The Solwise SAR110 and Voyager 205 allows you to receive Multicast
streaming content.
At the present time the BBC are doing multicast trials and more
information can be found at http://www.bbc.co.uk/multicast/channels.shtml
and a list of multicast trial streams can be found here.
To configure the SAR110/Voyager 205 to receive multicast you
need to manually configure the router to allow IGMP, which can
be done by telnetting into the CLI.
Details on how to telnet to the SAR110 can be found here.-
by using telnet 192.168.7.1
For the Voyager 205 use telnet
192.168.1.1
From the command prompt
To create IGMP interfaces type:-
create igmp intf ifname eth-0 router version
igmpv2 lmqinterval 1 robust 5 qinterval 60
create igmp intf ifname ppp-0 host version igmpv2
To get list of current multicast group membership type:
get igmp groups
To commit the changes type:-
commit
To delete IGMP interfaces type:-
delete igmp intf ifname eth-0
delete igmp intf ifname ppp-0
One other useful command that will show you all the igmp interfaces
is :-
$get igmp intf
Output:-
$get igmp intf
