Configuring a Multicast Address Pool
The multicast delivery feature is enabled by setting up a multicast address for a live or rebroadcast
program to which different client devices, configured to receive content from the same program, can
subscribe. The delivering device sends content to the multicast address set up at the SE, from which it
becomes available to all subscribed receiving devices.
A set of multicast addresses can be specified either in the Program API or by using the CDSM. When a
program requires a multicast address, you can specify the multicast address within the stream settings
of the program, or you can have the CDSM select one of the addresses from the multicast address pool.
Addresses are allocated for the life of a program.
When you request a specific address or a set of addresses to be used for a program, the CDSM issues
only those addresses that are not used by any existing programs. If no addresses are available from the
pool, or if the multicast pool has not been configured, users receive an error message.
To configure a pool of multicast addresses to be used for programs, do the following:
Step 1 Choose Services > Live Video > Multicast Addresses. The Multicast Addresses page is displayed.
