Configure Multicast Client Programs
Important Notes: Before you commence program configuration please note:
· Ensure all connection related settings like the port, algorithm, bit rate (etc) match
on both multicast server and client programs or they will not connect successfully.
· You cannot edit a program when it is currently loaded in the codec.
· Lock a loaded custom program or multistream program in a codec to ensure it
cannot be unloaded by a codec dialing in with a different type of program. For
example, if a multistream program is not locked it will be unloaded by a mono or
stereo call.
· Some drop-down menus and settings may be greyed out intentionally depending on
features available.
· It is possible to save a program at several points throughout the program wizard
and use default settings to save configuration time.
· To learn more about programs see the section titled About Program Dialing .
· Always dial the multicast server codec connection first before connecting multicast
client codecs.
· Multicast client codecs will display return link quality (LQ) only. The Return reading
represents the audio being downloaded from the network locally. Multicast server
codecs do not display LQ readings.
· The default UDP audio port setting is 9000 for the first multicast, 9010 for the
second multicast and 9020 for the third multicast. The client and server port settings
must match to receive an audio stream. E.g. if a client codec wishes to receive
multicast audio stream 2 then it must use audio port 9010.
· Use firmware higher than 2.8.xx in the Bridge-IT, Genie and Merlin families of codecs to
enable auxiliary data.
· It is not possible to connect to a G3 codec and receive multicast IP audio streams.
· To copy multicast client programs onto multiple codecs see Backup and Restore
Functions .
1. Open the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI and click Connect in the Menu Bar , then select Program
Manager to launch the Program Manager panel .
2. Click the New Program button to open the wizard and:
· Click in the text box to name the new program.
· Click the Mix drop-down arrow to associate a custom matrix mix with the program if required.
· Select Multicast Client to configure a multicast program, or if you want to use an existing
program as a template, select this option. Then click Next .
Important Notes: When you decide to use an existing program as a template, the new
program inherits all the settings of the template program and you can adjust these
settings as required by continuing through the program wizard. Genie Distribution codecs
also support 3 simultaneous client audio stream connections via
2 x Multicast Client or
3 x Multicast Client programs.
