SpeedTouch 5x6/585/780WL - Multicast Setup

Aim of this article:

This article describes how to configure the SpeedTouch 5x6/585/780WL for Multicast access.

Configuration

You will first need to open a terminal or command prompt window.

Mac OS X:
From Go choose Utilities and Terminal.

Windows 2k/XP:
From the Start Menu choose Run, type cmd and click OK.

Setup for Mac OS X & Windows 2k/XP

At the prompt type

telnet 10.0.0.138

Enter Administrator as the username and press Return/Enter.

You will now see the following prompt:

{Administrator}=>:

Type the following lines of code after the prompt, pressing return/enter after each line.

{Administrator}=>:igmp proxy config state=enabled
{Administrator}=>:igmp proxy ifconfig intf=Internet state=upstream 
{Administrator}=>:igmp proxy ifconfig intf=LocalNetwork state=downstream version=IGMPv2 fastleave=disabled
{Administrator}=>:saveall

You may now close the window and the IGMP Proxy will be enabled on your SpeedTouch. Wait a few minutes to allow your Router to pick up the correct settings from our network. You should now be able to access the BBC Multicast streams.

As Multicast is still under trial you may find that certain streams have problems. Please test using all three types, Realplayer 10, MediaPlayer 9 and H.264 (QuickTime 7).

The BBC multicast service is a trial and as such Technical Support are unable to provide assistance with hardware configuration and setup. In all instances you should visit your hardware manufacturer's Web site or post on Zen forum for help with Multicast setup.
