Page 40: Part Xiv Configuring Aes3 Audio
4, or stereo AES3 digital outputs 1-4, plus stereo AES3 digital outputs 5-8. Codecs feature stereo AES inputs and outputs on the rear panel of the codec for AES3 (AES/EBU) format audio. These balanced 110 ohm inputs can operate effectively over distances of up to 100 meters and accept both mono and stereo AES3 signals.
Page 41 The codec implements an Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter (ASRC) to convert the sample rate of an AES3 input to the sample rate set in the codec. The codec sample rate is determined by the selected algorithm. For example, if you select the Music algorithm, the sample rate will be set to 32kHz.
Page 42 With this setting the codec uses AES3 input sync information to set the codec output sample rate (Note: this is the same as the AES Rx Clock setting in Tieline G3 codecs). The codec initially tries to use the signal on AES inputs 1 and 2 as the clock to which the AES outputs are synchronized. If unavailable, it then attempt to use inputs 3 and 4, or inputs 5 and 6 and so on in that order.
Page 43: Part Xv Headphone Output

Connect the codec to a PC using a LAN connection and open the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI. 2. If new software is available the Upgrade symbol appears in the top-left of the screen.
Page 225 4. Select the .bin file you are using to perform the upgrade and click Open to start the upgrade. IMPORTANT: The codec will reboot automatically after the firmware upgrade. DO NOT remove power or reboot the codec before the update has completed and the codec has rebooted itself.
Page 226: Software License Installation
To perform an automatic software license update after purchasing a new license file it is necessary to connect the codec to a PC and ensure it is connected to the internet. Check for a notification by email from Tieline that your new license file is ready to download from TieServer.
Page 227 Download a License File and Install Manually If the automatic license update fails, or the codec is not connected to the internet, it is possible to install a previously downloaded license file, or a license file copied to a PC. Save the license to a PC connected to the codec and use the following procedure to install it: 1.

Input Configuration, Levels and PPMs for more details. AoIP Mode All codecs support AES67 AoIP streaming. This setting selects whether the codec will stream using either AES67 or WheatNet-IP when an optional WheatNet-IP card is installed. 1. Press the SETTINGS button.
Page 237 The codec implements an Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter (ASRC) to convert the sample rate of an AES3 input to the sample rate set in the codec. The codec sample rate is determined by the selected algorithm. For example, if you select the Music algorithm, the sample rate will be set to 32kHz.
Page 238 The default Tieline G6 audio reference scale displayed on the PPMs when connecting to a Tieline G6 codec is -40dBFS to 0dBFS. Using this reference scale audio peaks can safely reach 0dBFS without clipping, providing 20dB of headroom from the nominal 0vu point. The comparison table below outlines the reference scales for G6, G5, G3 codecs and Report-IT in dBFS, as well as the equivalent dBU scale.
Page 239 3. Select Analog PPM Units. Loopback Test Test mode is used by the codec to perform an input/output loopback test of audio. E.g. Input 1 is routed to Output 1, Input 2 is routed to Output 2 etc. 1. Press the SETTINGS button.

