Management SAP Settings
These options are used to enable or change the management SAP settings on the IPR. The
IPR transmits management SAPs for use by other VBrick devices and/or applications on the
network such as VBDirectory or the ETV Portal Server. SAPs (Session Announcement
Protocol) announce the presence of a device on the network. If configured, each VBrick
device periodically multicasts a SAP announcement to the network which can be detected by
listeners like VBDirectory.
Domain Name Server 1 Enter IP address of the first DNS server if present.
Domain Name Server 2 Enter IP address of the second DNS server if present.
Transmit Enable Enables transmission of the management SAP. Check to enable.
Leave blank to disable.
Group Name IPR can be assigned to groups for more organized management.
This is the group name that the IPR is associated with (for
example Finance).
Unit Number This value represents the specific IPR ID when it is part of a
group (for example Finance, unit 33).
Retransmit Time Specifies the interval (in seconds) between each transmission of
the management SAP.
Time to Live (TTL) Specifies the number of hops a SAP will travel before being
discarded.
Type of Service (TOS) Sets the value of the TOS bits in the IP header of the
management SAP packets. This parameter can be used to
implement quality of service within a network.
