Server streaming set up mode
Q.What is the meaning of PCM?
A. PCM is Raw Audio (Not Compressed) it uses more bandwidth.
Definition:
Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is a method used to digitally represent sampled analog
signals. It is the standard form of digital audio in computers, Compact Discs, digital telephony and
other digital audio applications. In a PCM stream, the amplitude of the analog signal is sampled
regularly at uniform intervals, and each sample is quantized to the nearest value within a range of
digital steps.
Q. What is Unicast/Multi-cast
A. Unicast/Multi-cast selection only applies to PCM only
(1) Uni-cast is one to one Bi-directional One server to max 20 clients. LAN/WAN
(2) Multi-cast is one to N. One direction only LAN ( No Routing)
If you use C class, IP adress Strategy, 254 clients are possible.
Ex.: SUB NET 255.255.255.0 ( 254 possible IP adress)
With Advanced router configuration it is possible to have more clients.
Unicast Definition: Unicast
Unicast is the term used to describe communication where a piece of information is sent from one
point to another point. In this case there is just one sender, and one receiver.
Unicast transmission, in which a packet is sent from a single source to a specified destination, is
still the predominant form of transmission on LANs and within the Internet. All LANs (e.g. Ethernet)
and IP networks support the unicast transfer mode, and most users are familiar with the standard
unicast applications (e.g. http, smtp, ftp and telnet) which employ the TCP transport protocol.
Broadcast Definition:
Broadcast is the term used to describe communication where a piece of information is sent from
one point to all other points. In this case there is just one sender, but the information is sent to all
connected receivers.
Broadcast transmission is supported on most LANs (e.g. Ethernet), and may be used to send the
same message to all computers on the LAN (e.g. the address resolution protocol (arp) uses this to
send an address resolution query to all computers on a LAN). Network layer protocols (such as
IPv4) also support a form of broadcast that allows the same packet to be sent to every system in a
logical network (in IPv4 this consists of the IP network ID and an all 1's host number).
Multicast Definition:
Multicast is the term used to describe communication where a piece of information is sent from one
or more points to a set of other points. In this case there is may be one or more senders, and the
information is distributed to a set of receivers (theer may be no receivers, or any other number of
receivers).
