Gateway and Gateway 4 Manual v1.2

Configure Multicast Client Programs
Supports 1 or 2 multicast client streams being received
Supports up to 8 different multicast client streams in Gateway 8,
and up to 16 different multicast client streams in Gateway 16
Important Notes: Before you commence program configuration please note:
· Ensure all connection related settings like the port, algorithm, bit rate (etc) match
on both multicast server and client programs or they will not connect successfully.
· You cannot edit a program when it is currently loaded in the codec.
· Lock a loaded custom program or multistream program in a codec to ensure it
cannot be unloaded by a codec dialing in with a different type of program. For
example, if a multistream program is not locked it will be unloaded by a mono or
stereo call.
· Some drop-down menus and settings may be greyed out intentionally depending on
features available.
· It is possible to save a program at several points throughout the program wizard
and use default settings to save configuration time.
· Always dial the multicast server codec connection first before connecting multicast
client codecs.
· Multicast client codecs will display return link quality (LQ) only. The Return reading
represents the audio being downloaded from the network locally. Multicast server
codecs do not display LQ readings.
· The default UDP audio port setting is 9000 for the first multicast, 9010 for the
second multicast and 9020 for the third multicast, and so on. E.g. if a client codec
wishes to receive multicast audio stream 2 then it must use audio port 9010. Default
Tieline Audio Stream ports are outlined in Default Program Ports.
· Use firmware higher than 2.8.xx in the Bridge-IT, Genie and Merlin families of codecs to
enable auxiliary data.
· It is not possible to connect to a G3 codec and receive multicast IP audio streams.
· To copy multicast client programs onto multiple codecs see Backup and Restore
Functions.
1. Open the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI and click Connect in the Menu Bar, then select Program
Manager to launch the Program Manager panel.
2. Click the New Program button to open the wizard and:
· Click in the text box to name the new program.
· Click the Mix drop-down arrow to associate a custom matrix mix with the program if required.
· Select Multicast Client to configure a multicast program, or if you want to use an existing
program as a template, select this option. Then click Next.
