4.4. Setting up a link
Generally you should go through the following steps:
1.
Select the
basic options
that will essentially determine the operation: network interface and
main codec mode. This is described below (4.4.1, Basic options).
2.
Prepare or check the settings for the
network interface
(s) you will use. See below (4.4.2,
Preparing the network interface(s)).
3.
Select the suitable
coding configuration
for the link(s). See below (4.4.3, Setting the coding
4.
Select or dial the destination address/number and
launch calls
to the desired destination(s).
This is described below (4.4.4, Launching calls).
5.
Alternatively, the unit can also
receive calls
from remote units. See below (4.4.5, Receiving
4.4.1. Basic options
Before setting up links with the unit, you should select the basic operating mode. For this, the main
choices to do are:
What will be the main network for the transmission? The type of network is ISDN, Ethernet,
mobile IP or Wi-Fi, depending on the available resources. In addition, there may be alternate
interfaces: for instance, the mobile access may be using the internal module, or an external USB
device.
Will you use a Coordination channel in addition to the main Program transmission?
Is it necessary to use a separate network link for this coordination channel?
Whatever the network interface selected as main interface, the table below summarises the possible
combinations available
1
:
Case 1:
only one link is set, and only the program mix is transmitted.
Case 2:
only one link is set, but the codec is set for dual mono coding, and both the program
and coordination are transmitted/received on the same connection.
Case 3
:
the double codec mode allows to set two independent links for respectively the
program and the coordination channels.
Case 4
:
[
NYA
] on one side the program is transmitted over the network on a mono
connection, and on the other side a mobile voice link (using the integrated mobile access
module) is used for a transmitting the coordination.