Disabled. Important Notes: · Ensure CSRF Protection is disabled in the codec or it will not be able to connect to the CCC. This setting is [Disabled] by default and is also available in the codec menu via Settings > WebGUI, and in the Options panel in the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI.
Page 241: Connecting With Fuse-Ip Bonding
Fuse-IP is another Via interface you can use to dial, similar to selecting a LAN interface. Fuse-IP requires one codec to be a server and the other 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, Wi-Fi or LAN interfaces at the remote site.
Page 242 4. Navigate down to Mode and press the button to select Server if the codec is at the studio. Note: the server codec serial number will be displayed and needs to be entered into the Fuse-IP client codec. 5. Navigate to Bonded Interfaces and press the...
Page 243 Gateway and Gateway 4 Manual v1.2 7. The codec is now configured to connect with a client codec over a Fuse-IP tunnel. Configuring a Fuse-IP Remote Client 1. Press the SETTINGS button. 2. Select Transports and press the button. 3. Select Fuse-IP and press the button.
Page 244 Gateway and Gateway 4 Manual v1.2 6. Navigate to Server S/N and press the button to enter the serial number of the server codec to which you are connecting (or select a previously entered serial number via History), then press button.
Page 245 HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI Program Manager panel. Important Notes: · Data is sent by the codec over the newly created 'tunnel' as soon as Fuse-IP is enabled, even if a connection has not been configured and dialed. Depending on the number of interfaces being used, codecs may transmit and receive up to 24MB of data per hour at each end of the link.
Page 246: Selecting An Algorithm
15kHz quality stereo audio at audio bit rates as low as 24kbps. A sample rate of 32kHz is used in the codec's default profiles to achieve ultra-low bit-rate connections, but this is adjustable to 44.1kHz or 48kHz if required.
Page 247 Opus is a highly versatile open source audio coding algorithm. It incorporates technology from the well-known SILK and CELT codecs to create a low latency speech and audio codec. It is a variable bit rate algorithm ideal for live broadcast situations because of its capacity to deliver high quality, real-time Audio over IP (AoIP) at low bit rates.

Page 251: Configuring The Jitter Buffer
A fixed jitter buffer is preferable over satellite connections to ensure continuity of signals. CAUTION: If a Tieline codec connects to a device that is using non-compliant RTP streams then the last fixed setting programmed into the codec will be enabled (default is 500ms).
Page 252 Gateway and Gateway 4 Manual v1.2 Jitter Buffer Settings and Relationship of Latency and Packet Loss Least Delay: This setting attempts to reduce the jitter buffer to the lowest possible point, while still trying to capture the majority of data packets and keep audio quality at a high level. This setting is the most aggressive in adapting to prevailing conditions, so the jitter buffer may vary more quickly than with the other settings.
Page 253 ‘going live’, to allow the codec to evaluate prevailing network conditions. The initial jitter buffer setting when a codec connects is 500ms and it is kept at this level for the first minute of connection (as long as observed delay values are lower than this point).
Page 254 Tieline codec. If you change the jitter buffer setting in a codec it will only adjust to the new level when link quality is high (e.g. above 70%). This is done to ensure audio quality is not compromised. When manually configuring the jitter-buffer delay in a codec it is necessary to think carefully about the type of connection you will be using.
Page 255: Configuring Forward Error Correction
Both the local and remote codec FEC settings can be configured in the codec before dialing. FEC should only be used if link quality displayed on the codec is below S:99 R:99, as it is of no benefit otherwise. Tieline and RFC2733 compliant FEC settings are outlined in the following table with their bit rate ratios.
Page 256 FEC packets to arrive and replace lost packets prior to audio playout. · By default, the codec will use the audio stream IP address as the remote FEC IP address as well. This can be adjusted in the Program Manager panel in the HTML5 Toolbox web-GUI.
Page 257 FEC at the studio codec. This effectively reduces the bandwidth required over the return link and increases the overall bandwidth available for the incoming broadcast signal from the remote site.
Page 258: Enabling Relays & Rs232 Data
'rules' configure events based on specific codec actions. Typically rules are based on a change in the state of a physical GPIO control port, or a Tieline or WheatNet-IP logic IO, or a codec program being connected or disconnected. Rules can only be created with the Web-GUI while the codec is disconnected.
Page 259 Ideally the settings on both codecs should match, or you could have data overflow issues. · Only the dialing codec needs to be configured to send RS232 data to another Tieline G5 or G6 codec. Session data sent from the dialing codec configures the answering codec.

