Configuring your SAS220 device
There are three ways to configure your SAS220 device.
•
From the web-interface (Streamit device portal)
•
Via a telnet client
•
Using the Streamit Terminal Program
In the rest of this chapter, each of the configuration methods will be described.
5.1
Configuration via web-interface
The web-interface is the recommended interface for configuring your SAS220 devices. When the web-
interface is used, you configure the settings of the device on the Streamit device portal. These settings
are then communicated to the device during the configuration update procedure.
Most of the time, the web-interface will be all you need to configure your SAS220 device. Depending
on your application though, this might not always be possible. To be able to use the web-interface the
following is required:
•
Internet connection for the SAS220 device
•
Internet enabled computer with web browser to access the Streamit device portal
When any the conditions above are not met, then you should use one of the other configuration inter-
faces.
5.1.1
Getting started with Streamit device portal
To get started with the Streamit device portal you need an account. This is very easy and free of
charge. Once you have an account, you can manage your Streamit SAS220 device and other devices
from Streamit on Streamit device portal.
When you own an account on the Streamit device portal, you can register your SAS220 device. Go
to Devices
→
Audio encoders and click on the button ’Add a new audio encoder’. Fill in the form that
appears, taking the following into account:
•
The serial number is found on the sticker located on the bottom of the device(see Fig. 3)
•
The location field is optional, but very useful for recognizing the device
Click on ‘Save’ to complete the registration. After registration, you can configure the SAS220 by editing
its details: Go to Devices
→
Audio encoders and click on the ‘Edit’ icon (a pencil) in front of the device
that you want to configure.
Fill in the form that appears, taking the following into account:
•
Choose the audio format that the encoder has to use. The choice here depends on what is supported
by the distribution server and/or client device (see 4.1.1)
•
You can choose whether both channels have to be encoded (stereo) or only one (mono).
For mono, only the left channel will be encoded. Make sure to always connect the
input at least to the left channel.
•
For the quality factor (when using Ogg Vorbis encoding), you can consult the lookup table in 4.1.2
for an overview of what nominal bitrates would be achieved for the different samplerate/quality-
factor combinations
