Setting up Multicast Delivery
TANDBERG CONTENT SERVER ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
Prerequisites
Basic Setup—It Only Needs to Be Done Once
Before you can start delivering your live content as a multicast stream you need to check that:
•Your network is multicast- enabled.
•The IP address under Destination multicast IP address and port is correct and modify it if necessary.
•You have configured a multicast delivery server.
Verify the IP address under Destination multicast IP address.
Select Category Multicast streaming.

Expand the list next to the name of your streaming media server, then expand the list of Publishing Points.
SelectTCSmulticastTemplatethe Publishing Point and click on the Properties tab.
Please note that the Content Server will use the first two octets of the IP address, but it will dynamically assign the last two octets, eg. if an IP address like 10.0.1.1 is specified, TCS may use any addresses in the 10.0 range for multicast streaming. If all your multicast streams originate from a Content Server, you may pick an IP range when you set up your multicast network, and tie it to the TCS.
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
Once you have successfully completed the basic setup, you can use the multicast delivery server you have configured and select it in the Live Media Server Settings section of your templates.
