Connecting to the Web-Based User Interface
Infinity Link Gateway is configured, controlled, and monitored through a web-based user interface. Enter the IP address of either port into the web browser of your choice; once connected, enter the default user name of “user” (minus the quotes). There is no default password, so leave this field blank.
Home Screen
The Home screen is displayed showing the unit’s serial number and software version along with basic networking and PTP clock information and other statistics.
It also displays the Device ID, which by default is a unique value based on the unit’s MAC address. We recommend you leave this value unchanged and use the Label field to create an easilyrecognized name for the Link Gateway.
If you do elect to change the ID, it must maintain a unique value among all devices in the system as this is the field Infinity Dashboard software uses to identify the hardware in its database.
Important! It is highly recommended that if you intend to change the Device ID, you do so before adding it to your system configuration in Dashboard. If the Gateway has already been added using its original Device ID and the value is then changed, duplicate instances of input and outputs will be created in the database which can result in corrupted paths.
Setup Screen
Detailed configuration of both the Primary and Secondary network connections, configuration of the PTP clock, and front panel display behavior are managed from the Setup screen.
Click on the “Primary” or “Secondary” buttons to select which connection is visible and configurable. After making any changes to the IP settings, click “Apply” to apply and save any changes. Refreshing the browser page to rescan the network may be necessary after doing so.
When the Slave Only mode is “On,” Infinity Link Gateway listens for an external PTP clock and can act as a slave. This is the recommended mode. If an external PTP clock is not available, Infinity Link Gateway can be set as an arbitrary (non-GPS) Grand Master clock.
Adjust the front panel brightness, dim level, and display timeout to your liking.
Link Screen
Each of the available OPUS codecs - a total of eight or sixteen depending upon licensing - is configured in this menu.
Maintenance Screen
The Maintenance menu is used to upload new system firmware, choose between installed firmware versions, and upgrade the unit from 8 channels to 16 channels. It also provides a means by which to perform a soft reboot of the unit, execute a self-test, perform a factory reset (with or without retaining the unit’s IP address), or download a log file if instructed to do so by customer support.
The current user license is displayed on this screen along with a field into which additional licenses may be entered when adding features or codecs.
Important! _T_he current license can also be completely disabled from this screen, but doing so will also remove the license number. If you do not have access to the license number by any means other than the remote interface itself, disabling the license can result in an unusable unit.
