Bonjour
If Bonjour is enabled and the Bonjour protocol is supported, this device is automatically
identified in the network as an IP camera.
In the network, the IPC server name connects to the Bonjour protocol.
The system displays the server name e.g. in the network explorer to all users which operate
in the same address range.
4.4.10 Setup
Network
Multicast
Multicast describes the transmission of data from one point to a group (multi-point
connection).When there are multiple hosts to receive the same data packet, multiple cast is
the best option to reduce the broad width and the CPU load. Hence data packets can
efficiently be sent to several recipients at the same time. This is done by using special
multicast IP addresses.
Please note that specific hardware might be required. Not all switches or routers support this
function.
Multicast address:
Valid IPs for multicast groups: 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
Reserved IPs: 224.0.0.0 to 224.0.0.225
Administrative addresses: 239.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255: Cannot be used for Internet
transmissions.
