Multicast - Bosch MIC IP PSU User Manual

MIC Series IP Power Supply
TCP port
The device can receive data from an external TCP sender, for example an ATM or POS device,
and store it as metadata. Select the port for TCP communication. Select Off to deactivate the
TCP metadata function.
Sender IP address
Enter the IP address of the TCP metadata sender here.
Quality of Service
The encoder offers Quality of Service (QoS) configuration options to ensure fast network
response to PTZ data and images. Quality of Service (QoS) is the set of techniques to manage
network resources. QoS manages the delay, delay variation (jitter), bandwidth, and packet
loss parameters to guarantee the ability of a network to deliver predictable results. QoS
identifies the type of data in a data packet and divides the packets into traffic classes that can
be prioritized for forwarding.
Consult with your network administrator for assistance configuring the Video, Control, and
the Alarm Video settings.
Post-alarm time
The length of time post-alarm. Options range from 0s to 3h.

Multicast

In addition to a 1:1 connection between an encoder and a single receiver (unicast), the
encoder can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal from an encoder
simultaneously. The device either duplicates the data stream itself and then distributes it to
multiple receivers (Multi-unicast) or it sends a single data stream to the network, where the
data stream is simultaneously distributed to multiple receivers in a defined group (Multicast).
You can enter a dedicated multicast address and port for each stream. You can switch
between the streams by clicking the appropriate tabs.
NOTICE!
Multicast operation requires a multicast-enabled network that uses the UDP and the Internet
Group Management IGMP protocols. Other group management protocols are not supported.
The TCP protocol does not support multicast connections.
A special IP address (class D address) must be configured for multicast operation in a
multicast-enabled network.
The network must support group IP addresses and the Internet Group Management Protocol
(IGMP V2). The address range is from 225.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
