Streaming Video Basics
Host Names has an Address Mode parameter. This configuration parameter allows the user to specify how the address is to be configured: IP Address or Host Name. If Address Mode is set to "Host Name," the IP address field becomes a status field and is used to report the IP Address of the configured Host Name. Likewise, if Address Mode is set for "IP Address," the Host Name field is used to report the Host Name of the configured IP Address. If the configured IP address is multicast, the Host Name field will be blank. The following rules apply:
•The following addresses can be configured using Host Names: Encoder network destination address
Pump network destination address Decoder network receive address Recorder network receive address Passthrough dedicated address
•Multicast addresses cannot be configured using Host Names.
•The Management SAP Transmit parameter of the referenced VBrick has to be set to Enabled for this feature to work.
•The Host Name feature does not work if the appliance is in edit mode. Please exit Edit mode when finished configuring the appliance.
