6.4.6 Multicasts — Streams
In this view the operator can define multicasts available to the probe and associate a name with each
multicast address. This name will be used by the probe when referring to the multicast. If no name has
been defined the probe will use the multicast address:port notation.
It is possible to add, delete or edit several entries simultaneously. Several entries are selected by using
the regular Ctrl + click or Shift + click functionality. When adding new entries the current dialogue values
will be used as the template with the values for Name and Address incremented for each.
Note that both multicast and unicast addresses can be entered here.
Distribute ETR engines
button will distribute unused ETR engines among selected streams if no ETR
engine already assigned. An ETR engine is considered used if one or more ETR with that engine is
enabled.
The search field in the upper right corner of the view allows the user to type a text string, and the multicast
list is updated to display only streams matching the specified text.
