CONNECTING AND DISCONNECTING
Once the remote connec on entries are saved on both units in the link, the connec on can be established using
the
Web User Interface on either end. Locate the desired remote entry in the Connec ons Tab , highlight the
remote and click the “Connect” bu on on the right side of the screen. When a connec on is a empted, the “State”
column in the connec on table will change to re
fl ect the progress of the connec on (as shown in Figure 38 ). If the
connec on fails, the reason for the connec on failure will be shown in this column. When the remote connec on
succeeds, the encoder and decoder mode will be re
fl ected in the “Codec” column (shown as “Tx:” and “Rx:”,
respec vely). To end a connec on, highlight the remote and select Disconnect.
SPECIAL NOTES FOR CROSSLOCK CONNECTIONS
MULTIPLE NETWORK SETUP
For added reliability, mul ple networks may be a ached to BRIC-Link II and used together during a CrossLock
connec on. A second Ethernet cable can be added using a USB-to-Ethernet adapter. When two Ethernet cables
are detected, both networks will be added to the CrossLock VPN and used for media transfer (unless speci
fi cally
disabled for CrossLock use). During an ac ve CrossLock connec on, the Performance Tab on the Web User
Interface will show the ra o of data being applied to networks on both the send and receive direc on.
Default Network-Bonding - By default, data is appor oned between the networks in a “Bonding” mode. This
means the en re data channel is broken into pieces and appor oned among the networks. This mode is best for
networks of unknown quality. If one network becomes constrained, data will be allo ed dynamically among the
others. Bonding mode is very e
ff ec ve even when one network drops en rely, o en providing glitch-free audio as
data is switched over.
Redundant Transmission - Alterna vely, CrossLock can be con fi gured for “Redundant” mode. This is best for
networks of known good quality. In Redundant mode, all data is reproduced over every available network, and only
the
fi rst packet to arrive at the decoder is used. This mode can be enabled in the System Se ngs Tab , by selec ng
“Redundant Transmission” under the “CrossLock VPN” header. This is a system-wide se ng.
