Notes
Mesh ID
1 to 255 (8 and
12 Node
systems)
1 to 63 (16
Node, Hi-Rate)
The Mesh ID tells the unit which group it belongs
to. All NETNodes on Mesh ID 60 for example will
communicate with each other.
Note: If you select 16-Node, Hi-Rate as your
operating mode, you can only select between 1 to
63 for your Mesh ID.
Node ID
0 to Max
Number of
Nodes - 1
The Node ID gives the unit a unique ID within the
mesh. Each must have a unique Node ID. The
maximum number of nodes is determined by
operating mode set in the global settings tab.
IP Forward
Select or Clear
If this node is connected to an IP source selecting
the IP Forward check box will make sure this data
is passed around the mesh for access on other units.

Step 7: Configure the Streamer Settings Pane (6)
When you have got the asset to the NETNode, you may wish to stream that information
down a fixed IP link. The streamer pane enables you to configure this easily.
Streaming is the transmission of digital audio or video or the listening and viewing of such
data without first storing it.
In Cobham systems we can carry streams using multicast protocols and these streams can
come from external or internal sources. The internal source (an optional encoder) is enabled
with Stream Enable.

This text box enables you to change the multicast
address used by the unit for internal streaming. The
default value is random to make sure different
NETNodes have different multicast addresses.
