Example
Let’s consider the following use case. You have a network 10.1.x.x that has a route
to 10.2.x.x. But for some reason, a specific workstation at address 10.1.2.3 cannot
access 10.2.x.x. Specifying a network manually on that workstation allows the
Media Router to know that it has to redirect
the media from 10.2.x.x for that workstation instead of making it try to connect
directly to 10.2.x.x and fail.
