Playing Audio Files Manually
A device connected to the
USB HOST PORT
is treated as a connection and files can be played
back using the codec front panel controls.
1. Press the
HOME
button
to return to the
Home
screen.
2. Select
Connect,
then select
File
and press the
button.
3. Use the navigation buttons to select a file.
4. Press the
button or the
CONNECT
button to play the selected file.
5. Press the red
DISCONNECT
button on the numeric
KEYPAD
to stop file playback.
Caution:
Do not attach a bootable USB stick to the
USB HOST PORT
or the codec will
attempt to reboot using the USB stick instead of the codec if the codec is repowered. To
ensure a drive is non-bootable, remove all system partitions and format the device without
system startup files.
Forward Error Correction (FEC)
FEC transmits a secondary stream of audio data packets over a single connection. If packets are
lost or corrupted over the connection then replacement FEC data packets can be substituted to
replace them.
Note: FEC should not be confused with SmartStream PLUS. FEC packets are sent over a single
data stream connection, whereas SmartStream PLUS redundant streaming transmits completely
redundant audio data streams. FEC is also a subset of features within SmartStream PLUS, which
means you can configure SmartStream PLUS redundant data streams and also configure FEC on
each of these data streams. For more info on FEC see
Configuring Forward Error Correction
Auto Reconnect
Auto Reconnect is the simplest form of connection backup whereby the codec will redial a lost
connection continuously until it is either:
·
Re-established, or
·
Dialing is manually stopped.
Auto reconnect can be enabled when configuring a codec program designed to dial another codec or
codecs. See the procedures for configuring different programs
configuration details.

Lock or Unlock a Program in the Codec
It is possible to lock a loaded custom program in a codec to ensure the currently loaded program
type, e.g. mono, cannot be unloaded by a codec dialing in with a different program type, e.g. stereo.
For example, if your routing requirements require the codec at the studio to always connect using
mono peer-to-peer plus IFB, simply load and lock this program in the codec. Another reason for
locking a program in the answering codec is to always use a particular jitter buffer or FEC setting.
Generally programs will be up or down-mixed by the answering codec to match the loaded program
type. In some situations incompatible program types will be rejected. A compatible program type can
