Ports and Codec channels: An Overview
Depending on your setup you could be using one or two
Ports
and one or two
Codec channels
. The number of ports and codec channels that you will require is
dependent on the profile that you are using to connect with.
24.13.1.
Manual Default Profile Connections
If you are connecting using manual default profiles, you do not physically
have to ‘check’ the
Port
and one
Codec channel
in the
Connection Setup
section of
Tool
Box
software. This will automatically occur when you
commence the dialing process from the codec. This is also the case for any
connection where the
Any
setting is the algorithm setting in
Connection
Setup
.
For example, if you are connecting using a mono profile, one
Port
and one
Codec channel
will be used to connect over either a POTS line, ISDN B
channel, IP or GSM connection. If you are using stereo or dual mono
profiles, two ports and two
Codec channels
for each connection will be used.
24.13.2.
Connection Manager Connections and Custom Profiles
It is always necessary to specify
Ports
and
Codec channels
in the
Connection
Setup
menu when you are using the Connection Manager to connect your
codecs. This is because these connections are made using custom profiles
and ports will need to be selected for custom profiles.
Important note:
If you copy manual default profiles into another profile,
you will need to physically select the
Ports
and
Codec channels
required
in
the
Connection Setup
menu.
24.13.2.1.
Using the Connection Manager
If you are not using manual default profiles to connect, ensure the
Port
and
Codec channel
settings on the non-dialing codec resemble the
settings on the dialing codec. Ensure you don’t select conflicting
Port
and
Codec channel
settings if you are configuring more that one connection.
