The HTML5 Quick Connect Web-GUI is designed for simple peer-to-peer connections and non-technical users. It has a reduced feature-set and allows users to:

 

1.Load existing programs in a codec via the Program Loader panel and then dial via the Quick Connect panel.

2.Use the Quick Connect panel to create and dial a simple peer-to-peer connection using IP/SIP, ISDN or POTS.

 

By default, the HTML5 Quick Connect panel is enabled in each codec. To disable this feature:

 

1.Navigate to Settings in the main HTML5 Toolbox web-GUI and click to open the Options panel.

2.Click the Edit button and then click to deselect the Quick Connect Enabled check-box.

 

 

Launching the HTML5 Quick Connect Web-GUI

1.Type the codec IP address in your web-browser.

2.Click to launch the HTML5 Toolbox Quick Connect Web-GUI.

3.Enter the authentication Password for the codec and click OK.

4.The panels in the Quick Connect Web-GUI will automatically be displayed.

 

 

Loading and Unloading an Existing Program

If programs are saved in the codec they are displayed in the Program Loader panel.

 

1.Click to select a program in the Program Loader panel and click the Load button to load it in the codec.

 

2.The Check-box symbol appears next to the program name to confirm it has been loaded and the Load button changes to an Unload button.

 

To unload a program click the Unload button.

 

Dial a Loaded Program

1.Click the Connect button in the Quick Connect panel to dial a loaded program. Note: After connecting, the Connect button changes to a Disconnect button.

 

Disconnect a Loaded Program

1.Click the Disconnect button in the Quick Connect panel.

 

2.Click Yes in the confirmation dialog to disconnect the connection.

 

Dial Peer-to-Peer over IP with Quick Connect

 

 

1.Click the drop-down Transport menu arrow in the Quick Connect panel and select IP.

 

2.Click the drop-down Algorithm menu and select an algorithm.

 

3.Click the select the appropriate Sample Rate and Bit Rate for the connection. Note: If only one sample rate is available this will be automatically selected.

 

4.Click in the Destination text box and enter the IP address of the destination codec.

 

5.Click the Connect button to dial.

 

Dial Peer-to-Peer over ISDN with Quick Connect

 

 

1.Click the drop-down Transport menu arrow in the Quick Connect panel and select ISDN.

 

2.Click the drop-down Algorithm menu and select an algorithm.

 

3.Click the drop-down B Channels menu and select the number of channels required for this connection.

 

4.Click to select the appropriate Sample Rate for the connection.

 

5.Click in each Destination text box in turn to enter the ISDN number for each B Channel.

 

6.Click the Connect button to dial.

 

 

Dial Peer-to-Peer Over POTS with Quick Connect

 

 

1.Click the drop-down Transport menu arrow in the Quick Connect panel and select POTS.

 

2.Click the drop-down Algorithm menu and select an algorithm. The connection bit rate is configured automatically. Note: G5 POTS modems initially attempt to establish a link at the lowest Max Bit rate setting configured in the two modules being connected. If the POTS line doesn't support this bit rate, the modems will attempt to connect at the highest possible bit rate to suit the prevailing line quality at each end of the link.

 

3.Enter the phone number in the Destination text box.

 

 

4.Click the Connect button to dial.

 

Monitoring PPMs

The default Tieline G5 audio reference scale displayed on the PPMs is -38dBFS to 0dBFS when you connect to a Tieline G5 codec, e.g. Merlin, Genie, Bridge-IT and ViA codec families.

 

Set audio levels so that your audio peaks average at the nominal 0vu point indicated on the PPM meters. This represents a program level of -18dBFS (+4 dBu) leaving the codec. Audio peaks can safely reach 0dBFS without clipping, providing 18dB of headroom from the nominal 0vu point. Note: the audio metering reference scale is automatically adjusted by default when connecting to a Commander or i-Mix G3 codec and there is less headroom (14dB).

 

The audio reference level settings in the codec are:

 

 

 

Mono and Stereo PPM Metering

When connected with a mono program the codec will display a mix of inputs 1 and 2 on PPM1. PPM 3 displays the level of return audio.

 

 

When connecting with a stereo program, the codec displays audio on PPM1 and 2 for inputs 1 and 2 and PPM 3 and 4 for the return audio.
