Configuring A Caption Encoder To Use Lexilocal - EEG LexiLocal Application Note

LexiLocal receives program audio from the caption encoder and sends the caption transcription
to the encoder through Access Codes assigned to an encoder or a group of encoders. When
adding a new encoder, you have the option to allow LexiLocal to create an Access Code with the
same name as the device. Should you wish to create more meaningful access code names,
simply uncheck the default
box.

Configuring a Caption Encoder to Use LexiLocal

There are some differences in the menus between different EEG and third-party iCap caption
encoding products. These instructions assume an EEG HD492 encoder, but similar steps will
apply for different devices. Please consult your device manual for details or contact EEG
Support with questions.
The caption encoder will need to be able to reach the LexiLocal server on the network before
they can communicate. Usually, if the encoder and the server are on the same local subnet, this
will work without any special considerations. If the encoder and the server are not on the same
local subnet, or if you have any problems with connectivity between the encoder and server,
please consider the following factors:
1. The encoder must have a "Gateway" setting that points to a router that allows it to
communicate to the subnet the LexiLocal server lives on
2. The encoder will communicate with the server using several TCP ports that could be
blocked by some routers - make sure it is able to initiate outbound connections to the
server on TCP ports 9736, 9738, 14000, and 14002.
3. If you have a successful initial connection but then do not get audio data from the
encoder over iCap, also make sure the encoder can stream on UDP port 14010
When the networking setup is complete, navigate to the iCap settings of your caption encoder.
On the HD492, this is done by pointing a browser to the encoder's web page, logging in if the
security settings require it, and then navigating to "iCap" in the left menu. The page you should
see is shown in the image below.
