Connecting with Fuse-IP Bonding

24.5
Fuse-IP is a proprietary Tieline IP bonding technology allowing a user to aggregate data
by bonding multiple IP interfaces (peers) and establishing a "tunnel" between two Tieline
codecs. A streaming connection can be established after the tunnel is created. Fuse-IP
automatically distributes data over any two bonded interfaces, which may include:
·
Dual Ethernet LAN ports.
·
An Ethernet LAN port with a Wi-Fi dongle.
There are several benefits in using Fuse-IP to aggregate data from multiple IP interfaces,
including:
·
The ability to create more stable connections with higher overall data bandwidth.
·
Greater choice of encoding algorithms because of higher available bandwidth.
·
Redundancy in case one IP connection is lost.
How does Fuse-IP work?
Fuse-IP is another Via interface you can use to dial, similar to selecting a LAN port or
Wi-Fi.
Fuse-IP requires one codec to be a server and the other codec is the client. Normally
the remote codec is configured as the client and the studio codec is the server,
because it's easier to dial static IP addresses configured at the studio than cellular,
Wi-Fi or LAN interfaces at the remote site. Like SmartStream PLUS redundant
streaming, you can use two IP interfaces at the studio for additional redundancy.
Prerequisites
Version 2.16.xx firmware is required to use Fuse-IP. Before configuring Fuse-IP
you need:
Configuring a Fuse-IP Server at the Studio
1. Press the SETTINGS
2. Select Fuse-IP and press the
·
The IP address (or addresses) for the codec acting as the server at the
studio.
·
The serial number of the server codec to which you are connecting using
Fuse-IP.
