Configuration Dialog

Figure 4-8 Digicast Transfer Settings dialog

The Configuration dialog is used to set the transmission parameters for the

commands to be sent out to the Digicast receivers.

• Multicast IP Address – The multicast address to transmit out on. This

address must be the same on the encapsulator and each Digicast receiver.

• Local IP Address – The IP address of the NIC on the computer to route

the commands.

• # Passes – The number of times to send out the command, with each

command being separated by the time specified in the Pause value. The

number of passes is valid with each command except for the Reset (or

reboot) command, which only sends the command once.

• Pause – The number of seconds to delay before transmitting the redundant

command(s). This setting works in conjunction with the # Passes setting.

• Time to Live – The limit on a period of time that the transmission of a unit

of data can experience before it should be discarded.
