Appendix C - WAVE Configuration
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 Configuration

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

In the field
RTP Remote IP
type the desired multicast group address, following the
guidelines in Appendix B. Addresses in the

RTP Local Port
type a port number
between
16384 and 65534; both fields should be identical numbers. For
