Page 9: 611 Product Description
The 611 is Inovonics’ second-generation Internet Streaming Introduction monitor, providing uninterrupted quality and performance monitoring of Internet audio streams. The 611 may be set up and operated with the front-panel jog wheel and OLED display, and a built-in, full-featured Webpage interface is accessible us- ing any PC, tablet or smart phone with a browser. -

Inovonics product. Because it is so small and lightweight, returning the 611 Moni- tor for factory servicing is the option that we recommend. Ino- vonics has never depended on factory repair charges as a sig- nificant source of revenue, and we are confident that you will find our repair turnaround interval and rates equitable. -
Page 12: Section Ii - Installation
GENERAL This section of the manual addresses the physical installation of the 611 at its operating location, or the ‘nuts and bolts’ of connecting the unit. This section also references manual pages where pertinent setup options and adjustments are discussed. -

DHCP work for you at least initially, but if and when your 611 needs a static IP address, you’ll have to highlight and clear the DHCP box. This will unlock the other boxes for alternate data entry. As you then highlight each box, an on-screen keyboard pops up permitting you to overwrite the default entries. -

Section IV USING THE WEBSERVER INTERFACE The Inovonics 611 internal Webserver contains multiple inter- Internal active pages, or menus, for setup and operation of your unit.

Page 20: Remote Listening
Up to 10 listeners can access this audio stream simultaneously. Bear in mind that this audio stream from the 611 is being re- encoded by the 611 for Web-browser listening. What you hear using this utility will not be in exact sync with the hardwired audio outputs of the 611 or with the action of level meters and other visual displays. -
Page 21: Reception Status-In-Brief
This second section of the Now Playing Webpage screen displays the bulk of the metadata that is either sent along with the au- dio stream, or that the 611 Monitor derives from stream pa- rameters. Some of these parameters, along with others not in this grid, are displayed graphically with much greater detail and with selectable time scaling on the History Plots Webpage. -

Stream Settings Stream URL menu. It’s tedious to enter URLs from the front panel of the 611, and the Webpage interface offers a far easier method. You simply copy a URL from a Website, an email, or a spreadsheet or a scratchpad listing of saved URLs, and then highlight the exist- ing Stream Address: and paste the new URL over it. -

Alarms memory. This is a leading feature of the 611 monitor, so please take time to understand it. Setup options below the URL Tuner include Buffer Size (KB):, Un- derrun Options, (server) Pinger and Failover Triggers. -
Page 24: The Pinger
128KB would offer maximum underrun protection, but at the expense of greater latency. The buffer in the 611 is meant to guard against occasional net- work ‘hits’ or hiccups, not for ongoing major data perturba- tions. -
Page 25: Failover Triggers And Setup
If Failover On: Audio Loss is programmed, an audio loss alarm received for the stream playing will switch the 611 to the next stream on the list. Any or all triggers may be enabled, but the associated alarm for that fault mode must be set up and enabled on the Alarms Webpage. -
Page 26: Graphs And Metering
However, the 611 maintains comprehensive Alarm Logs that may be viewed at the bottom of the Alarms Webpage. -
Page 27: History Plot Screens
These meters should not be thought of as traditional “VU” meters, which have quasi- averaging response to program waveforms. The 611 offers ‘rolling’ plots of audio levels, buffer utilization History Plot and ping timing. Plots are viewable over a specified time span, Screens from the past minute to a full, 24-hour time study. -

You may also zoom-in on the display by dou- ble-clicking your left mouse button, and then scroll through the magnified display by hold- ing-down the button and dragging the cursor. In the example shown here we’ve zoomed-in on the display to enlarge the first one-second of audio levels. -
Page 29: Stream Info
The upper portion of the Stream Info Webpage shows some of the more basic information about the currently-playing stream. These are statistics that may be found elsewhere on 611 Webpages, but are duplicated here for quick reference when picking through the wealth of data presented by the Connection Tracker below. -
