USER’S MANUAL
Section 8: LIVEWIRE TM – IP Audio 148
The following table provides the settings possible for choices Live Clock Priority and provides
some information on each of these settings:
0 (always slave) “STL” Unit will never be master and is only used with Ethernet radios.
0 (always slave) This unit will never be used as clock master.
3 (default) The usual and default setting for an 8x8 node.
4 (Secondary Master)
Nodes with this setting will be used as clock masters before
those set to 3.
5 (Primary Master)
Nodes set to this setting will be used as clock masters before
those set to 4.
7 (Always Master)
This forces a particular node to be clock master, even if another
node is currently clock master. If this mode becomes available
then the usual prioritization is used.
7 (Always Master) “STL
Snake”
This setting forces a particular node to be clock master. Use
only when two nodes are connected back to back without an
Ethernet Switch.
w
IMPORTANT!
Only a single node on a Livewire network should ever be set to 7 (Always Master). For this
reason we do not recommend using that selection.
Livewire Clock Mode
Provided for compatibility with older revisions:
IP low rate (default) – recommended setting
Ethernet – compatible with 1.x firmware
IP High rate – compatible with 2.1.x master
Receive Buffer Size
This setting determines the amount of buffering in the receiver. Buffering is needed to
compensate for jitter in network packet delivery. Usually the biggest source of jitter is a PC using
the IP driver. Real‐time performance varies a lot from one system to another; some computers
can provide very low timing irregularities and allow the receive buffer to be reduced to achieve
lower audio delay. The default setting is 100 ms.
