Launching an External Patch Server via ICE Agent
The following instructions explain how to launch a Patch Server using an ICE Agent. Select from the following options to configure and run a Patch Server in auto, raw, or transcode mode. Run the selected command on the ICE Agent host machine.
Auto mode (default)
Automatically switches modes based on Patch Configuration, however, switching modes causes a brief service interruption.
To start a Patch Server in auto mode
Modify and run the following ICE Agent command:agent external \
-s https://<ICE_Server_FQDN>:443 \
-k <ICE Server API Key> \
patch --mode auto
Raw mode
Uses fewer computing resources, but is less compatible with some radio systems.
To start a Patch Server in raw mode
Modify and run the following ICE Agent command:agent external \
-s https://<ICE_Server_FQDN>:443 \
-k <ICE Server API Key> \
patch --mode raw
Transcode mode
Provides the best compatibility, but consumes more computing resources and does not pass Talker ID across patches.
To start a Patch Server in transcode mode
Modify and run the following ICE Agent command:agent external \
-s https://<ICE_Server_FQDN>:443 \
-k <ICE Server API Key> \
patch --mode transcode
