User Guide| FreeSpeak II for Eclipse HX
l When configuring an AES67 network, the network switch needs to have DiffServ Quality of
Service (QoS) switched on.
l Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping needs to be switched on, with at
least one IGMP querier.
l The network must be 1Gbps. A 100Mbps network will not support the amount traffic the
card can generate, and will not deliver the required PTP accuracy.
l The Multicast enabled switch must be ON.
l Try to keep the number of layer 2 hops between PTP master and slave (for example, IP
Transceiver) as low as possible (no more than three). If there are more than three, you
require switches that support PTP, for example transparent clocks or boundary clocks.
l Use DHCP (the default setting) for fast and easy setup of the devices. If no DHCP server is
present, IPTs will self-assign an IP address in the Link-Local range.
The screen below shows the E-IPA-HX card properties screen.
Note: If you need to use static IP addressing for your transceivers, see Static configuration in this
document.
6.8 Cabling the IP transceivers
Run standard Ethernet cable from one of the LAN connectors on the back of the E-IPA-HX card to
either LAN 1 or LAN 2 on the IP Transceiver via an IP switch.
