About the Streaming Audio Server

The Streaming Audio Server (SAS) feature lets you attach an audio source to an FXS port and use it as a streaming audio source device. If the unit has multiple FXS ports, either or both of the associated lines can be configured as an SAS server.

Use a media signal adapter or “music coupler” to connect an Ethernet cable from a media source to the FXS port. For example, the MC-9700 Music Coupler has been tested with ATA devices and is available at the following URL: www.neogadgets.com/cart/ cart.php?target=product&product_id=17&substring=music+coupler
