How to Configure POTS G5 Codec Connections
To configure the codec to dial using POTS for the first time:
1. Ensure that the correct country setting is configured in your codec via
Settings > System >
Country
. This ensures the correct settings are used by the codec when making POTS
connections.
2. When dialing between two Tieline codecs you normally only need to
Connect > POTS
.
Other more advanced settings can also be configured:
1. Select
Settings > Modules > [Select POTS Module]
to adjust POTS module settings
specific to your codec site. See
Configure POTS Module Settings
to adjust settings using the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI.
2. If you are connecting to non-Tieline codecs you may need to create an answering "Config"
via
Settings > Answering > POTS Answer Configs > [Select POTS Config]
, which will
determine the module used and relevant settings for answering a non-Tieline POTS call. See
Configure POTS Module Answering
the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI.
Important Note:
The codec has a single analog phone input shared by both modules
(default setting is
Off
). This phone input is used to monitor modem tones in
POTS Codec
mode and for receiving audio in
Analog Phone
mode.
Phone Input
settings can be
adjusted via
Settings > Audio > Phone Input
.
Making Analog Phone (Voice) Calls
All POTS G5 modules are capable of making analog voice calls. It may be necessary to make an
analog call to dial a telephone hybrid, or to use for communications, or because there is no Tieline
codec at the other end of the link. Remember analog voice calls are only 3 kHz audio quality. To
select analog phone answering mode in a POTS G5 module navigate to
Settings > Modules >
POTS > Answer Mode [Analog phone]
.
Important Analog Phone Note:
The codec has a single analog phone input which is
shared by two POTS G5 modules when installed. As a result, two concurrent analog
phone connections are not recommended because both connections share the same
input and audio will be accepted from the oldest active connection only.

POTS Module Settings
POTS settings in the
Module
menu determine how your codec behaves at a particular site. Other
answering-related settings are available in the
Answering
menu via
Settings > Answering >
[Select POTS Config
] if you are connecting to non-Tieline codecs over POTS.
Important Notes:
When
POTS (Ready)
is displayed throughout POTS menus it means
the POTS module has initialized and is ready to accept or make a call.
How to Configure POTS G5 Modules
