TCP configuration: DEC-
300™ is the Client
Follow the steps below, to create a TCP connection at which the DEC-
300™ is the client:
Please open the
ENC-
300™
webpage, go to the
ENCODER > DESTINATION
webpage and
select in the
‘Transport Protocol’
drop-down field the variable
‘TCP/SERVER’
.
Remain at the
ENCODER > DESTINATION
webpage of the ENC-
300™ and specify in
‘Max
Cli
ents’
field the maximum number of allowed decoder clients for the TCP connection.
Maximum 5 decoder clients are possible. This field has only an effect when the ENC-300 is the
‘TCP/SERVER’.
At the
ENCODER > DESTINATION
webpage of the ENC-
300™, please enter a value in the
‘Send Buffer Size’
field (e.g. 250000). The ‘Send Buffer Size’ specifies how much TCP data
are maximal stored at the sender side (at the encoder side). The higher the value, the more
network problems can be absorbed, but the higher is the delay at the decoder in error case.
After an error case, the delay decreases again. The delay increases only, if an error occurs in
the network. That means: If no network problems occur, the delay does not increase, even
though a high value is set in the ‘Send Buffer Size’ field.
Remain at the
ENCODER > DESTINATION
webpage of the ENC-
300™ and enter in
‘Port’
field
a port number which is not blocked (e. g. 1234). The ENC-300 listens at this port number and
as soon as a TCP request is sent by the decoder, the encoder negotiates with the decoder
about a new port number.
Please open the
DEC-
300™
webpage, go to the
DECODER > SOURCE
webpage and select
in the
‘Transport Protocol’
drop-down field the variable
‘TCP/CLIENT’
.
At the
DECODER > SOURCE
webpage of the DEC-
300™, please enter in the
‘IP address’
field the IP-address of the ENC-
300™ (e. g. 172.16.20.100). Note: TCP supports only unicast.
Remain at the
DECODER > SOURCE
webpage of the DEC-
300™ and enter in the
‘Port
number’
field the same port number, which you have entered in the ENC-
300™ (e.g. 1234).
Now the ENC-
300™ and the DEC-300™ are configured for a TCP-connection.