Page 261: Configuring Tcp/Udp Ports
Tieline Codec Default Port Settings By default, the codec uses a TCP session port to send session data and a UDP port to send audio. The session port uses the TCP protocol because it is most likely to get through firewalls – ensuring critical session data (including dial, connect and hang-up data) will be received reliably.
Page 262 When using this mode you need to configure the "send" audio port (codec port at the remote end of the link to which you are sending audio) and "return" audio port (port used by the local codec to receive audio from the remote codec).
Page 263: Configuring Qos For Ip Packets
The codec can be programmed to tag IP data packets sent across a network by entering a value into the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) field within the header of data packets transmitted.
Page 264: Reset And Restore Factory Default Settings
Deletes codec event and log history. Note: This should only be performed if instructed to by Tieline support staff. Important Note: After restoring factory defaults, always reboot the codec using the Reboot Codec function, not by removing power from the codec.
Page 265: System Backup And Restore
Important Note: Initial firmware only supports an SD card for saving backup data. Therefore it is only possible to restore codec data files using an SD card backup. Creating a Backup File 1. Insert a single partition FAT 32 formatted SD card into the SD CARD SLOT on the front of the codec.
Page 266: Configuring Snmp Settings
7. A dialog confirms data has been restored successfully. 24.17 Configuring SNMP Settings The codec supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for managing devices on IP networks.

SD card and then use the following procedure to perform a firmware upgrade. Note: A single partition FAT32 formatted SD card must be used. 1. Insert the SD card into the SD CARD SLOT on the front panel of the codec. 2. Press the SETTINGS button.
Page 269: Installing A Security Certificate
IP networks. The digital SSL security certificate authenticates the codec and provides more secure encrypted HTTPS browser connections. The codec supports installing a private key as well as an intermediate and SSL certificate.
Page 270 10. The SSL Certificates menu should confirm the files are successfully Installed and enabled. 11. To access a codec via the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI in a browser after installing SSL security certificates ensure you type "https://" before the codec IP address. For example, https://172.16.0.100.
Page 271 > IP Options > Web-GUI > SSL Port. Troubleshooting Certificate Installation If you type "https://" before the codec IP address and can't open the Toolbox web-GUI, first uninstall the certificates and then reinstall them. Also double-check you are installing the correct certificates.
Page 272: Firewall Configuration
The Firewall menu can be used to enable or disable a range of firewall-related network services, or limit ping to only work in a local subnet. Tieline also recommends that SNMP is disabled if a codec is connected to a public facing network like the internet.
Page 273 · Many Tieline IP codecs support two simultaneous Ethernet connections. 3. If you are connecting a single codec to a router without a firewall you can enter the public IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway directly into the codec and your work is done. Note: your Telco should be able to provide this information.
Page 274 · Some firewalls require symmetric port configuration. The codec supports configuration of the "send" audio port (codec port at the remote end of the link to which you are sending audio) and "return" audio port (port used by the local codec to receive audio from the remote codec).

Page 277 If the studio codec Return LQ reading is 01 then incoming audio from the remote codec is being blocked by a firewall at either point A or B in the following diagram. If the studio codec Send LQ reading is 01 then outgoing audio from the studio is being blocked by a firewall at either point C or D in the following diagram.
Page 278 Diagnosing Port Blocking via the Remote Codec LQ If you attach your Tieline codec at the remote site to a LAN with access to the internet you can often dial and connect to the studio without any problem. It is less likely that a firewall will block outgoing TCP and UDP ports.
Page 279 (see "Troubleshooting TCP Port Blocking" above). Testing your Codec · Visit www.tieline.com or contact Tieline for a list of test IP codec addresses you can use to verify your codec is configured correctly. · See Testing IP Network Connections for more IP test information.
Page 280 TraceRoute and TracePath software tools. Ping the Codec A ping test can be used to test whether it is possible to reach a codec or any device over an IP network. A ping test measures: · The round-trip time of packets.
Page 281 Another utility available on your PC is traceroute. This tool can be used to determine the route and number of hops that data packets are taking to their destination (codec). This is useful because the more routers that packets traverse, the more latency your connection will have, and the less reliable it will be.
