However, depending on network configuration, it may be convenient to

forward multicast traffic from one Mesh Point unit to another Mesh Point

unit, to allow such tasks as remote recording of the video data flow.

By default, units operating in Mesh End mode do not forward multicast

traffic to a wireless network. The only exceptions to this rule are universal

plug and play (UPnP) and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)

traffic.

To redirect traffic flow to a Mesh Point unit, all multicast flow redirection

information must be specified using the Multicast settings on a Mesh End

unit.

NOTE

To change the unit's Multicast settings, make sure that the unit

is in Mesh End mode as shown in “Changing the operational

mode” (page 66). Multicast controls are not available if the unit

is set to Mesh Point mode.

To set multicast rules on a Mesh End unit, do the following steps:

1. Find the Mesh End unit in the wireless network that is most

suitable for forwarding multicast traffic.

NOTE

Multicast flow redirection information can only be

specified from a Mesh End unit. The Mesh End unit

will distribute the multicast data to all other Fluidmesh

devices in the wireless network.

2. Connect to the Mesh End unit as shown in “Accessing

the Fluidmesh 4200 FIBER for device configuration” (page 52).

3. Click the -multicast link under ADVANCED SETTINGS in the

left-hand settings menu.

• The MULTICAST dialog will be shown (Figure 54 (page

109)).
