All  connecons are outgoing connecons. A Mulcast Sender must iniate an outgoing stream, and a
Mulcast Receiver must iniate an incoming one. These remotes are congured within a special address range
known as a Mulcast Block, typicallyto . To establish a Mulcast connecon, simply
dene a remote as having an address within the IP Mulcast Block, use an IP Mulcast prole, and press .

Time-to-Live (TTL) is a variable set by Mulcast encoders to determine how long a packet is processed before
it is dropped by the network. The default value of TTL in BRIC-Link II is 0, which limits its use to within a LAN
environment. TTL may be manually changed on a remote by conguring the IP address
followed by a “/”, followed by the TTL value. An example remote Mulcast encoder could be set for the address
224.0.2.4/255, which would signify an address with the Mulcast Block with a TTL of 255 (which is the max value
available).

The default port of UDP 9000 may also be changed on Mulcast remotes. The port number is assigned in the
standard socket format, directly aer the IP address, preceded by “:”, followed by the TTL. As an example, the IP
address of a Mulcast Sender on port 443 with a TTL of 100 would read: .
