 The `universes` argument can be an array (for joining multiple universes) or a single integer for joining a single universe. If `universes` is omitted, a single value of `1` is assumed. If `port` is omitted, the default E1.31 port `5568` is used.

+```javascript
+var e131 = require('e131');
+var server = new e131.Server({
+  universes: [universes], // Multiple universes
+  // universe: universe, // Single universe
+  port: 5568,
+  ip: '192.168.1.12' // IP of the network interface
+});
+```
+
+All options are optional. Use either `universes` or `universe` but not both. The `ip` option is required when more than one network interface is present.
+
 The server will join the corresponding Multicast groups for each provided universe automatically and starts listening as soon as it is created.
 The server performs basic out-of-order detection on received packets. If an out-of-order packet is received, it is discarded.
