width which the audio channel uses is approximately 85kbps using
mode ‘0’ and the codec G711 at a sampling rate of 8KHz. Other rates
are available and used to suit your needs.
The control channel uses far less bandwidth and is not specified
at the time of writing.
Setting up the Controllers
Setting up the controllers is relatively straightforward. Detailed infor-
mation can be found on the manufacturers web site.
First of all there are five jumper leads inside to configure in each
controller. Four positions will depend on the make of your radio and
the fifth is to provide power to your microphone. After this you need
to set up the IP addresses for each unit. I used 192.168.2.200 and 201
for each controller.
The controllers each have a built-in web server, so having as-
signed them their own IP addresses and using port 80, log into them
and configure a few basic options like the FQDN (Fully Qualified
Domain Name) and the audio quality. There are more advanced
options, but they do not need to be set to get you going. Configuring
the controller at the remote end to have port 8091 for web operation
is ideal as the Web Switch will be configured for port 8090. As you will
see later, it too has a web server running for remote set up. The Web
Servers in both units have username and password control, so the
units are relatively safe from an outside attack.
Having set up the basics (by referring to the web site), the router
at the remote end needs to have its ports opened to enable the two
units to communicate and for you to be able to administer the con-
troller and the Web Switch.
The ports which need to be opened and the protocol used are:
8090 - Web administration of the Web Switch (TCP)
8091 - Web administration of the remote controller (TCP)
5060 - SIP in/out port (UDP)
11000 - Audio in/out port (UDP)
12000 - Command in/out port (UDP)
There is no need to open any ports on your router at home, as
all traffic is initiated by the controller in the shack, which then opens
outbound ports automatically in your router; it’s just inbound ports
which need to be opened at the remote end. You can now type an
FQDN like http://remote.dyndyns-net.org:8091 in your web browser
and be presented with the controller’s administration page.
