MUS/RAN routes & broadcasting

[oceannative]

Hi all,

I need some clarification on MUS/RAN routes...

I have a switch with one music trunk in the music route... licensed for 20 music connections. Does broadcast have to be turned on for 20 callers to hear music or is it the licensing/conference loops that allow them to hear it?

For the RAN routes, I have several RAN routes with just one trunk member... my understanding is that means only one caller can be listening to the RAN at a time (see thread798-1369488) and that my two options are to add additional trunks to the RAN route and device, or to turn on broadcasting (if licensed). I'm not familiar with broadcasting, so I'm not sure I follow how this would work.

Can anyone provide further info on either of these two?

Thanks in advance!

your on the right track.. if you have broadcast lic you can increase the number of users (mcon) that listen to the ran.. post one trunk if you need help with that.. i'm not at work so i can't post mine to show an as built

Thanks John -- that makes better sense to me. We don't have the broadcase licenses yet, but I'm told there is a prompt for broadcast (yes/no) when the route is being built. Going to check the books today to study up! Thanks for the response...
