4.2. Connection modes
In order to establish an IP communication using PROGRAM or COORD channels, first we need
to choose one of the three available connection modes: "PROXY SIP", "DIRECT SIP" and "RTP
Point to Point (RAW)" from the "INTERFACE" drop-down menu of the desired channel. This is
the same as selecting the communications mode with the front panel "SIP" / "IP" and the use or
not of an external Proxy under MENU
COMMUNICATIONS
SIP.
We can access the IP configuration submenu by clicking on "I/F Setup". This menu is described
in sections 6.1.4.2 and 6.1.4.3 of "AEQ ControlPHOENIX" user’s manual.
It is important to know the details of each type of connection, so they are explained below.
4.2.1. RTP Point to Point (RAW).
This type of connection is selected when the connection over IP will be an RTP type link with
calling of the (IP address:port) to (IP address:port) type. Obviously there is no advanced
signaling protocol in this scenario and you will need to established, set parameters and
disconnect communication from both ends. Audio encoding must be the same (and explicitly
specified) in both ends of the communication.
In order to avoid that hassle, making the calling, hanging up and coding selection tasks easier,
as it will be necessary to do it from one end only, "SmartRTP" can be activated in both involved
audiocodecs (provided that they are AEQ Phoenix compatible with this mode).
If the operating mode required for a contact is "RTP raw", the only valid equipment identifier is:
<IP_address>:<destination port>, for example: "
172.26.33.28:5008
"
The specified destination port must match the Local port set up for the remote equipment. That
is, in order to make a RTP call, we must know the IP address and local port of the remote unit
even if "SmartRTP" is used.
When you create a Call Book, these fields describing a contact can be
modified in the Call Book that can be accessed from a codec individual
control window through the "Contacts" option in "Configuration" (see
section 5.1.7 of "AEQ ControlPHOENIX" user’s manual).
You can access the IP configuration submenu for RTP Raw mode by clicking on "I/F Setup"
button, and that it is explained in section 6.1.4.3 of "AEQ ControlPHOENIX" user’s manual.
