General information
The IP Audio encoder and decoder are controlled trough a build in WEB Server and a standard
web browser is used to monitor their status or to make some adjustments. To operate the devices
you need to know their IP Address. In case you are not aware of the IP Addresses and how to open
the WEB interface, please refer to “Appendix A - DB9000-TX Quick User Guide” on page 7 and
“Appendix B - DB9000-RX Quick User Guide” on page 11.
This conguration allows two types of applications:

POINT TO MULTI-POINT AUDIO TRANSMISSION
IMPORTANT NOTE: One DB9000-TX can send audio to maximum ten DB9000-RXs.
However, in order for stable connectivity to be guaranteed, the recommended number of clients
is 8.
DB9000-TX AND DB9000-RX SET-UP
Prior to implementing the below written adjustments, the following requirements should be
fullled:
• DB9000-TX must have a static IP address;
• If the device is placed behind a router, you will have to make sure that the Stream Server
Port is properly NAT forwarded;
• DB9000-RX may have a dynamic IP address;
• DB9000-RX should have access to DB9000-TX over the network (Internet or LAN).

DB9000-TX STREAMING AUDIO SERVER SET-UP
1. Go to Conguration> IP Audio;
2. Choose the preferred audio signal input;
3. Assign Encoder + Sample rate and the desired Signal quality. The combination of these
parameters will dene the required minimum bandwidth of your network connection;
4. Then in Stream Settings section – specify the Port to be used and the Maximum supported
connections;
5. Preferably change the Name of the stream to identify you server easily;
6. Press [Save] to save the applied changes.
For detailed information and instructions on how communication with the DB9000-TX can be
established, please refer to “Appendix A - DB9000-TX Quick User Guide” on page 7.

DB9000-RX IP AUDIO CLIENT SET-UP
1. Go to Conguration> IP Audio;
2. In IP Audio Client section – URL of the DB9000-TX Server should be specied. The
URL is a mandatory requisite needed in order for a connection with the server to be
established. The URL could be compound of DB9000-TX’s IP Address and Server Port, ex.
192.168.120:5000;
3. Choose the preferred decoder, prebuffer and specify buffer timeout. The decoder set in
the DB9000-RX must match the encoder specied in DB9000-TX;
4. If needed, set new gain adjustment settings;
5. From the Source priority Section set the priority of the IP Audio Client;
6. Press [Save] to save the applied changes;
7. Apply the same settings to all IP Audio clients to be used in the conguration.
For detailed information and instructions on how communication with the DB9000-RX can be
established, please refer to “Appendix B - DB9000-RX Quick User Guide” on page 11.
