Generic ADSL router settings for fetchtv

Important notes:

• Your ADSL router must support IGMP and multiple ADSL PVCs. (If you are unsure if your modem supports these features, please consult your modem's specification sheet which should be available on the manufacturers website).
• Please ensure your modem is running the latest available firmware before attempting configuration of the fetchtv service—this is generally found on the modem manufacturer's website.
• If your modem is supported by Internode we will have the latest tested firmware available via our download mirror support site.

Below is a basic outline of the settings that your modem/router will require to use fetchtv.

You will need to configure an additional ADSL PVC to receive the fetchtv multicast stream.

• PVC1 - Internet Access : ADSL PPPoE/PPPoA connection with your Internode primary username / password (you should already have one of these!)
• PVC2 - fetchtv Multicast : RFC 1483 Bridged LLC connection for receiving the fetchtv multicast streams to your fetchtv set top box.

Your Internet Access PVC (8/35) should already be configured on your ADSL router, otherwise you wouldn't be able to access the Internet.

Settings for PVC2 (fetchtv / Multicast PVC)

To receive the fetchtv multicast streams, you'll need to add an extra PVC to your ADSL router, here are the settings for the additional PVC:
