![]() ![]() ĭNS translates a unique name to a IP address. When your routers have not got a fix IP address from the ISP (Internet service provider) and the dynamic IP address changes every day, then it makes sense to use a DNS name because you cannot change the configuration of the Instreamer / Exstreamer every day. I would prefer port forwarding instead of DMZ. Note, if you enable DMZ, then port forwarding should be not active on the same router ! Over the public IP address 71.42.85.19 (from ISP) you can reach now the Instreamer. Everyone has then full access if the device isn’t password protected.įor example: The Instreamer has IP address 192.168.110.175. ![]() The unit is then excepted of the firewall security. To make a device reachable through a router you have usually two options on the router/firewall :ĭMZ allows you to put a whole unit to the internet, with all ports (UDP and TCP). With a port forwarding you open a port on the firewall/router and you specify where the router has to forward the internet traffic which is incoming on this port to the internal network. Usually most of the ports on routers/firewalls are closed for incoming internet connections. URL x : brtp://DNS name of the router in Instreamer’s network : forwarded UDP port on the routerĮ.g. URL x : brtp://router IP from the Instreamer’s network : forwarded UDP port on the router This opens the UDP port, where the Exstreamers (multiple !) can pull the stream from. Only on the first entry / line available !!! Don´t use line 2 –8 for this setting ! BRTP uses UDP, so you have to make a UDP port forwarding on the router in the Instreamer’s network. It does currently not work with the standard Exstreamer firmware !įor many customer’s this is probably the best solution, because it´s reliable and works with DNS names. On the Exstreamer´s network you have to open the firewall and to make a UDP port forwarding (see chapter Port forwarding), so that the Instreamer´s stream is forwarded from the firewall to the Exstreamer.ĭNS names are not supported in this mode, the Exstreamer´s router needs a static IP address !įor this mode you need Instreamer firmware 2.03 or higher and Exstreamer Streaming Client firmware 1.26 or higher. Or for Exstreamer Streaming Client firmware: 15000 (or higher, this defines the buffer/latency for the RTP stream) RTP : IP of the router on Exstreamer´s network : forwarded UDP port on the routerĮ.g. More information about the RTP /BRTP protocol are available on our RTP guide, downloadable from Barix site (on Downloads – Application Notes). ![]() Standard firmware under STREAMING–Init Sequence (e.g) : S= RTP over Internetįor a permanent STL connection from Instreamer to Exstreamer RTP or BRTP is probably the best solution from our view. If the router on the Instreamer´s network has no static IP address from the ISP, then you can use a DNS address :Įxstreamer Streaming Client firmware under URL x (e.g.) : ![]() On the Instreamer´s network you have to open the firewall and to make a TCP port forwarding (see chapter Port forwarding), so that the Exstreamer´s request is forwarded from the firewall to the Instreamer. Server Port : forwarded port on Instreamer´s router, e.g. Server IP address : IP of the Instreamer´s router (IP from ISP) e.g. Stream to : Internet Radio : 0.0.0.0 : 80 (this opens a local listen port where Exstreamer connects to) This method can be used with the standard Exstreamer firmware and also with the Exstreamer Streaming Client firmware. If the network is down for a while then the Exstreamer will automatically reconnect. The advantage of this method is that any PC or Exstreamer can make a permanent connection or only listen the stream on request using the TCP protocol. If you use DNS names then you have to define also a valid DNS Server.Īll the following information and a litte bit more are also in the "Howto Instreamer-Exstreamer" contained. ** HTTP link over internet ** RTP link over internet ** BRTP link over internetĭon´t forget to configure a valid gateway entry in the setup for the Instreamer and also the Exstreamer, that is required in all three modes over Internet ! The technology is perfect to stream permanent (even 24 hour/day service) audio from point A (Instreamer in the studio) to point B (Exstreamer on the transmitter/antenna).įor a Instreamer-Exstreamer connection in a local LAN environment there is a separate guide !įollowing you can find three different setups: In the last chapters you can also find information about port forwarding (opening firewall) on the router and DNS. This document describes some different methods to make a STL connection (Studio Transmitter Link) over internet with Barix Instreamer and Barix Exstreamer. 5 Port forwarding on routers / firewalls. ![]()
