission unit (MTU) specifies the maximum packet size for transfer on
the network. The default value is 1500, which is the largest value allowed by Ethernet at the
network layer. It’s best if all nodes in your network use the same value, so only change this
value if you know other nodes use a different value.
Tether to a Mobile Network
The Standalone VGA Grid supports tethering to a mobile device via USB. Tethered networking can work side-
by-side with Ethernet routing and either networking system can be a back-up for the other.
When the system falls over to the backup network type (i.e. from Ethernet to mobile, or vice versa)
all streaming sessions with clients or servers directly connected to the system are closed and the
clients will need to reconnect. You may need to provide a new stream URL (containing the new
IP address) to your viewers. See the channel information page to get the new stream URL.
By contrast, actively published streams are closed and reconnected via the secondary network
(mobile or Ethernet) automatically, permitted the required publishing server is accessible from the
new network.
To configure tethering to a mobile network:
1. Configure the mobile device to allow tethering via USB.
2. Connect the mobile device to the Standalone VGA Grid with a USB cable.
3. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See
Connect to the Admin
Interface
.
4. Login as admin.
