Configuring TCP/UDP Ports
In TCP and UDP networks the codec port is the endpoint of your connection. Software network
ports are doorways for systems to communicate with each other. For example, several codecs in
your studio may use the same public static IP address. Unique port numbers can be used to port
forward audio to each codec.
Tieline Codec Default Port Settings
By default, the codec uses a TCP session port to send session data and a UDP port to send audio.
The session port uses the TCP protocol because it is most likely to get through firewalls – ensuring
critical session data (including dial, connect and hang-up data) will be received reliably.
The default session and audio port settings in Tieline codecs, for both TCP and UDP connections,
are outlined in the
Installing the Codec at the Studio
section of the manual. This section also
contains useful information for configuring port forwarding and troubleshooting IP connections.
Changing Codec Port Numbers
Reasons for adjusting the port setting on your codec include:
·
Creating a path through gateways and firewalls.
·
Another IP device is already using a codec’s port number.
·
More than one studio codec is in use and each codec requires a different port number.
Configuring the Session and Audio Port Numbers used when Dialing a
Program
For two codecs to connect, they need to be configured with matching port numbers. If there is a
need to change codec port settings, in most situations you should consult your organization’s
resident IT professional. To adjust either the session or audio port numbers for a particular
connection within a program:
1. Press the
HOME
button to return to the
Home
screen.
2. Use the navigation buttons on the front panel to select
Connect
and press the
button.
3. Select
IP
and press the
button.
4. Select your preferred
IP Session
mode and press the
button.
