Unicast & Multicast Modes
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 4K Ultra HD HDMI & VGA KVM over IP functions similar to a
HD 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.

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.
