Configuring Windows Media Streaming Multicast Station Schedule
To configure the Windows Media Streaming Multicast Station Schedule, do the following:
Step 1 Choose Devices > Devices > Application Control > Windows Media Streaming > Multicast Station
Schedules. The Windows Media Streaming Multicast Station Schedule 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 the Create New icon in the task bar. The Windows Media Streaming Multicast Station Schedule
page is displayed.
To edit a Multicast Station Schedule, click the Edit icon next to the station you want to edit.
Step 4 From the Station Name drop-down list, choose a multicast station.
Step 5 In the Month field, enter the month (1–12) during which you want the schedule to start.
Step 6 In the Day field, enter the day (1–31) on which you want the schedule to start.
Step 7 In the Hour field, enter hour (0–23) that you want the schedule to start.
Step 8 In the Minute field, enter the minute (0–59) that you want the schedule to start.
Step 9 Click Submit to save the settings.
Configuring Windows Media Streaming—Broadcast Alias
The broadcast alias feature enables you to deliver an incoming stream live to requesting clients using
multicast or unicast as the source of the streaming media. In this scenario, a unicast-out publishing point
is created to deliver the incoming stream live to requesting clients. 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 unicast-out by using a broadcast alias, do the following:
Step 1 Choose Devices > Devices > Application Control > Windows Media Streaming > Broadcast Alias.
The Broadcast Alias 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.
