Licenses are purchased from your Telos representative and then enabled in the “Maintenance” window. From the home-page, click on “VIP Link Gateway” to monitor and configure network and internet links. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2025-10-10 at 15.34.56.png) Figure 1 - Opening the VIP Link Gateway home page ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2025-10-10 at 15.47.59.png) Figure 2 - VIP Link Gateway home page - click on “Link” to open the monitoring and configuration window in Figure 3 ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/Link-Link-Fig1.png) Figure 3 - The monitoring and configuration page of the Link page In Figure 3, two groups of eight licensees have been purchased giving a total of sixteen licenses. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/LInk-Link-Fig2(1).png) Figure 4 - Each of the sixteen codecs (links) is individually configured Once the Input Label is set, open Dashboard and navigate to the Output pane and type the Input Label into the search box. Drag and drop the output into the Virtual Port, IFB or Group you wish to send via Link. A Livewire+ AES67 channel number will automatically be allocated by Link. Link will also accept multicast addresses in this field. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2025-10-10 at 15.41.20(1).png) Figure 5 - VIP Link inputs and outputs From the Link configuration window (Figure 7), type an available Livewire Channel or Multicast Address into the Output Channel/Address field. Add a label to describe the audio being received in the Output Label field. Now that audio can be sent between Link and other Telos Infinity devices, it is time to configure Link to send and receive audio across the WAN connection or internet. Enter the static IP address and port number of the Telos Infinity Link at the other end of your internet connection in the Peer Device Information field using the format “IP Address:Port Number”. Be sure to use a public IP address as FQDN is not supported. The moment you exit the Peer Device Information field, the input will start streaming to peer the Infinity Link. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/image-DLXIAOJD.png) Figure 6 - Peer Device Receive Configuration Select an appropriate bitrate and type from the Codec Profile dropdown menu. Each codec represents a single audio channel, so choosing 2-channel (stereo) from the Channel menu automatically uses the next available codec for the second channel. Finally, set the Receive Port to the IP address of the interface connected to the Internet and the port number forwarded through your firewall. In general, we recommend a non-standard port starting at 21000. **Note -** For additional information on router configuration and port forwarding, please see the following section, [“Router Configuration and Port Forwarding”.](/v1/docs/v24-router-configuration-and-port-forwarding) ## Link Codec Configuration ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/Link-Link-Fig3.png) Figure 7 - Configuration Window #### Operating State Enable or disable the channel #### Channels Set the codec to mono or stereo - this is dependent on the codec profile selected in “Send Profile” below. #### Input Label / Source Name Enter the name of the link, this appears in the configuration window in Dashboard #### Input Channel Address The Liverwire+ channel. #### Send Profiles Pull down the menu to select the required codec #### Send Address IP address and port of the sending Link device #### Output Label Enter the name of the link, this appears in the configuration window in Dashboard. #### Output SAP advertisement Enable or disable SAP advertising #### Receive Address The IP address and UDP port number of the receiving device that Link is sending to. #### Receive Channel Optional Livewire+ channel. #### Link Offset The jitter buffer size in milliseconds. Making this too large will causes excessive audio delay, but making it too small could result in packet loss and audio distortion. ### Configuring the Link Receiver Click on the configuration button in the receive-window as shown in Figure 8. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/Link-Link-Fig4b.png) Figure 8 - Open Receive Source Selector ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/Link-Link-Fig7.png) Figure 9 - Select the protocol type for the Link receive codec ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/Link-Link-Fig5.png) Figure 10 - Protocols available in the Link license ### Diagnostics Clicking on the “Maintenance” window from the home page provides the following diagnostics and configuration information ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2025-10-10 at 15.56.36-a.png) Figure 11 - Maintenance and Diagnostics window #### Reboot Clicking on “Reboot” will reboot the VIP Link instance. Use with extreme caution #### Factory Reset Except IP Provides a factory reset to take the VIP Link instance back to its default configuration. The IP address stays the same so that the instance can still be reached once rebooted. #### Download Log Provides logging information for the VIP Link instance to assist with diagnostics. Your Telos support engineer may ask for a copy of the downloaded file. #### Save and Load Configuration Makes copies of the configuration data into a local file during diagnostics and maintenance. #### Update Password Allows the VIP Link instance password to be reset. Use with extreme caution.
