For our example app, an analog Livewire Node will be our audio source, with the configura-

tion shown below. The stream is named ‘Radio’ and given LW channel number 1439.

We’ve already set up the browser with tabs pointing to the Node, iPort, and Steamcast

server. So, now we’ll click on the tab that brings up the iPort stream configuration screen.

Here, we will configure and enable two streams, one for MP3 and another for AAC, both

being fed from the same Livewire source.

In Global Options we have already set the iPort to be in the 16-channel encode-only

mode, rather than the usual 8x8 codec mode. The LW source is entered to correspond to

the Node settings. The Remote IP number and port is entered to be those for the streaming

server. In this case, the server is running on a PC with IP number 192.168.1.107. The port

is 9800, which is what the server is expecting from its configuration.
