2.3 Operation of Multicast for 1:N A/V Transmission

Beam TX can be configured to stream a single multicast stream over a LAN for decoding at multiple BEAM RX units. This section

describes the necessary configuration.

Beam TX configuration via Web UI

1. Ensure that the Beam TX is set to Ethernet LAN mode via

the front panel.

2. Open your browser to the Beam TX web configuration

interface and navigate to the Streaming Control page.

3. Select Multicast for the streaming mode and click Submit.

4. You can specify any valid multicast group IP address within

the range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. The default value is

227.2.2.7.

Beam RX configuration via Web UI

1. Ensure that each Beam RX to be used is set to Ethernet

LAN mode via the front panel.

2. Open your browser to the Beam RX web configuration

interface and navigate to the Streaming Control page.

3. Select Multicast for the streaming mode and click Submit.

4. Configure the Group IP (multicast) value to match the

value set at your Beam TX.

NOTE: Multicast streaming requires properly configured multicast-capable networking equipment. Failure to configure your network

infrastructure correctly may cause the encoder’s stream traffic to broadcast over the entire network.

2.4 Connecting to Beam TX’s WiFi Network

Computers and tablets can connect directly to the Beam TX WiFi network, if active. Connected devices can preview the video and

access Beam’s configuration interface.

Depending on Which WiFi channel is selected, Beam’s WiFi SSID will be advertised as TeradekBeam_xx, where xx is a two digit

number. The default SSID is TeradekBeam_00 and SSIDs range from 00 to 11. The current SSID can be seen on Beam’s front panel

display.

After finding Beam’s network with your WiFi utility, you will need to enter a WPA password. The password is xyj<SSID>, where <SSID>

is the current SSID. This value cannot be modified.
