FreeSpeak Edge | User Guide
The color of the detected transceiver indicates
Blue Transceiver is available and ready for use
Amber
Transceiver is configured, but not connected to the matrix. A
download is required
Green Transceiver is connected to the matrix
Gray
Transceiver is connected to another matrix, but it is not
online
Purple Transceiver is already connected to another matrix
From the AoIP Devices screen, use the up and down arrows to add or remove matrices from
your current configuration. Apply Map to Matrix when you are done. This begins the
connection process of the transceiver to the matrix.
Note: The connection process will take up to 5 minutes.
The status LEDs on the transceiver indicate stages of the connection process:
Status Indicator 1
White flashing No IP connection to the matrix (30 secs)
Purple flashing IPT connected, no PTP lock (up to 3 min)
Amber flashing PTP locked, no RF sync (1 minute)
Solid amber Transceiver is online and ready for beltpack connection
3.9.2 Offline configuration
In most cases, you will configure your transceivers by using the 'Detect IP TCVR' function,
which is the preferred method of operation. There is, however, an offline method that allows
you to add the transceivers before connecting to the network (offline configuration).
Use the + IP TCVR button to add transceivers to your configuration offline. For an Edge
transceiver you must select FS-Edge Transceiver from the Type dropdown list.
To connect the matrix and the transceiver, input the transceiver mDNS Hostname or IP address
into transceiver Properties and click Apply Map to Matrix.
Note: The mDNS Hostname is on the label on the back of the Transceiver.
Note: Using mDNS hostname means that even if the IP Address is changed, the matrix will
automatically re-connect with the new IP without an Apply Changes being required.
To remove a transceiver from your matrix configuration, use the - IP TCVR button (Apply Map
to Matrix).
