Cisco and Artel Switch and Network Configuration for AoIP / AES67 Networks
Below are shown some useful links for AoIP / AES67 network configuration, if using a Cisco SG350 switch for AoIP (which are only
recommended for very small systems) then please refer to the Cisco Auto Configuration guides or Cisco Manual Configuration guides./
For larger PTP based audio networking using Artel Quarra switches please refer to the Artel links below:

Artel Quarra Configuration Guide for AES67
https://www.artel.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Quarra-Configuration-Guide-for-AES67-TC-and-BC-v20-6-24.pdf
* In order to simplify configuration, a text based example configuration file can be uploaded for both the Cisco and Artel Quarra
Switches for use with AoIP/AES67 Network devices. These can be found on the Calrec FTP site at http://ftp.calrec.com as described
earlier and access the information in the Type R area of the site using Account: TypeR & Password: tYoarEdQ
The configuration files both allow the switch to operate in the 192.168.30/24 for Primary AoIP port and 192.168.31/24 Secondary
AoIP port address ranges and can be adapted as required.
Artel Switch Management Settings for AoIP / AES67 Networks
The Artel switch is used for AoIP/AES67 Interfacing and needs to have its Port Power Savings Configuration Properties disabled, this
is carried out in the Configuration>Green Ethernet>Port Power Savings page of the switch.
The Artel switch’s default IP address is 192.168.100.100 typing this into the address bar of the browser accesses the Log in screen.
The default Username is “admin” and there is no default Password, clicking on the ‘Sign in’ button gives access to the switch’s
configuration pages. A new Artel switch has its power saving feature disabled by default but it’s worth checking, to ensure this is the
case, if it isn’t then proceed as shown below:-
Deselect all the tick boxes as shown above on the Port Power Savings page of the switch and click on ‘Save’ to apply the changes.
ARTEL QUARRA SWITCH GREEN ETHERNET PROPERTIES PAGE
Then go to Maintenance > Configuration > Save start-up-config and click Save Configuration. This will save the currently running
settings that you have just configured as the switch’s startup configuration so that it loads whenever it is turned on or rebooted.
