Multicast Address List:

To add an address to the Multicast Address List:
Select Add and type the new address to be added to the read-only "Address List". The window will expand downward as needed to show all addresses in the list. Note that only the valid multicast addresses will be accepted and displayed. Valid range of Multicast IP addresses is 224.0.0.1 to 239.255.255.255.

To delete an address from the Multicast Address List:
Select Delete and type the address to be deleted from the "Address List".
When an IP packet is received on the Ethernet side of the unit and the destination IP address matches one of the multicast IP addresses in this list, it is forwarded over the RF interface.
Remote units will send it over their Ethernet interface.
