Here is something I wrote for my devwiki/QA guys, may be useful to a Cisco novice however.

Once inside the router enter the login credentials, usually cisco for the username and password
You should be at a Router> prompt
Type enable to enter privileged mode, enter cisco for the password if one is set, your prompt should now be Router#
Enter a show running and verify ip multicast-routing and ip pim bidir-enable are in the configuration, this step you should only have to do once...
Type configure terminal (conf t for short) you prompt should now look like Router(config)#
Next enter interface fa0/0.143 note that you can see which vlans you have configured during the show running command, if you wish to configure an interface other than the 143 vlan simply change the number after the . Your prompt should now look like Router(config-if)#
Now enter the command ip pim sparse-dense-mode to enable multicast on that interface, or no ip pim sparse-dense-mode if you wish to turn it off... Remember if you dont have PIM on 2 interfaces, you probably wont see any IP multicast between them
A show running will show you if PIM is on or off on each interface
