Basic Setup—It Only Needs to Be Done Once
Prerequisites
Setting up Multicast Delivery
Before you can start
delivering your live content as
a multicast stream you need
to check that:
Your network is multicast-
•
enabled.
The IP address under
•
Destination multicast IP
address and port is correct
and modify it if necessary.
You have configured a
•
multicast delivery server.
Verify the IP address
under
Destination
multicast IP address
.
Remote Desktop into
your Content Server
and choose
Manage
Your Server
from the
Start Menu
.
Click on
Manage this
streaming media
server
.
Expand the list next
to the name of your
streaming media
server, then expand
the list of
Publishing
Points
.
Select the
TCSmulticastTemplate
Publishing Point
and
click on the
Properties
tab.
Select
Category
Multicast streaming
.
Right-click on
WMS Multicast Data
Writer
and select
Properties
from
the drop-down menu. Verify that
the
IP address
under
Destination
multicast IP address and port
is
correct and modify it if necessary.
Please note that the Content
Server will use the first two
octets of the IP address, but it
will dynamically assign the last
two octets, eg. if an IP address
like 10.0.1.1 is specified, TCS
may use any addresses in
the 10.0 range for multicast
streaming. If all your multicast
streams originate from a Content
Server, you may pick an IP range
when you set up your multicast
network, and tie it to the TCS.
