  • Page 6: Introduction

    1. INTRODUCTION The inherent routing flexibility of Audio over IP (AoIP) provides great advantages over traditional audio cabling solutions while using highly cost effective Cat.5e cable. This greatly reduces the cost of wiring large systems and improves control convenience. This unit takes full advantage of the core benefits provided by AoIP and adds support for a selection of different audio source formats, including both analog (line in and mic in) and digital (optical S/PDIF).

    5. FEATURES • Analog inputs: 1×Mic input, 1×Line input • Digital input: 1×Optical input • Audio and RS-232 extension over TCP/IP in unicast (point-to-point) or multicast (single-to-many) modes • Extension of AoIP signals can be further extended (up to 100m per segment) by using gigabit network switches.

    6.4 WebGUI Control • Device Discovery Please obtain the “Device Discovery” software from your authorized dealer and save it in a directory where you can easily find it. Connect the unit and your PC/Laptop to the same active network and execute the “Device Discovery”...
  • Page 11: System Tab

    • WebGUI Overview All major functions of the unit, including status, streaming method, streaming channel selection, input selection, gain/mute control, Ethernet settings, and reset/firmware functions are controllable via multiple tabs in the WebGUI interface allowing for reasonably intuitive operation. Each transmitter and receiver in the system is controlled by its own WebGUI interface which may be accessed by opening a standard web browser on a PC and typing in the IP address of the unit you wish to connect to.
  • Page 12 2) Update Firmware: Provides a way to update the transmitter’s firmware. Click “Choose File” to select the firmware update file from the local PC (*.bin format). After selecting an appropriate file, click the “Upload” button to begin the update process. 3) Utilities: The Utilities window allows users to reset the unit back to the factory defaults by clicking “Factory Default”.
  • Page 13 4) Statistics: The Statistics window shows all available information about the operational status of the unit, including current Host ID Name, Ethernet information, MAC address, unicast/multicast mode, link status and mode.
  • Page 14: Network Tab

    6.4.2 Network Tab The Network tab provides controls over the transmitter’s broadcast channel, IP configuration, and network broadcast mode. Changes made to the network settings will require a reboot of the unit. After clicking on “Apply” please follow the reboot instructions in the WebGUI. Note: If the IP address is changed then the IP address required for WebGUI access will also change accordingly.
  • Page 15 Note: Every transmitter within the same local network must be assigned a different broadcast channel in order to avoid conflicts. 2) IP Setup: This section allows for configuration of the IP acquisition mode and Ethernet settings of the unit. It also provides an easy way to find the physical unit when installed with many other similar units.
  • Page 16: Functions Tab

    6.4.3 Functions Tab The Functions tab provides control over the transmitter’s audio source selection, audio mute/unmute, mic gain, front panel locks and serial control extension configuration. Changes made to these settings typically require a reboot of the unit. After clicking on “Apply” please follow the reboot instructions in the WebGUI, if necessary.
  • Page 17 „ Audio Select: Select between the optical, line or mic inputs on the transmitter. „ Audio Mute: Enable or disable muting the audio output. „ Mic Input Gain: Increase or decrease the audio gain of the microphone input by dragging the slider. Note: This is only controllable when Mic In is the selected source.
  • Page 18: Telnet Control

    6.5 Telnet Control Before attempting to use Telnet control, please ensure that both the unit and the PC are connected to the same active networks. Start your preferred Telnet/Console client, or use the built in client provided by most modern computer operating systems. After starting the client, connect by using the current IP address of the unit and port 23 (if the communication port number used by the unit has not been changed previously).
