Preparations (Step 2 Setting the Network)

2-4 Other Settings with V.Networks Setup Tool [6. Multicast]

Selecting [Multicast Mode] allows VN-C10 to send the same image data to multiple recipients on the network at one time without lowering the frame rate.

In a narrowband environment, for example, of dial-up connection, select [Unicast Mode].

Multicast cannot be set for MPEG4.

1. Start up [V.Networks Setup Tool] and select [Multicast]. The [Multicast Setting] screen is displayed.

Select [Multicast Mode].

Enter a multicast address to [Multicast address].

Multicast

A multicast address can be set from 225.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255. Do not set the same multicast address for different devices on the same system.

To view VN-C10 images in the multicast mode through a router, an operating environment or a router setting is required as follows:

1The router supports IGMP Ver. 2 and is synchronized with the starting and stopping of multicast transmission. And the route setting can be dynamically changed.

2If the router does not support IGMP Ver. 2, a static route for multicast must be set to the router.
