MTU Size The maximum transmission unit (MTU) specifies the maximum packet size for transfer on
the network. The default value is 1500, which is the largest value allowed by Ethernet at the
network layer. It’s best if all nodes in your network use the same value, so only change this
value if you know other nodes use a different value.
Tether to a Mobile Network
The VGADVI Recorder supports tethering to a mobile device via USB. This can work side-by-side with Ethernet
routing where one can be a back-up system for the other.
When the system falls over to the backup network type (i.e. from Ethernet to mobile, or vice versa)
all streaming sessions are closed and the clients will need to reconnect. You may need to provide a
new stream URL (containing the new IP address) to your viewers. See the channel information page
to get the new stream URL.
All actively published streams are closed and reconnected via the mobile network automatically
(assuming the required publishing server is accessible from the mobile network).
To configure tethering to a mobile network:
1. Configure the mobile device to allow tethering via USB.
2. Connect the mobile device to the VGADVI Recorder with a USB cable.
3. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See Connect to the Admin
Interface .
