MobileConnect User Guide
Version 1.0
Step 1. Configure your network
You can use one single network or two separate networks for streaming and control (for more see section
Network
Setup
). In both cases, you need to configure the following in each network:
DNS
The system needs a single SRV record of _mcal._tcp per network:
Service Name
TTL
Class
Type
Priority
Weight
Port
Target
_mcal._tcp.yourdomain.com
3600
IN
SRV
0
0
8000
mc-manager
.yourdomain.com
•
Replace "
yourdomain.com
" with your own domain
•
The target hostname "mc-manager" can be replaced with any hostname you want to give to the
MobileConnect Manager
•
Use FQDN and not a direct IP address
DHCP
The following DHCP settings are required so that the MobileConnect Apps can discover the MobileConnect
Manager:
•
For Android
→
configure the "domain part" of the DHCP protocol
•
For iOS
→
the "domain part" has to be in the search domains
Step 2. Configure your WiFi
Configure traffic prioritization on your Access Points:
•
streaming uses
DSCP EF
value
•
control uses
DSCP CS3
value
Without prioritization you cannot achieve good audio quality and low latency.
We strongly advice not to use MobileConnect without it.
