Using a Proxy
Multicast streaming transmissions require an appropriate network configuration, with limitations
imposed by the presence of any Firewall or Proxy.
To offer good protection, these must block IP packets directed to unknown ports, such as the UDP
ports used for audio and video streams. If the stream has to pass through such equipment, the
equipment must be configured for any eventual multicast and have the appropriate ports enabled for
streaming. If the stream is sent over an internal network, problems can still arise if it is necessary to
pass through a firewall in order to gain external access.
Deactivate Streaming
In order to stop streaming, go to the “Deactivate” key on the streaming configuration page and press
OK, or simply close the browser.
PPPoE
(Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)
PPPoE is used to allow Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to use their existing Radius (

)
authentication systems from dialup services on broadband/Ethernet-based services.
“Automatic IP address”: If selected, an automatic IP address will be assigned.
• IP address: Enter static IP address provided by the ISP
• Subnet Mask: Enter subnet mask provided by the ISP.
• DNS Server IP address: Enter DNS server address provided by the ISP.
“Advanced”.
This section contains configuration parameters, assigned by the ISP.
Once “PPPoE active” is selected, enter following data:
• User name: user name assigned by the ISP.
• Password: password assigned by the ISP.
• Server name: ISP server name.
• Service Name: Default (field empty).
Alpha numeric string for remote control of equipment connected with PPPoE server (ex.
modem).
• Connection mode: Two different WAN connection modes are available:
• Always connected
• On call
“Bandwidth”.
By selecting the “BANDWIDTH” icon, it is possible to enable and set maximum bandwidth usage
limits (in Kbps). These limits can be different in transmission and reception, a very useful function
for ADSL networks.
On the PPPoE configuration page there is a PPPoE status LED:
White: service not enabled
Red: service enabled, but not active
Green: service enabled and active
Enable network
It is possible to enable/disable any calling protocol.
Once explicitly disabled, a protocol will no longer appear in the “combo-box” for call selection. An
incoming call will be always accepted, even if the incoming protocol is disabled.
