Field
Field description
Usage tips
address that the Content
Server will stream to. The
range of allowable IP
addresses is from 224.0.0.1 to
239.255.255.255. The multicast
address you need to enter
depends on the configuration of
your network.
Server uses the first two octets of the IP
address specified in the Destination
multicast IP address of the WMS Multicast
Data Writer properties of the multicast
publishing point, but it dynamically assigns
the last two octets; for example, if 10.0.1.1
is specified at the publishing point, the
Content Server can use any address in the
10.0 range for multicast streaming.
Streaming port
range start
The port number for the start of
the live streaming port range
between 10000 and 65000.
If you do not enter a port range, the Content
Server will use the Destination multicast
port of the WMS Multicast Data Writer
properties of the multicast publishing point.
TTL
The multicast time to live (TTL)
threshold.
This value tells the network how far
multicast packets should be allowed to
travel across the network. The value
―Subnet‖ (TTL=1) means that packets do
not pass the first network router and should
mean a multicast stream is viewable on any
network, even those not enabled for
multicast, where the client is on the same
subnet as the Content Server.
The efficacy of higher values: LAN
(TTL=32), WAN (64), Internet (128),
Unrestricted (255) depends on the network
configuration.
If you do not enter a TTL, the Content
Server will use the Destination multicast
Time-to-live (TTL) of the WMS Multicast
Data Writer properties of the multicast
publishing point.
Publishing points:
Use existing
Select this option if you have
created publishing points on the
streaming server that you wish
to use. Enter the name of the
existing publishing points for
the Main and Dual video
streams.
If you are using a Two Videos layout there
must be two different publishing points to
stream one video stream off each. If you are
using Switching, Joined or Picture in Picture
layouts, you need to specify only one
publishing point, for Main.
Live URLs
The alternate URLs are set to
(http://(local)/tcs/data), Append
filename to URL is selected
and those options are grayed
out in the interface.
On demand settings
Write movies to the
default media
location
Select to have media to be
written to the Content Server‘s
default media location: this will
be either the E drive of the
Content Server or an alternate
storage location if you have a
NAS configured.
Do not select this option if you are
streaming from an external streaming
server.
You can check the default media storage
location in the Server overview. The default
media location for Windows Media files is
(media location)\data\media.
