Summary
Through the Multicast function, the packets of video and audio streams can be simultaneously sent to a selected group of recipients on different IP ranges besides those on the same IP range. To perform this function, it is required that the router has the Multicast Pass Through function, and it must be enabled.

Example
This example illustrates the steps to perform the Multicast function on different IP ranges within the same LAN.
