Configuring QuickTime or Darwin Streaming Server

TANDBERG CONTENT SERVER ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE

Live unicast streaming settings

Streaming port range start. Specify the start port for your streaming port range, e.g. 30000. The start port must be an even number. The Content Server will use the streaming start port + 30 to be used for streaming live calls, eg. a port range from 30000 to 30030. Ensure that you select ports that are NOT being used by the Content Server (see the Appendix for a list of ports used by the Content Server).

User Name. Enter the user name to be used for authentication with your streaming server.

Password. Enter the password to be used for authentication with your streaming server.

Password Confirm. Enter the password again to confirm.

Live Unicast Streaming Settings

Live URLs

Use default live URLs. Choose this option to use the default live URL for this media server.

Use alternate live URLs. Choose this option to supply your own URLs for live streaming. Enter the URLs for Main and Dual video streams and choose whether you wish the filename (in this case the sdp filename) to be appended to the alternate URL.

Live multicast streaming settings

Multicast IP Address. Enter a destination multicast address. The range of allowable IP Addresses is from 224.0.0.1 to 239.255.255.255. The multicast address will depend on the configuration of the network.

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 and must be an even number.

Live Multicast Streaming Settings

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 default threshold is LAN (TTL=32). 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 WAN (64), Internet (128), Unrestricted (255) depends on the configuration of the network
