Setting Up a Link

To configure a link, set the operating state of a codec to Enable in the Link menu.

Next, connect local audio from the Infinity System to Link. The Input Channel/Address field will be set by the Dashboard software in the next step. However, a “friendly” name should be entered into the Input Label field and will appear in Dashboard.

Once the Input Label is set, open Dashboard Basic or Advanced. Navigate to the Output pane and type the Input label into the search box. Drag and drop the output into the Virtual Port or Group you wish to send via Link. It will automatically be assigned a Livewire+ AES67 channel number. Link will also accept multicast addresses in this field.

Type an available Livewire Channel or Multicast Address into the Output Channel/Address field. Add a label to describe the audio source you are receiving in the Output Label field. Below is an example of a fully filled-in Audio Configuration section.

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.

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.
