Once you have entered the audio profile information click to configure the
WorldCast Equinox with this profile

If you decide not to use the newly selected audio profile click to revert back
to the old profile

Note:

The Equinox provides algorithm auto-detection for incoming G.711 calls on ISDN. If the Equi-

nox is not connected on an active call it will switch to G.711 if it answers an incoming G.711 (A-law or
u-Law) call

– irrespective of the default audio profile at that time. When the call is dropped the Equi-

nox will revert back to the default audio profile. It is possible that this switch to G.711 will cause arte-
facts in the audio.

6.6.3.1

Choosing your algorithm

To assist in choosing which algorithm is right for your application, please refer to the table

Also note that some IP overhead is required on top of the bit rate. Please see IP Bit rate calculator for
details.

Also note that any statements in this table have not been verified.
