Call types:
Unicast Bidirectional This is a bidirectional point to point connection,
that is, both ends will transmit and receive audio simultaneously. It will be
necessary to check the upload and download bandwidth of the link.
Unicast Unidirectional Tx This is a unidirectional point to point
communication where only the end which makes the call will send audio.
Unicast Unidirectional Rx This is a unidirectional point to point
communication, where the calling end will be the receiver.
Multicast Tx This is point to multipoint communication in which the
calling end will join a multicast group as a transmitter.
Multicast Rx This is point to multipoint communication in which the
calling end will join a multicast group as a receiver.
The user can enter the IP address or can select an index from the Phone Book.
The encoder can be configured from this dialog as well.
It is also possible to discover automatically all Prodys IP codecs connected to the
IP network: In order to make easy the dialling operation over IP networks, a new
facility was included in the Dial window. This new tool allows the discovering of
the Prodys IP units connected to the network.
There are two options to discover the units on the network:
1.- The PortaNet sends a broadcast message. This is the default option and
it is not necessary to enable anything but the network must support
broadcast traffic.
2.- When the broadcast traffic is not allowed over the IP network still it is
possible to discover the units on the network. The “IP range search” checkbox
must be enabled and a range of IP addresses must be introduced for a quicker
search.
After selecting the address, to make the call just click on “Dial”.
