5.2.2.1 Multicast
The Network Wide Setup page is also used to configure up to 5 multicast streams. By default, all
multicast/broadcast flows will be sent to all radios. This configuration is only necessary if a user
wishes to send multicast streams to a subset of radios on the network. The configuration string
format is as follows:
Multicast_ip_address, receiver_id1, receiver_id2, … , receiver_idN
Multicast_ip_address is the multicast group address and receiver_idN are the node ids of the
radios that need to receive the multicast stream. If no receivers are indicated, multicast will be
sent to all radios. If there is only one receiver id = -1, the multicast stream will not be put on the
air and discarded at the transmitter. This allows a quick way for the user to turn off a multicast
stream from anywhere on the network.
Some Multicast examples:
Data for multicast group 224.50.50.51 will be received only by radios with node-ids 1131
and 1261:
224.50.50.51, 1131, 1261
Data for multicast group 224.50.50.51 will be received by all radios:
224.50.50.51,
Data for multicast group 224.50.50.51 will be discarded at the transmitter and not put on
the air:
224.50.50.51, -1
