ConferenceXP Reflector Service 1.3 Installation Guide

To run ConferenceXP Reflector Service 1.3, you’ll need the following hardware and software:

• 3.0 GHz Intel Pentium 4 with 512 MB RAM, or better (recommended)
• Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Server 2003
  
  Note  Because ConferenceXP and Reflector use the same IP Address and Port for unicast, we recommend you run Reflector on a separate computer. If you install ConferenceXP Client and Reflector on the same computer, you will be unable to perform any client operations that involve unicast, such as playing back an archive outside of a venue, opening a two-way connection, or using Reflector to enable a ConferenceXP client in a unicast-only network.

Installing Reflector Service

After you make sure you have the required hardware and software, you’re ready to install Reflector Service 1.3.

3. Locate the following key:
   
   <add key="MSR.LST.Reflector.MultipleInterfaceSupport" value="false"/>
    
4. Do one of the following:
   • To enable multiple network interface cards support, change the value to true.
   • To disable multiple network interface cards support, change the value to false.
      
5. If you've enabled multiple network interface cards support, update the following keys to reflect your configuration:
   
   <add key="MSR.LST.Reflector.MultipleInterfaceSupport" value="false"/>
   <add key="MSR.LST.Reflector.MulticastInterfaceRouteIndex" value="0x0"/>
   <add key="MSR.LST.Reflector.MulticastInterfaceIP" value="172.31.41.183"/>
   <add key="MSR.LST.Reflector.UnicastInterfaceIP" value="192.168.1.1"/>
   <add key="MSR.LST.Reflector.IPv6MulticastInterfaceIP" value="3000::1:212:79ff:fed2:f77"/>
   <add key="MSR.LST.Reflector.IPv6UnicastInterfaceIP" value="3000::2:212:79ff:fed2:f77"/>
    
6. Save the Reflectorservice.exe.config file in text-only format.

Note  Avoid changing the priority of the multicast gateway. If it has a higher priority than the unicast gateway, Reflector Service may not be able to connect ConferenceXP clients.
