Configure The Multicast Parameters - CyberData 011123 Series Operation Manual

2.3.9 Configure the Multicast Parameters

Multicast groups use multicasting to create public address paging zones. Multicasting is based on
the concept of a group. Multicast addresses specify an arbitrary group of IP hosts that have joined
the group and want to receive traffic sent to the group. Group members send IGMP messages to
their local multicast routers, allowing the group traffic traversal from the source.
Multicast configuration provides the ability to join up to 10 paging zones. A paging zone can consist
of one, or many, CyberData multicast group-enabled devices. There is no limit to how many devices
can be in a given paging zone. Each multicast group is defined by a multicast address and port
number. Each multicast group is also assigned a priority, allowing simultaneously arriving pages to
be serviced based on importance. Multicast groups are compatible with IGMP through version 3.
The Intercom supports simultaneous SIP and Multicast.
