5 In the Target Transmitter Unit Settings section, you need to enter the System port and Teaming
port IP addresses for the TX unit that will be supplying the video, audio, USB and serial data
streams. This section allows you to determine which peripherals should use the second link.
Most often all streams are supplied by the same TX unit, so common System and Teaming port
addresses can be applied to all streams. However, it is possible to receive them from different
locations, in which case, click the blue arrow to reveal the separate video, audio, USB and serial
addresses. For all five peripherals, the System port of the targeted TX unit is always used to
carry the respective data streams; your choices involve which of those five should also use
the secondary Teaming port
link to spread the load(s). For
each peripheral, the first IP
address is that of the targeted
TX unit's System port. IP
Address 2 corresponds to
the Teaming port and is used
only when the checkbox
above is ticked. The default
settings for all entries are the
standard IP addresses that
are factory set within every
TX unit (169.254.1.33 and
169.254.1.43). Change these to
the appropriate addresses on
your transmitter(s) and click
the Update Now button to
save and activate them.
6 For installations that will
include more than one RX
unit, for either video or audio
or both, then you need to
configure the Multicast Settings
section.
The two Video and the single Audio Multicast sub-sections are configured in exactly
the same way:
• First, tick the Enable Multicast Video / Enable Multicast Audio check box.
• Next, enter appropriate Multicast Addresses for the System port Video/
Audio data stream(s). The set of IP addresses between 224.0.0.0 and
239.255.255.255 are specifically reserved for multicast operations. Within
a private enterprise network, you merely need to choose a location that is
currently unused. However, if your link will pass through public networks,
then attention must be given to finding an address within these limits that is
not already reserved for special use. The IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority) website: iana.org provides a list of publicly reserved addresses.
• Next, enter appropriate Multicast Address 2 entries for the Teaming port
Video/Audio data stream(s).
The video and audio multicast addresses must be different, as must the
System and Teaming ports The addresses that you enter will be used by the
RX unit to 'listen-in' on the video and audio data streams output by the TX
unit. The same IP addresses need to be set on every RX unit that will similarly
receive the video and audio data streams.
7 Click the Update Now button to save.
Repeat the IP addressing and multicast configuration steps for all RX units that
will be part of the one-to-many installation.
For most installations, the successful implementation of these configuration steps
will result in a correctly working system.
