Connecting with Fuse-IP

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 using any of 7 possible IP interfaces, including:
· 2 USB modems.
· Cellular connections via Dual Active SIM LTE module.
· Wi-Fi.
· Dual Ethernet LAN ports.
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 selectable Via interface over which to dial, similar to selecting a LAN port or Wi-
Fi.
Fuse-IP requires one codec to be a server and the other codec a 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 or Wi-Fi interfaces at the remote site. Like with
SmartStream PLUS redundant streaming, configure two IP interfaces at the studio for additional
redundancy.
Prerequisites
ViA codecs using Fuse-IP can connect to the Tieline Genie, Merlin and Bridge-IT codec
families. Version 2.16.xx firmware is required to use Fuse-IP in these codecs. Before
configuring Fuse-IP you need:
· 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.
