Configuring Windows Media Streaming Server
Select
Support Live Multicast Streaming
create your multicast Media Server (the other
options will become unavailable).
Windows Media multicast streaming is only
available from the Content Server, therefore
the Server Address is set to (local) and the
option is greyed out in the interface.
Server Push Port.
The default port for the local
Content Server's Windows Media streaming
server is 8080.
Create new using settings from existing.
Choose
this option if you want the Content Server to
create new publishing points using the settings
from existing publishing points. Enter the
existing
Publishing Points
for your
Main
and
video streams (they can be the same in both
fields). The default multicast enabled publishing
point on the TANDBERG Content Server is
TCSmulticastTemplate.
Multicast IP Address.
Enter a destination
multicast address. The Content Server will
stream to this IP address. The range of
allowable IP Addresses is from 224.0.0.1 to
239.255.255.255. The multicast address you
need to enter will depend on the configuration
of your network.
If you do not enter a Multicast IP address, the
Content Server will use the first two octets
of the IP address specified in the Destination
multicast IP address of the WMS Multicast Data
Writer properties of the multicast publishing
point, but it will dynamically assign the last
two octets, eg. if an IP address like 10.0.1.1 is
specified at the publishing point, the Content
Server may use any addresses in the 10.0
range for multicast streaming.

number for the start of the live streaming port
range. The port range must be from 10000 to
65000.
TTL.
Choose the multicast time to live (TTL)
threshold. The "multicast TTL" tells the network
how far multicast packets should be allowed to
travel across the network. The value "Subnet"
(i.e. TTL=1) means that packets do not pass
the first network router. This setting should
mean a multicast stream is viewable on any
network, even those not enabled for multicast,
where the client is on the same subnet as
the Content Server. The efficacy of higher
values: LAN (TTL=32), WAN (64), Internet
(128), Unrestricted (255) depends on the
configuration of the network.
Use existing.
Choose this option if you have set up
publishing points on your streaming server. Enter

publishing points to stream one video stream
off each, if you are using a Two Videos layout. If
you are using Switching, Joined or PIP layouts,
you need to specify only one publishing point, for
