1How to Use the Documentation

Overview of this User Manual

Use this manual to learn how to:

·Connect the codec to an IP network and configure peer-to-peer, multicast or multi-unicast

connections.

·Configure the codec over aLAN or USB cable.

·Adjust audio and other settings within the codec.

·Configure automatic SDHC card backup.

Please read Getting Connected Quickly for an overview of how to configure the codec using

'programs' to store connection settings.

Manual Conventions

Warnings: Instructions that, if ignored, could result in death or serious personal injury

caused by incorrect operation of the equipment. These must be observed for safe operation.

Cautions: Instructions warning against potential hazards, or to detail practices that must be

observed for safe operation and to prevent damage to equipment or personnel.

Important Note: Information you should know to connect and operate your codec

successfully.

Typographic Conventions

·Codec software elements are in Arial bold, e.g. Contacts

·Codec hardware elements are in bold Capitals, e.g. KEYPAD

Help Button

Press the (information/help) button on the codec when navigating codec menus to display a

help dialog on the LCD screen suggesting actions which can be performed from the current menu

item.

2Warnings and Safety Information

THUNDERSTORM AND LIGHTNING WARNING:

DO NOT USE Tieline codecs during thunderstorms and lightning. You may suffer an injury

using aTieline codec, or any device connected to aLAN connection during athunderstorm.

This can lead to personal injury and in extreme cases may be fatal. Protective devices can

be fitted to lines, however, due to the extremely high voltages and energy levels involved in

lightning strikes, these devices may not offer protection to users, the Tieline codec and

equipment connected to the codec.

Secondary strikes can occur. These secondary strikes are induced by lightning strikes and

also produce dangerously high currents and energy levels. You only need to be near an

object struck by lightning to lead to personal injury or damage to equipment. e.g. if located

near alighting tower at asports facility, water features and drains on golf courses you may

be affected by these secondary strikes.

Damage to personnel and Tieline codecs may occur during thunderstorm, even if the codec

is turned off but is connected to the system or the power.

ANY DAMAGE TO ATIELINE PRODUCT CAUSED BY LIGHTNING or an ELECTRICAL

STORM WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. Use of this product is subject to Tieline's

SOFTWARE LICENSE and WARRANTY conditions, which should be viewed at

www.tieline.com/support before using this product.

Disclaimer

Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this manual we are not responsible for

any errors or omissions within it. The product specifications and descriptions within this manual will

be subject to improvements and modifications over time without notice, as changes to software and

hardware are implemented.

3Glossary of Terms

AES/EBU

Digital audio standard used to carry digital audio signals between devices.

AES3

Official term for the audio standard referred to often as AES/EBU.

DNS

The Domain Name System (DNS) is used to assign domain names to IP

addresses over the World-Wide Web.

DSCP

The Differentiated Services Code Point is afield in an IP packet header for

prioritising data when traversing IP networks

Fail over

Method of switching to an alternative audio stream if the primary connection is

lost.

GUI

Acronym for Graphic User Interface

ISP

Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are companies that offer customers access to

the internet

Internet Protocol; used for sending data across packet-switched networks.

LAN

Local Area Network; agroup of computers and associated devices sharing a

common communications link

Latency

Delay associated with IP networks and caused by algorithmic, transport and

buffering delays.

Multicast

Efficient one to many streaming of IP audio using multicast IP addressing.

Multi-unicast

Amulti-unicast program (also known as multiple unicast) can transmit asingle

audio stream with common connection settings to anumber of different

destinations.

Network Address

Translation

(NAT)

Asystem for forwarding data packets to different private IP network addresses

that reside behind asingle public IP address.

Packet

Aformatted unit of data carried over packet-switched networks.

Port Address

Translation

(PAT)

Related to NAT; afeature of anetwork device that allows IP packets to be

routed to specific ports of devices communicating between public and private IP

networks.

QoS (Quality of

Service)

Priority given to different users or data flows across managed IP networks. This

generally requires aService Level Agreement (SLA) with aTelco or ISP.

Redundancy

Choosing an alternative audio stream to use if aprimary audio connection is

lost.

RTP

Astandardized packet format for sending audio and video data streams and

ensures consistency in the delivery order of voice data packets.

SDP

SDP defines the type of audio coding used within an RTP media stream. It

works with anumber of other protocols to establishes adevice’s location,

determines its availability, negotiates call features and participants and adjusts

session management features.

SIP

SIP works with amyriad of other protocols to establish connections with other

devices. It is used to find call participants and devices and is the method used

by most broadcast codecs to connect to competing brands of codec for

interoperability.

SLA

Service Level Agreements (SLAs) acontractual agreement between an ISP and

acustomer defining expected performance levels over anetwork

STL

Studio to transmitter link for program audio feeds.

TCP

TCP protocol ensures reliable in-order delivery of data packets between a

sender and areceiver. Its two functions include controlling the transmission

rate of data and ensuring reliable transmission occurs. Generally not well-

suited to streaming live audio because buffering (latency) is employed to

ensure data packets are received in order

TTL

Time-to-Live is the setting used in multicast servers to ensure data packets

8Bridge-IT Manual

have afinite life and don't cause congestion over networks.

UDP

The protocol most commonly used for sending internet audio and video

streams. UDP packets include information which allows them to travel

independently of previous or future packets in adata stream. In general, UDP is

amuch faster and more efficient method of sending audio over IP.

Unicast

Broadcasting of asingle stream of data between two points.

WAN

Wide Area Network; acomputer network spanning regions and/or countries to

connect separate LANs
