FCC Compliance Statement
NOTE: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC limits for Class B digital devices FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE
(“home or office” interference requirements are more stringent than “outdoor” requirements. Operation of this device
is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
The Streamit audio encoder/streamer does not contain any user-servicable parts. Repairs should be made only by
an authorized Streamit service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could result in permanent damage to
the equipment, and void your warranty and your authority to operate the device under Part 15 regulations.
Required equipment
Before you are able to listen audio broadcasts through the internet, you will need some other items beside the
Streamit audio encoder/streamer. We distinguish the following situations:
1.
You do not want to use a streaming audioserver hosted by an internet serviceprovider and you already have
a DSL line with sufficient bandwidth to the internet.
2. In all other cases.
In the first situation you need:
•
An ADSL line and modem with integrated router and at least 2 ethernet connections. It is important that this
line has enough upstream bandwidth and is not shared with too many other DSL lines (advise: maximum 20-
25). You can calculate the number of listeners which can listen simultaneously with the following formula:
upstream bitrate ADSL (in kbit/s) * % bandwidth available / bitrate per listener. It is also important the DSL
line has a fixed IP address.
For example: with an upstream bandwidth of 256 kbit/s, an average bandwidth availability of 70% and an
average audioquality, so let’s say 24 kbit/s stream bitrate, you can support about 7 to 8 listeners
simultaneously. With a 1024 kbit/s line this amount is about 30.
