Configuring Windows Media Streaming Server

TANDBERG CONTENT SERVER ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE

Select Support Live Multicast Streaming to create your multicast Media Server (the other options will become unavailable).

Windows Media multicast streaming is only available from the Content Server, therefore the Server Address is set to (local) and the option is greyed out in the interface.

Server Push Port. The default port for the local Content Server’s Windows Media streaming server is 8080.

Create new using settings from existing. Choose this option if you want the Content Server to create new publishing points using the settings from existing publishing points. Enter the existing Publishing Points for your Main and Dual video streams (they can be the same in both fields). The default multicast enabled publishing point on the TANDBERG Content Server is TCSmulticastTemplate.

Multicast IP Address. Enter a destination multicast address. The Content Server will stream to this IP address. The range of allowable IP Addresses is from 224.0.0.1 to 239.255.255.255. The multicast address you need to enter will depend on the configuration of your network.

If you do not enter a Multicast IP address, the Content Server will use the first two octets of the IP address specified in the Destination multicast IP address of the WMS Multicast Data Writer properties of the multicast publishing point, but it will dynamically assign the last two octets, eg. if an IP address like 10.0.1.1 is specified at the publishing point, the Content Server may use any addresses in the 10.0 range for multicast streaming.

Live Multicast Streaming Settings

Streaming port range start. Enter a port number for the start of the live streaming port range. The port range must be from 10000 to 65000.

TTL. Choose the multicast time to live (TTL) threshold. The “multicast TTL” tells the network how far multicast packets should be allowed to travel across the network. The value “Subnet” (i.e. TTL=1) means that packets do not pass the first network router. This setting should mean a multicast stream is viewable on any network, even those not enabled for multicast, where the client is on the same subnet as the Content Server. The efficacy of higher values: LAN (TTL=32), WAN (64), Internet (128), Unrestricted (255) depends on the configuration of the network.

Use existing. Choose this option if you have set up publishing points on your streaming server. Enter the existing Publishing Points for your Main and Dual video streams. There must be two different publishing points to stream one video stream

off each, if you are using a Two Videos layout. If you are using Switching, Joined or PIP layouts, you need to specify only one publishing point, for Main.

Live URLs. Only the default URLs are available, therefore (http://(local)/tcs/data) is set in in Main and Dual fields, Append filename to URL is selected and those options are greyed out in the interface.
