Platform requirements for Peer-to-Group Media Broadcast

P2G Station (server):

  • CPU: 2 GHz or more
  • Memory: 1 GB or more
  • Hard drive: 10 MB for installation
  • Operating system: Windows® 2000 or Windows XP (Note: You need Windows XP for IPv6 support.)
  • Software:

P2G Receiver (client PC):

  • CPU: 500 MHz or more (it should meet the requirements of Windows Media Player)
  • Memory: 384 MB or more (it should meet the requirements of Windows Media Player)
  • Hard drive: 1 MB for automatic installation
  • Windows Media Player, Version 9 or 10
  • Internet Explorer, Version 5 or above (Note: you may need Windows XP for IPv6 support.)'

Peripherals:

When you have a Network Address Tralslation (NAT) box at the client side and it supports Universal Plan and Play (UPnP), then the P2G Receiver software automatically enables an appropriate port forwarding function at the box. Otherwise, you will see an error message saying "no response from station." Please make sure that UPnP is enabled in your NAT box.

Only one client is allowed behind the NAT box. If you have two or more P2G clients behind the box, they fail to exchange data mainly because of conflicts in port forwarding.
