Configuring Windows Media Streaming Server
Before you can start delivering your live content
as a multicast stream on a fixed IP address you
need to:
1.
Configure a multicast delivery server.
2.
Specify the Advanced Live Multicast
Settings.
Once you have done that, you must add the
multicast delivery server to your template in
order to start using it.

Multicast IP Address.
Enter a destination
multicast address. The range of allowable
IP Addresses is from 224.0.0.1 to
239.255.255.255. The multicast address will
depend on the configuration of the network.
Streaming port range start.
Enter a port
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 default
threshold is LAN (TTL=32). 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
WAN (64), Internet (128), Unrestricted (255)
depends on the configuration of the network
