set in 802.1p tag. The Ethernet switch, upon reception
of such frame, uses the port default VLAN ID. Only
802.1Q priority information is used.
“DSCP Class of Service” is a standard describing the
tagging of IP frames with service information. Network
equipment can be set up to provide different forward-
ing delay and drop precedence depending on the service
information. Our defaults are compatible with most Eth

ernet equipment defaults for class of service Livewire
requires; you should not need to change them unless in

structed by Axia Support.
AES Synchronization and Clock
These setting determine two factors. The Livewire
Clock Master Priority setting determines the clock mas
-
tership options as described above for the Analog Node.
The AES node also permits additional synchronization
options given that it can be locked to an AES source, as
discussed below.
AES Sync Source & AES Master Timebase
If the AES sync input as Livewire master timebase
box is checked, then this node will use the AES source
fed to the input to chosen in AES sync source as the
clocking source for this node if and when it becomes
the Livewire master clock source. If this node becomes
the Livewire clock master (see above), then the entire
Livewire network will be synchronized to the AES sig-
nal fed to the selected input.
Of course Livewire clock mastership can change (as
described above) so the careful user will feed house AES
sync to multiple 8x8 AES nodes. In this case, those nodes
would all be set to priority 4 or 5 (see above) to ensure
that these nodes will be the source for the Livewire mas
-
ter clock whenever one of this group is available.
If AES sync source is set to Livewire 48 kHz then the
system will simply use the unit’s internal clock source if
and when it becomes clock master.
AES Output Sync
This sets the output sample rate and synchronisation
for this node’s AES outputs. It as two options:
Livewire 48kHz.
This would cause the AES outputs be synced direct
-
ly to the Livewire system clock and no sample rate
conversion will be performed. However the receiv
-
ing unit would need to have sample rate conversion
or to be synchronous to the Livewire system clock or
dropouts due to buffer over/under run will occur.
AES Sync in
In this case, the Livewire stream will be sample rate
converted to the clock stripped of the designated
AES input. This permits operation at rates other than
48 kHz, but only if an external source at that rate is
used.
