Parameters
The Basic View configuration parameters are as follows:
•
Enabled: This allows the output stream to be enabled or disabled. If it is disabled, no
packet transmission takes place. This feature is provided for testing purposes (i.e.,
temporarily disable an output for fault-finding). Most users will leave the stream
enabled.
•
UDP Port: selects the UDP port to transmit to. Valid values are between 1 and 65535.
Note that, in traditional IP networks, UDP ports between 1 and 1023 are reserved for
administrative uses. The use of UDP ports 1024 and higher is recommended. The 9223-
SA, however, will accept any legal value. Note that if the port is configured for RTP (see
the Advanced View discussion later in this section), the UDP port must be an even
number, and the 9223-SA user interface will enforce this restriction – odd numbers will
be automatically rounded up.
•
Destination Address: selects the IP address to transmit to. Any unicast or multicast
address can be entered here, with the exception of the loopback range (127.0.0.0 to
127.255.255.255). The 9223-SA will also accept the broadcast IP address of
255.255.255.255, and will transmit the packets as Ethernet broadcasts. Use of
broadcasts, however, is strongly discouraged.
•
Stream Name: All 9223-SA input and output ports can be assigned a user-defined name.
This name is used to identify the stream later when making connections. Use any
descriptive name suitable for your application, or accept the default.
