MAC address is a ‘0’. For example, 0x00 11 22 33 44 55 is a Unicast address. Unicast is supported by the CMR-5995 as it would be in any routed network. Packets received by the CMR-5995 are routed to the Ethernet if they meet the subnet criteria or the CMR-5995 is configured to route non-local packets to a default gateway.
Digicast Media Router S2 Receiver CMR-5995 (MR-S2-ASI) Revision 1 IP Routing Support MN-CMR5995-IOM B.2.2 Multicast Routing Multicast routing provides point-to-multipoint delivery of IP datagrams. Routes for multicast IP packets are configured according to the following: • IP Addresses, which fall into class D (224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255) •...
Digicast Media Router S2 Receiver CMR-5995 (MR-S2-ASI) Revision 1 IP Routing Support MN-CMR5995-IOM Section Packing Section packing (Figure B-2) is a technique that provides more optimal utilization of the MPEG-2 transport stream (TS) packet structure. When section packing is not used, each TS packet (containing the MPE section) can carry no more than a single section.
This section illustrates how a system logger can be set up on a Linux or Unix system , allowing the CMR-5995 to report system events to a logger attached via an Ethernet connection. Enabling a System Logger To enable system logging, add the following command string to the bottom of the /etc/syslog.conf file on the Logging Server:...
