Hello again,<br>
<br>
For WRFU streaming, there are some networking needs - hope not
difficult:<br>
<br>
* if we put the streaming machine in the office, it needs a live
ethernet jack. There's a block of four jacks in the office's
northwest corner. Three are live, the fourth is unused and
currently shows no link:<br>
<blockquote>port "1", is available but not currently live.<br>
one (blue wire) feeds the automation computer (in the office)<br>
one (gray wire) goes through the wall to feed a 4-port switch in
the studio. DHCP on switch ports gives a net-192.168 address.<br>
another (blue wire) goes through wall to a spare wire on studio
floor - maybe for people with laptops etc. DHCP gives a net-10
address.<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
* The server needs a public-facing IP address and DNS name. <br>
<blockquote>Is this (imc-tech) the place to ask for an IP assignment
/ routing from some specific jack?<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
* WRFU.NET needs to get back on the map. So:<br>
<blockquote>1) Who administers the WRFU.NET domain? (It's
currently valid, held by Joker.com, expiring on Feb 3rd, with no
IP address assignments.) It would be natural for people to look
there, as well as on ucimc.org itself, to find the station.<br>
<br>
If a DNS entry gets assigned for the streaming server's assigned
IP, then how about a name like "stream.wrfu.net" for that? <br>
<br>
2) There should be a WRFU.NET / <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://WWW.WRFU.NET">WWW.WRFU.NET</a> web page with a blurb
about the station, a link to the IMC, and a "WRFU Stream" button.
This could be hosted on the streaming server itself, or elsewhere
(on the ucimc.org server?), whichever makes sense.<br>
<br>
3) In short I think there should be at least these entries in the
wrfu.net domain:<br>
WRFU.NET (zone and A record)<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://WWW.WRFU.NET">WWW.WRFU.NET</a> (another A record or a CNAME)<br>
STREAM.WRFU.NET (another A record or a CNAME)<br>
<br>
