16.9 Configuring Multi-Unicast Dialing Programs
The codec can transmit a mono or stereo multi-unicast audio stream to a maximum of 6
endpoints in total. The first connection in a multi-unicast program is capable of bidirectional audio.
Multi-unicast connections can only be created using the ToolBox web-GUI and require a software
license which supports multi-unicasting.
Prerequisites:
·
Bridge-IT firmware v.1.01.00 r4219 or higher.
· G3 codec firmware v.1.6.56 or higher (if connecting to a G3 codec).
· ToolBox web-GUI v.1.2.2.3 or higher.
· A multi-unicast license installed in the dialing codec.
Important Notes: Before you start program configuration please note:
· 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.
· If you are dialing to both G3 and Bridge-IT, Merlin or Genie codecs, by default the
Audio Reference Level will be configured for the compatibility of the codec dialed
first. I.e. if you dial a G3 codec first then the G3 Audio Reference Level will be
configured for all connections.
· Connections are dial only for multi-unicast programs.
· 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. The first connection in each multi-
unicast stream determines default settings (e.g. algorithm, sample rate, bit rate), for
all subsequent connections in that stream, except for dialing settings.
· All algorithms are supported for multi-unicast connections, however only one can be
used per audio stream.
·
Select any algorithm for multi-unicast connections except aptX Enhanced and PCM.
· Bidirectional audio is only available on the first connection dialed.
· SmartStream PLUS and FEC is not available for multi-unicast connections.
· Renegotiation of connection bit rates is not possible when connected.
·
Ensure you have sufficient connection bandwidth at the local codec to support all the
connections to which you are connecting.
