TELOS INFINITY LINK
Gateway IP Codec
INTRODUCTION
Telos Infinity Link enables Infinity systems in remote locations to connect to one another using an
embedded, versatile, speech-optimized OPUS codec over the public Internet or private infrastructure.
This Telos Infinity Link Gateway is a dedicated, rack-mounted, hardware platform with dual redundant
internal power supplies and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. It can be configured with either eight or sixteen
bi-directional mono codecs, making it an ideal choice for higher density applications.
Infinity Link is also available as licensed software in Infinity Intercom Master Panels, Infinity Expansion
Panels, and Infinity Desktop Panels (4 or 8 codecs) and Infinity Beltpacks (2 codecs).

The web-based user interface can be accessed over either port. By default, Infinity Link Gateway is set up with DHCP enabled so that it will receive an IP address automatically when connected to a network with a DHCP server. DHCP can be disabled and a static address entered if preferred. - Page 6 QUICK-START INSTALLATION GUIDE Pressing the Right arrow key a second time will display the Setup menu for the Primary port, which shows current information and allows front panel network setup. This includes setting DHCP (enabled or disabled), the IP address, the netmask, and the gateway. Pressing the Right arrow again will display the same menu for the Secondary network connection if connected.

CONNECTING TO THE WEB-BASED USER INTERFACE Infinity Link Gateway is configured, controlled, and monitored through a web-based user interface. Enter the IP address of either port into the web browser of your choice; once connected, enter the default user name of “user” (minus the quotes). There is no default password, so leave this field blank. -

QUICK-START INSTALLATION GUIDE Maintenance Screen The Maintenance menu is used to upload new system firmware, choose between installed firmware versions, and upgrade the unit from 8 channels to 16 channels. It also provides a means by which to perform a soft reboot of the unit, execute a self-test, perform a factory reset (with or without retaining the unit’s IP address), or download a log file if instructed to do so by customer support. -

QUICK-START INSTALLATION GUIDE SETTING UP A LINK To configure a link, set the operating state of a codec to Enable in the Link menu. Next, connect local audio from the Infinity System to Link. The Input Channel/Address field will be set by the Dashboard software in the next step. - Page 12 QUICK-START INSTALLATION GUIDE Figure 11: Dashboard output Type an available Livewire Channel or Multicast Address into the Output Channel/Address field. Add a label to describe the audio source you are receiving in the Output Label field. Below is an example of a fully filled in Audio Configuration section.

- Page 14 LIVEWIRE+ CHANNEL NUMBERS AND MULTICAST ADDRESSES As part of the Telos Infinity family of products, Infinity Link Gateway supports Livewire+ AES67 and receives its output channel information from the Dashboard software as a Livewire+ channel. Each Livewire+ channel number has a corresponding multicast IP address. Since Livewire+ channels are assigned by Dashboard, their multicast addresses will inherently fall within the available range which is between 1 and 32767.
- Page 15 The Infinity Link Gateway can connect to another Link-enabled Telos Infinity device using the public Internet. In this application, we highly recommend keeping the Secondary port behind a router as you would any computer with Internet access.
- Page 16 QUICK-START INSTALLATION GUIDE Figure 14: An example of a router’s port forwarding page In this example, we have forwarded port 24001 (UDP) to the local IP address of the Secondary port on our Link Gateway, which is 10.0.0.102. Now when the Link Gateway unit on the far end configures its Peer Device Information as “PublicIPAddress:24001”, the router will send any traffic on port 24001 to 10.0.0.102.
