SETTING UP A SWITCHBOARD ACCOUNT
The Switchboard Traversal Server is a service built and maintained by Comrex on the public Internet that facilitates
connec ons between audio codecs by allowing them to share network and status informa on across a fl eet of
other codecs. Devices added to a Switchboard Account can share connec vity parameters with any other units on
that account, and the Switchboard server will keep these units up to date on how best to connect across various
network types.
Note: BRIC-Link II requires the purchase of a Switchboard Traversal Server License for use with
