Switchboard is a feature that allows codecs to “sync” with a cloud-based server. Switchboard allows for easy connections
to be made between codecs without any knowledge of IP addresses on both ends of the link. It also provides presence
and status information about all the Comrex codecs in your fleet, and can help make some connections through routers
and firewalls that might be difficult otherwise.
Comrex highly recommends setting up and utilizing Switchboard with your codecs. If you do not have an account, contact
us at [email protected] or 978-784-1776/1-800-237-1776.
When codecs are turned on and have network connectivity, they open a channel to the
switchboard.comrex.com
server,
and provide the current public IP address, connection status, firmware revision, and the type of router (if any) that exists
in the link.
Switchboard recognizes devices by their MAC address and provides information to any units in the same Switchboard
fleet that are also online.
