2.2 Connectivity
2.2.1 Network
E-line requires at least one Ethernet connection for configuration and audio streaming. Configuration is performed
using the provided software and using a single Ethernet cable.
• A standard-straight through Ethernet CAT5/6 network is required for connectivity through a network switch.
• A crossover CAT-5/6 cable is required for direct connectivity to a PC/Mac machine that doesn’t support
auto-switching.
E-line devices utilize “Zeroconf” technology for plug&play integration.
- If a DHCP server is present at boot up, the E-line will automatically acquire an IP address
- If no DHCP server is present at boot up, the E-line will use the Link Local Address (Auto IP) P 169.254.0.xxx
Network requirements:
• Audio Video Bridging systems requires special AVB enabled network switches ( so called AVB bridge) to
enjoy the advanced features of AVB such as the Stream Reservation Protocol. Such AVB bridge will have
the capability to shape the traffic of the network such that any AVB traffic has higher priority.
• In the mean time, standard 100/Gigabit network switches will still allow audio and control streaming without
any issue. To insure audio streaming without audio dropouts, we recommend that you install E-line on a
dedicated Ethernet network (at least 100Mbit) for safety reason. On Ethernet networks with low traffic
(bandwidth subscription), it’s possible to share the network with other network devices.
