Configuring Windows Media Streaming Multicast Station
This multicast-out delivery feature enables you to distribute streaming media by allowing different
devices on the IP multicast to receive a single stream of content from the SE simultaneously. A more
efficient method is to use the live program feature, which organizes the SEs into a delivery distribution
tree, with a Content Acquirer at the root. For more information, see the “Configuring Programs” section
on page 5-26.
To enable Windows Media Streaming for multicast-out, do the following:
Step 1 Choose Devices > Devices > Application Control > Windows Media Streaming > Multicast Station.
The Multicast Station Table page is displayed.
Step 2 Aggregate Settings is set to Yes by default. If this SE belongs to a device group, and the settings have
not been configured using the device group, you can enter the settings and they will apply to the device
group as well.
If the settings are previously configured through the device group, the current configuration is displayed
for view only. New settings must be configured through the associated device group.
If you want to configure settings for this SE only, and override the device group settings on this SE, set
Aggregate Settings to No.
If you remove all device group settings, all device settings displayed with Aggregate Settings enabled
are removed as well.
Note The last configuration submitted for the device, whether it is the device group configuration or
the individual device configuration, is the configuration the device uses.
Step 3 Click Create New in the task bar. The Multicast Station page is displayed.
To edit a multicast station, click the Edit icon next to the station you want to edit.
Step 4 Enter the settings as appropriate. See Table 4-16 for a description of the fields.
