Appendix C - WAVE Conguration
WAVE (Wide Area Voice Environment) from Twisted Pair Solutions provides the glue to tie
together your various IP voice communications endpoints. The AudioMate 360 family of IP
voice gateways works seamlessly with WAVE to extend your communications options and
enhance interoperability among disparate devices.
Multicast groups are preferred for WAVE installations to allow many soft consoles to
participate in the same communication channels without increasing the bandwidth
consumed by each console. Deploying multicast links to each AudioMate 360 device allows
for seamless failover if that option is implemented in WAVE. Any participating media server
listens to the multicast streams and picks up where the failed media server dropped off.
However, in some networks the only option is unicast transmission. This forces the
AudioMate 360 units to be configured as point-to-point trunk links and prevents their
streams from being picked up automatically by a failover server. In other words, if the target
media server fails at the other end of the point-to-point pipe the packets have nowhere to
go. As long as these limitations are acceptable, unicast point-to-point links can be employed.
Multicast Conguration
AM
Open a web browser and point it to the management IP address of the AudioMate
360 device to be configured. Log in with user admin and password password or the
credentials that you have configured.
Under Configuration click Global.
In the field RTP Remote IP type the desired multicast group address, following the
guidelines in Appendix B. Addresses in the 239.255.x.y block are recommended for
private local area networks. For RTP Remote Port and RTP Local Port type a port number
between 16384 and 65534; both fields should be identical numbers. For Codec select
G.u; if this network segment will not support about 100kbps streams then select GSM.
Click the button Update Configuration to save your changes.
WAVE
Channels (WaVe 3)
Log in to WAVE. Click Channels -> Channels, then click the Add Channel button. From the
dropdown listbox select Multicast Trunk, then click the Next button. In the Name field type
a meaningful name. Tab to the Description field and type a meaningful description. Select a
group from the Group listbox.
In the IP address field type the exact same multicast group address that you configured into
the AM360 above. Tab over to the Port field and type the exact same port number that you
configured into the AM360 above. Check the box labeled Use the same IP address and port
as ‘Audio Receive’. In the Codec listbox select the same codec as was selected in the AM360
above; if you choose GSM then set the Scale to 1. All remaining settings may be left at their
defaults.
Click the Save button to save your changes. If there are no other configuration changes to
be entered, click the button Commit Changes.
