Field Description
Streamer BMS Settings
Stream Master IP This field defines the master IP address of the Stream Service, which is the same for all Streamers
in a VHO, and is used in the creation of the Interoperable Object References (IORs) for stream
objects.
The Streamer designated as the master Stream Service (determined by a negotiating algorithm) sends
multicast heartbeat messages every second to the other Streamers in the VHO. If the heartbeat
message has not been received for more than five seconds, another Streamer in the VHO takes over
as master Stream Service.
To edit the Stream Master IP address, see the “Configuring the Control and Setup IPs” section on
page 4-72.
Stream Master Port Port used by the master Stream Service for controlling streams. The Stream Service Master Port is
the same for all Streamers in a VHO. The default is 3300.
Headend ID This value is passed to the OpenStream system as part of the resource negotiation. The default is
0.0.0.0.
Stream Source Config This field determines the source IP address that is included in the session setup header. This field has
the following possible values:
• Control IP—The IP address of the Control server (see the “Configuring the Control and Setup
IPs” section on page 4-72).
• Default Stream Source IP—The default source IP address from the Server Setup page (see the
“Configuring the Servers” section on page 4-112).
• Stream Interface IP—The IP address of the interface that was used to stream the content (see the
“Configuring the Servers” section on page 4-112).
• None—Do not include the source IP address in the session setup header.
Streaming Mode Mode expected by the next device in the network. The streaming mode determines the required
configuration for the headend setup (see the “Configuring the Headend Setup” section on page 4-9
and the “Configuring QAM Gateways” section on page 4-4 for more information).
MSA Support Enabling Managed Services Architecture (MSA) routes successful events to the ISA event channels
and error events to either the Event Posting Agent (EPA) or the Event Log Agent (ELA).
Events consist of three basic groups: subsystem-component state, faults, and measurement points.
State and faults allow a monitoring tool to verify the current health of the system, while measurement
points allow a monitoring tool to view the transactional state of the system and determine how it is
performing.
