Stream password: password of the encoder stream.
Please note currently only external icecast2 servers are supported.
If you have followed all the guidelines well, everything should be configured now so you can start testing the
encoding/streamer now.
Testing of the product with an external icecast2 server
Switch the product off and on again. If everything is ok you will hear after some time (about 30 seconds) 4 tones
coming from the internal speaker of the product. If the tones are going up in frequency the sign is given that the
product fully has started and everything is ok.
Now connect an audiosource to the Mic-input of the product.
Also connect a headphone (or loudspeaker) to the Line-output of the product.
If everything is ok, you will hear the audiosource without distortion from the headphone.
To be sure also the streaming works ok you want to hear audio from the loudspeaker of your PC (or Lukas internet
radio device). For configuring the Lukas internet radio devices we refer to the Lukas Terminal user manual. You can
download this manual from the Streamit website.
Getting the audio from your PC also is easy and can be done in the following way:
Install Winamp audioplayer on your PC from
www.winamp.com
(or from the Streamit CD-ROM) and follow the
installation instructions.
Start Winamp.
Press CTRL + L or:
•
Click with the mouse on the sinewave sign in the Winamp screen.
•
Select the Play menu.
•
Press on URL.
Enter here the address of the stream which you got from your external icecast server provider.
When everything is ok, you will hear the audio from your loudspeaker now. If you hear the audio, you are
sure the product is configured well.
When the product detects a problem with – for example – the internet connection or the external
icecast server, it will automatically try to correct the problem. In this case you will hear a repeating
error tone during the retries.
