To play a unicast stream:

1.Verify that the desired channel is transmitting to a unicast target.

2.On the Desktop of the receiving client, click , Windows Media Player appears.

3.From the menu, select File and then Open URL; the Open URL window appears.

4.Type the URL for the desired unicast stream into the Open field in the Open URL, for example: mms://172.16.100.44/Test0. You can use one of the following three protocols.

•mms:// Uses a UDP network connection (default).

•mmst:// Uses a TCP/IP network connection and ensures packet recovery. This protocol requires very large CPU resources.

•http:// Supports every network infrastructure, but encounters staggering at high traffic.

This URL reflects the following:

•172.16.100.44. IP address of the WMS server. If you did not configure a WMS server, type the respective MGW 2400 unit's IP address. You can use the hostname instead, if your network is DNS enabled and you added the relevant DNS server(s) under DNS Options in the Configuration Utility.

•Test. The WMT Channel's name that you assigned.

•0. Target index (target number). '0' is the number for the first target in the list and '7' for the eighth one.

The URL is displayed on the Unicast Target Parameter page under Host URL, showing the host name instead of the IP address.

5.Click OK; Windows Media Player starts playing the stream.
