Configuring Multicast Mode
The term multicast is used to describe a configuration where information is sent from one
or more points to a set of other points. For example, a single Sender unit can transmit data
to multiple Receiver units. In addition, if multiple Sender units are used, each Sender unit
can transmit data to any Receiver that is not already receiving data from another Sender
unit. In multicast mode, the DVI KVM over IP with Local DVI Output functions similar to a
DVI KVM matrix.
The illustration, below, shows 3 Sender units (S1, S2, and S3) and 2 Receiver units
(R1 and R2) on a network, operating in multicast mode. The video channels are shown
in blue.
Figure 2.5 - Multicast mode: A Sender unit can communicate with multiple Receiver units.
1. Access the Web interface for each Sender and Receiver unit that will be using
multicast mode . In this example, we will start with Receiver S2.
2. Click the Network tab.

behaves as a DVI KVM Matrix.
