2) Within the firewall, create a port-forward rule that forwards any TCP/UDP
requests received on 173.194.121.48:6301 to 192.168.1.100:655.
3) Within the Link-Master’s Network configuration page, configure the external
IP and audio/data port:
4) Within the remote unit’s Linking configuration page, configure the Link-
Master’s external IP and management port:
5) Repeat step 4 for each LQ unit to be part of the group.
6) For every Link-Member within the Link-Group that can be made externally
reachable, navigate to the device’s Network configuration page and
configure the external IP and audio/data port as in step 3 (optional).
These configuration steps will ensure basic connectivity within the Link-Group. For
more detailed information see 7 Internet connectivity.
14.11 Why does the Link-Master need to have a static IP
address?
The Link-Master needs to be statically addressed in order to prevent its IP address
from changing. A changed IP address will result in loss of connectivity with the rest
of the Link-Group.
Note: Another alternative is to maintain DHCP addressing but use the Address
Reservation feature available in most managed routers. This will instruct the router
to allocate a specific DHCP address to an LQ device identified by its MAC address.
The unit’s MAC address can be retrieved through the LQ's front panel menu
.
14.12 What are the consequences if connection to the
Link-Master is lost?
• Loss of audio. When connecting over the Internet, it is usually the case that
the Link-Master is the only device that is reachable by the other units in the
group. If this is the case, all audio will be routed through the Link-Master,
creating the possibility of a single point of failure. To prevent this, be sure
to facilitate connectivity between the LQ units in the group through port-
forwarding, described in 7 Internet connectivity.
