NB: Please note that it is possible to set the two IP addresses of the device network cards by entering them separated by a comma (e.g. 123.456.789.1, 123.456.789.3).
Local Port - Indicate the Local Port of the machine. The default value for this device is "5194".
NB: Please note that setting the two local ports of the device network cards available on the router is possible by entering them separated by a comma (e.g., 5194 and 4040).
E19 Resource ID - Optionally, insert the ID of the resource created under the Resource Editor module for this resource. This identification number is used, for example, to check the storage space usage of the resource.
RESOURCE PARAMETERS
Number of channels - Enter the input and output channels the resource provides. You can change the Number of channels at any time according to your needs. To add some, you only need to raise the Number of channels, while to decrease them, you must delete them one by one from the general form RESOURCE EDITOR with the [Delete Resource] button.
Router switching levels - Some routers allow one to define more commutation levels and choose what to switch (only audio, audio and video, only video, serial, time code, etc.). This option allows you to set these different levels. Etere supports three kinds of commutation – audio/video, serial, and time code – and it is possible to choose the level to activate for every type of commutation. For instance:
✓If the router has the video at level 1 and audio at level 2, enable levels 1 and 2 in the AUDIO/VIDEO panel;
✓If on the router any serial commutation is at level 4, enable level 4 in the SERIAL panel;
(Leave all levels checked if the router doesn't offer this possibility).
