How do I configure scalable multicasting on Helix Server

Original address in here , I translate it into Chinese for easy viewing.


Helix Server mode via the web management tool is configured to use scalable multicast, this document only concerned with scalable multicast configuration. About Helix
Server features full details can be found in the management of the wizard. Helix Server Management Wizard: (Chapter 8, multicasting) http://www.realnetworks.com/support/docs.html 1 Open the Helix Server web management interface. 2 Click the radio distribution, scalable multicast. 3 The default mount point is / scalable /. RealNetworks recommends you use the default value, but you can change it.

4 To create a new channel, click the "+" icon, then "Edit Channel Description" text box for the multicast connection Enter a name.

5 In the "Enable Channel" drop-down box, select "Yes" to enable scalable multicast.

6 In the "Enable SAP" drop-down box, select "Yes" to publish the multicast connection.

7 in the "path" text box, add the stream to be broadcast publishing the name. If you want to use all of the broadcast stream, then leave the default asterisk (*).

8 Next, define the scalable multicast address and port number to use.

a. In the "Port Range" text box, enter the port number to use. (Frog Note: This port has an abnormal demand, is to begin to even port, and the scope to include an even number of ports, such as 5000-5003.)

b. In the "IP Address Range", enter the address to use. Helix Server uses this address range in the first available address. If you use a single address instead of an address range, in both the text box, enter the same address.

9 In the "survival time" text box, that multicast packets can be sent in your network far. (Note: original writing on so, TTL by 1 each had a router, to zero the packet is discarded.)

10 Enter a timeout, this time represents a client to stop waiting for multicast packets before or after the URL using the alternate time (in seconds).

11 In the "re-use the address", if you want to in a video stream in each using a separate address, then choose "no." If you want to use in the two streams in an address, then select "Yes."

12 The next option is to choose whether to receive multicast packets into unicast player. This feature is only used when an effective player from RealNetworks.

a. In the "Convert to unicast" list box, if you do not want the client into unicast, then choose "no." When playing a high bit-rate program should select "No", because a large number of unicast streams will consume too much bandwidth. If you select "No", you can ignore the next text box.

b. To the same Helix Server backup unicast effective manipulation to maintain "the turn of the unicast address" text box is empty. If you want to convert to another unicast on Helix Server, you need to fill in the address of that server and path. Here is an example:

rtsp: / / helixserver.example2.com/broadcast/vivaldi.rm

If you do not want to turn the player turned into a stream, they can also point to a web page to output information, such as "This program only supports unicast RealPlayer effective." In the "alternate unicast address" text box, Enter your web page's URL, such as the following:

http://www.example.com/no_multicast.html

13 (Optional) The next option is to control whether or not to the client statistics to Helix Server, Web server or not recorded.

14 Click Apply.

Helix Server is configured to use a scalable multicast.

Scalable multicast connection has the following form:

http://address:port/mount_point/path/file.rm.sdp
