b - Multicast Address
This menu option allows the user to add the L-IP into a multi-cast group for the IP-852
channel. Enter the channel’s IP multi-cast address here. On how to obtain a valid multi-cast
address please contact your system administrator. To learn when it is beneficial to use
multi-cast addresses in your channel please refer to Section 7.4.
5.8 CEA-852 Server Configuration Menu
This menu holds relevant information regarding the configuration of the CEA-852
configuration server.
If the built-in configuration server is used to manage the devices on the IP-852 channel, all
CEA-852 devices on the IP-852 channel must be entered in the device list of the server. The
CEA-852 devices themselves then only need to have a unique IP address, device name, and
if operated behind a NAT router the NAT address assigned. The configuration server will
contact all devices in the device list and update the relevant information in the client
devices. The server configuration menu is shown in Figure 37. The device name can also be
set by the configuration server.
