Note that Beacon's IPv4 address must be a unique address that matches the subnet of your AoIP network.

To configure the Beacon server, it is recommend that you follow the instructions on the VIP Beacon and Invitation Server page in the VIP manual. The VIP manual can be found from the Infinity Web Portal, found here: https://success.telosalliance.com/telos-infinity-web-portal
