Multicast

Multicast can be used when "one-to-many" communication is required.

Multicast Address List:

To add an address to the Multicast Address List:
Select the "Add" radio button and type in the dialog box the new address to be added to the read-only "Address List". The window will expand downward as needed to show all addresses in the list. Note that only the valid multicast addresses will be accepted and displayed.

To delete an address from the Multicast Address List:
Select the "Delete" radio button and type in the dialog box the address to be deleted from the "Address List".
When an IP packet is received on the Ethernet side of the unit and the destination IP address matches one of the multicast IP addresses in this list, it is forwarded over the RF interface.
Remote units will send it over their Ethernet interface.
