and the IP address base is 239.192.0.0. With these default bases, the range of network ports is UDP
31820 to 31827 , and the range of IP addresses is 239.192.x.x to 239.195.x.x. Grass Valley
recommends that you use these default settings. However, if necessary for your site's network
policies, you can also change the K2 system's default settings. You can configure the port base and
the IP address base. Only IP addresses specified by IANA for multicast are allowed. Do not attempt
to edit the

*.sdp

files, as the K2 system generates them automatically whenever the system is

restarted. If you change the IP address of the K2 system, you must restart in order to update the IP
address in the

*.sdp

file.

The K2 Summit system hosts a simple web server over which it delivers the live stream via HTTP.
For test purposes, you can access the live stream by entering a URL of the following convention in
a standard web browser:

http://<httpservername>/live/<k2systemname>_<Cn>.sdp

For example, to view the live stream from channel four on a K2 system named Summit01, the URL
is

http://Summit01/live/Summit01_C4.sdp

. The http server name is the same as the name

of the K2 system.
