Configuration/Multicast Access Control

A multicast control list defines which multicast addresses the remote-end video can access. A multicast control list entry of 0 enables subscriptions up to the number of maximum video streams on the interface without control list checking. You can configure video streams on Ethernet and GPON interfaces.

Multicast Access Control

Control ID Multicast control ID.
Precedence The relative order of the multicast entry.
Precedence Increment In bulk mode provisioning, this value is the difference between precedence of the current and the next entry.
Group Address Start The beginning of the address range.

Requests to join a group will only be accepted if the group address is available in the multicast control list listed in the IP interface.

Group Address End An optional object that determines the outer address range. If addresses are set to 10.10.10.1 and 10.10.10.20, 20 entries will be created by incrementing the address value by 1.

A maximum of 50 entries may be created at a time.

Control List Type Defines the video stream type.

normal: Join and leave when desired. Used for video.

always-on: Always joined. Meant for EBS, not video.

periodic: Will join and leave after task complete. Not meant for video. Used to download the tv guide.

Default: normal
