2.4 – Audio Setup
Audio setup of the InBox and OutBox can be done in various ways but all will involve setting up transmit and receive bundles
by passing parameters to and from the device using SNMP
1 . Attero Tech provides the Control Center application for control
and configuration of all InBox and OutBox products, as well as general SNMP control of compatible CobraNet devices. This
application allows quick and easy setup of transmit and receive bundles and related parameters. For details on the
parameters, refer to the Control Center User Manual.
2.5 – Transmit Bundle Setup
When configuring a transmit bundle, keep in mind that for an InBox X2, only transmitter submap channels 1 and 2 are
available. Sending a bundle with any other channels will result in a channel being transmitted with no audio content. When
using the InBox X2, it is recommended that a single bundle be used for bandwidth efficiency. The bundle should contain
both active channels and the subcount for that bundle should be set to 2. This will cause the bundle to take up as little
bandwidth as possible. For the InBox R8, a single bundle utilizing all the outgoing channels is the most efficient.
2.6 – Receive Bundle Setup
When configuring a receiver bundle, the OutBox X2 only utilizes two receiver submap channels. Thus only a submap value
set to 33 and 34 will produce any output. The two channels can come from the same or different bundles, and it does not
matter how many audio channels are actually received in the bundle as the unused audio can be ignored.
1 SNMP stands for Simple Network management protocol and is a standard protocol used over Ethernet to control networked
devices.
