Studio Link

Internet connection and transmission methods.

Introduction

Broadcasting to the studio can be established in different ways:

1. Digital audio via Internet
   • SIP call (full-duplex with minimal delay).
   • RTP streaming (transmission only).
   • Shoutcast/Icecast server.
2. Mobile phone call (Bluetooth).
3. Landline phone call (POTS).

In practice, once the Internet broadcasting options are configured, the user only needs to connect the MX2200 to the Internet and start the desired transmission, without additional configuration.

Broadcasting methods can be combined, either to have a backup (e.g. SIP + mobile) or as a complement (RTP streaming + private telephone communication with the studio).

Internet Connection

The MX2200 CODEC-MIXER can connect to the Internet in three ways. Only one connection can be active at a time, although it’s possible to configure more than one so that if one fails, the console automatically reestablishes the connection through another route.

Wi-Fi Connection

1. Connect antenna

   

   Connect the Wi-Fi antenna (provided) to a rear USB port labeled Wi-Fi.

   If it already recognizes a previously used network and the credentials are still valid, the connection will be automatic, making the following steps unnecessary.

2. Verify connection

   The Wi-Fi icon will appear at the top of the HOME screen. Initially, it will be shown in gray (no signal).

3. Access available networks

   Turn the encoder to SETUP, press to access, then select Wi-Fi.
   A list of available networks will be displayed.

   
4. Select and connect

   Choose the desired network and enter the password using the DATA ENTRY keypad.

   

   • If the password is valid, the network assigns an IP address (visible in SETUP/Wi-Fi). This may take a few seconds.
   • If incorrect, the IP will remain at 0.0.0.0 and you must repeat the procedure.
5. Confirm connection

   Once connected, the Wi-Fi icon on the main screen will show the signal strength.
   The equipment is ready for SIP calls, RTP streaming, or web server connection.

You can verify Internet access by connecting a mobile phone or laptop to the same Wi-Fi network and browsing the web.
It’s also possible to use a mobile phone in Hotspot mode, creating a Wi-Fi node to which the MX2200 will connect.

Public open networks
Always verify the network being used. On open networks with web login, the MX2200 may indicate “connection OK” even when there is no actual Internet access.

Ethernet Connection

1. Connect cable

   Using a standard UTP cable, connect the MX2200’s Ethernet port to the local network.

2. IP assignment

   By default, the console has DHCP enabled, so the router/switch will automatically assign an IP address.

3. Verify IP

   On the SETUP screen, confirm that a valid address has been assigned (different from 0.0.0.0).

To verify Internet access, connect a laptop to the same network and open a web browser.

4G/5G Connection

1. Connect USB modem

   Connect a 4G/5G USB modem (not provided) to the indicated rear ports.
   Use a USB extension cable of at least 30 cm.

   
2. Verify icon

   Once detected, the 4G icon will appear on the main screen.

3. Confirm operation

   The equipment is ready to initiate SIP calls, RTP streaming, or web server connection.

Do not connect the modem directly to the console: it can cause audio interference.
Always use the USB extension cable.
