Overview
5.1.1
How to configure the MB2400
The settings for both modes of work are similar.
First, you must configure the console at the radio
station, entering the destination IP address where the
MB-2400 will transmit. To establish a direct
connection to the Studios, the radio must have a
fixed IP address. Otherwise, you can use an Internet
streaming server to distribute the streaming (eg
www.alsolnet.com).
1) Connect the MB2400 to the LAN at the
Studios. You can temporarily disconnect a
PC from the network and connect the
Ethernet cable to the MB2400.
The IP address of the radio station
network (must be a fixed IP).
Upon reaching destination, the reporter connects the
MB2400 to Internet (to a LAN) and turn on the
streaming (pressing the button Streaming) starting
the audio transmission. This operation can be
confirmed with the headphones opening the knob
TCP/IP. If the voice is listened, it means that the
connection was successful.
5.1.2 How to configure the reception at
the Studios
At the Studios you must use a PC connected to the
Internet to receive the streaming and send it to on-air
console.
2) Open the knob TCP/IP to listening on
headphones the announced IP address. It is
something like 192.168.0.XXX. Write down
this value.
When working with streaming server:
3) From another PC in the network, open an
Internet browser and enter the IP address
(192.168.0.XXX). This will open the screen
of the computer's internal MB2400.
When working with direct IP:
