IP-LQ: Is it possible to send the same audio from one LQ to multiple channels?
Question:
“I plan to use Port 1 on LQ#1 , running as 12KHz Tx to feed 2x other Rx LQs. There will be one LQ in location #1 and the other in location #2. They are all connected over the company WAN.
Is is possible to multicast to two different channels from 1 port?”
Answer:
Yes, this is possible with Multi Channel Support Enabled on the TX port (Ports>Port Settings in the web-based configuration tool (CCM)).
Normally when using LQ you place ports into the same channel. This provides a standard conference (3 way conversation) between all ports in the same channel.Once a port is placed in a channel it cannot be used in another channel.
Multi Channel Support allows you to put one port into different channels. This way the the two remote locations do not talk to each other but hear the same audio (like a fixed group set up in EHX).
Setup
Link LQ#1 , LQ#2 and LQ#3 up as per normal
LQ#1 port 1 has Multi Channel Support enabled. Note: if port 1 was already assigned to a channel, it will be removed from that channel when this option is enabled.
For channel 1 assign LQ#1 port 1 + LQ#2 port X (LQ#2 is in placed in remote location #1)
For channel 2 assign LQ#1 port 1 + LQ#3 port Y (LQ#3 is in placed in remote location #2)
