16.7 Configuring Multicast Client Programs
Important Notes: Before you commence program configuration please note:
· Ensure all connection related settings like the port, algorithm, bit rate (etc) match on
both multicast server and client programs or they will not connect successfully.
· You cannot edit a program when it is currently loaded in the codec.
· You can lock a loaded custom program in a codec to ensure the currently loaded
program cannot be unloaded by a codec dialing in with a different program type.
·
Some drop-down menus and settings may be greyed out intentionally depending on
features available.
·
It is possible to save a program at several points throughout the program wizard and
use default settings to save configuration time.
· To learn more about programs see the section titled About Program Dialing .
·
Always dial the multicast server codec connection first before connecting multicast
client codecs.
· Multicast client codecs will display return link quality (LQ) only. The Return reading
represents the audio being downloaded from the network locally. Multicast server
codecs do not display LQ readings.
·
The default UDP audio port setting is 9000 and the client and server port settings
must match.
· Use firmware higher than 2.8.xx in the Bridge-IT, Genie and Merlin families of codecs to
enable auxiliary data.
· It is not possible to connect to a G3 codec and receive multicast IP audio streams.
· To copy multicast client programs onto multiple codecs see Save and Restore
Configuration Files .
