Quickstart
This is a practical first-boot checklist to get a basic SRT ↔ UDP workflow running.
1) Find the device on the LAN
- Discover the IP address via mDNS/Bonjour on the local network.
- Open the web panel in your browser.
2) First login
- Log in to the web UI.
- Change default passwords after first access.
3) Network configuration
Recommended:
- Set a static IP outside the DHCP pool.
- Configure at least one DNS server (required for licensing refresh).
- If you have multiple NICs, keep Internet access on one interface and use others for dedicated LANs (e.g., multicast/headend).
4) SRT ports and NAT (if receiving from the Internet)
If you will receive SRT from remote sites over the public Internet:
- Choose a UDP port range for SRT listener connections (example: 5000–7000).
- Forward that UDP range on your router/firewall to the device IP.
- Ensure your public IP is reachable and not blocked by the ISP.
5) Create your first relay
Typical pattern:
1) Create an INPUT:
- Example:
SRT Listener (server side)
2) Create an OUTPUT:
- Example:
UDP multicast (for a headend LAN) or SRT Caller (to a remote receiver)
3) Link the OUTPUT to the INPUT and start the flow.
6) Quick validation
- Confirm the INPUT shows “connected/receiving”.
- Confirm the OUTPUT shows “running/sending”.
- Validate on the receiver side (decoder, IRD, headend, player) that the stream is present.
