Configuring Windows Media Streaming Server

TANDBERG CONTENT SERVER ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE

Before you can start delivering your live content as a multicast stream on a fixed IP address you need to:

1.Configure a multicast delivery server.

2.Specify the Advanced Live Multicast Settings.

Once you have done that, you must add the multicast delivery server to your template in order to start using it.

Live Multicast Streaming Settings (streaming on a fixed IP address)

Configure a multicast delivery server

Go to Administrator Settings > Media Servers to add a Windows Media Streaming Server and configure it as follows:

Enter a descriptive name for the server

Enter ‘(local)’ in the Address field

Select Support Live Streaming

Select Server push

Enter 8080 in the Port field

Publishing Points: Select Create new using settings from existing and enter TCSmulticastTemplate in the Main and Dual fields

Live URLs:

Select Use alternate live URLs and enter http://(local)/tcs/data in the Main and Dual fields.

Select the checkboxes to have file names appended to the URL

Specify the Advanced Live Multicast 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.

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
