Step

 

by

 

step

 

1.

 

Configure

 

the

 

Zephyr

 

Xstream’s

 

CODEC

 

menu

 

as

 

it

 

will

 

be

 

used

 

when

 

connected

 

to

 

this

HOT TIP!

 

You will probably wish to include the CODEC settings in your Dial Setup. This allows you to 
dial a variety of locations, each with differing codec requirements, without the need for 
manual configuration. 

 

2.

 

(Optional)

 

If

 

you

 

wish

 

to

 

include

 

CODEC

 

settings

 

in

 

your

 

Dial

 

Setup,

 

you

 

may

 

wish

 

to

 

dial

 

the

 

location

 

in

 

question

 

now,

 

to

 

verify

 

that

 

your

 

codec

 

settings

 

are

 

correct.

  

If

 

you

 

choose

 

to

 

"include"

 

the

 

codec

 

settings

 

in

 

step

 

8,

 

the

 

current

 

codec

 

setting

 

will

 

be
