Configuring 2 x Mono or Stereo Peer-to-Peer + IFB Programs
In most situations the studio codec will answer incoming audio stream connections from 2 remote
sites. As a result, the following procedure explains configuration of the answering connections
required at studio codec. The following configuration will always route audio from each audio stream
connection to separate audio outputs.
Important Notes: Before you commence program configuration please note:
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.
·
Select 2 x Mono/Stereo Peer-to-Peer + IFB, or if you want to use an existing program as a
template, select this option. Then click Next.
Important Note: 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.
3. Enter a name for the Audio Stream, add a caller ID and configure the codec to Answer only.
Then click Next. Note: The caller ID is used to identify calls. If the codec you are configuring
needs to dial connections as well as answer, you can select Dial or answer and configure both
dialing and answering connections. For the purposes of this example dialing is excluded in
configuring 2 stereo and 2 IFB audio streams.

The auxiliary input is used by default for the IFB communications channel in Merlin
codecs.
·
You cannot edit a program when it is currently loaded in the codec.
·
You can lock a loaded custom program
program cannot be unloaded by a codec dialing in with a different type of program.
·
If your Merlin PLUS codec at the studio will receive both mono and stereo peer-to-
peer + IFB calls from different remote sites at different times, we recommend you
configure and load a 2 x Stereo Peer-to-Peer + IFB answering program and
this in the codec at the studio. This will accept both mono and stereo audio stream
connections. If a codec with a Mono Peer-to-Peer + IFB program calls the studio,
the incoming mono stream will be mixed to both the left and right outputs at the
studio.
·
Some drop-down menus and settings may be greyed out intentionally depending on
features available and the transport selected (e.g. IP or ISDN).
·
It is possible to save a program at several points throughout the program wizard
and use default settings to save configuration time.
·
Failover and SmartStream PLUS redundant streaming are not available with SIP or
sessionless IP connections.
·
POTS is not supported for stereo audio stream connections.
