Viewing and changing GhostCast Server session options

In the Options dialog box you can specify session parameters.

You can specify a range of multicast addresses. Addresses in the following range are valid: 224.0.2.0-239.255.255.255. To specify an exact address, set the end address to the same as the start address. By setting a wide range of addresses, you can limit the chance of conflict if you run two or more GhostCast operations simultaneously. This option should be used by advanced users only.

To view or record GhostCast Server options

  1. On the File menu, click Options.

  2. If you want to use a specified multicast address range, click Use Specified Multicast Address Range, then type the multicast From and To addresses.

  3. Click Multicast Scope TTL to set the time to live.

    This limits how far the data passes through a network. Time to live is decremented by every router through which the data packet passes.

  4. Select one of the following:

    Restart On Completion

    Restart the GhostCast Server, accepting clients and using the same Auto Start parameters.

    Close GhostCast Server On Completion

    Close Symantec GhostCast Server once the session is complete.

  5. Click Log clients to create a log that lists GhostCasting session details, including when a session took place, the computers involved, and whether the session was successful.

    The log is saved to the path specified.

  6. In the Log Level box, select a log level to set a level of diagnostic GhostCast logging.

  7. In the Log File box, type a destination log file location.
