Page 7: Installation
Mounting a single SAS220 device in a 19 inch rack To mount a single SAS220 in an 19 inch rack, you make use of the large side mounting plate and one of the small side mounting plates. At each side of the device, there are two screws and two small slot-like openings. -
Page 8: Mounting Two Devices In A 19 Inch Rack
3.1 Rack mount At this point you can mount the whole setup in the rack by bolting the sides to the frame of the rack. In most cases though, we recommend that the devices are first connected and then mounted, for the simple reason that all connections of the device are located in the back and once mounted, the devices will not be as easy to access. -
Page 9: Connecting Your Sas220 Device
Connecting the device is described later in this chapter. Table mount When used in an office environment the SAS220 device could be placed on your office desk, next to your PC, while in a professional environment your SAS220 device would typically be mounted in a rack. -
Page 10: Connecting The Ethernet Cable
The SAS220 is an internet audio encoding and streaming device. It can encode the audio into Ogg Vorbis or MP3 and stream it to an Icecast distribution server. The SAS220 can also be used as a server, so that client devices can connect directly to the SAS220. In this case, the SAS220 device can serve up to 2 connected client devices. -
Page 11: Audio Encoding And Streaming
Ogg Vorbis performs by design better in variable bitrate mode. For this purpose, it is not possible to configure the SAS220 to encode Ogg Vorbis at a constant bitrate. When you choose for Ogg Vorbis you have automatically chosen for variable bitrate. -
Page 12: Device Configuration
The Streamit device portal (https://devices.streamit.eu) is a free web-service that helps users to configure and monitor their SAS audio streamer devices, straight out of the box. The figure below shows how the Streamit device portal is used in combination with SAS220 devices. Version 1.3... -
Page 13: Why A Remote Web-Interface
Note that the SAS220 needs to be configured in fixed network settings when used as a server. This will ensure that the client device will be able to (always) find it. To configure (fixed) network settings to your SAS220 device, STP is used(see 5.3.2). -
Page 14: Remote Monitoring
The SAS220 must be configured to send monitoring messages: This function must be switched on and the URL of the monitoring server must be set. Such a monitoring server is not readily available, but requires custom implementation and hosting by you or a partner you select. -
Page 15: Configuring Your Sas220 Device
Getting started with Streamit device portal To get started with the Streamit device portal you need an account. This is very easy and free of charge. Once you have an account, you can manage your Streamit SAS220 device and other devices from Streamit on Streamit device portal. -
Page 16: Telnet
When streaming to a server, the server details (IP address, port, etc.) are provided by the party providing the audio distribution When using the SAS220 as a server (Pull by client), you can choose the port number that has to be used for audio distribution. Depending on the setup, it might be required that port forwarding and firewall setting be configured to allow access to the stream from outside the local network. -
Page 17: How Does It Work
5.2 Telnet 5.2.3 How does it work The device is constantly ‘listening’ for an incoming Telnet connection. When a connection is valid, it is possible to control the device by sending commands as described in the command protocol. Type ‘help’ (without the quotes) and press enter to get a listing of the available commands. -
Page 18: Stp (Streamit Terminal Program)
5.3.2 Configuring SAS220 with STP Make sure that the STP version you are using, supports the SAS220 device. Check for updates from the Streamit website. Start with the ‘General settings’ of the device. Choose the Configure tab, then click Device button. This is also the default view when you start STP. - Page 19 5.3 STP (Streamit Terminal Program) Select the operation mode ‘I want to use fixed configurations’. When required, you can change the Remote Software Update (RSU) settings. It is possible to enable or disable the RSU feature. When RSU is enabled, it is also possible to change the software update URL.
- Page 20 Encoder Presets page: Under encoding settings, you can configure the audio encoding parameters. Under the streams settings, you can configure whether the SAS220 has to stream to a distribution server or act as a server itself. Under the station details, information about the station is entered. This information is communi- cated in the HTTP header to the server or connected client devices.

Page 21: Switching On Your Sas220 Device For The First Time
Switching on your SAS220 device for the first time The first time you switch on your SAS220 device, it will be using its default settings. By default the SAS220 device will try to connect to the remote web-interface for the configuration update. - Page 22 5.4 Switching on your SAS220 device for the first time When a connection is established, the SAS220 will start to encode and stream the audio data. A digital VU meter will be shown on the display and audio will be audible from the headphone connector.
