PortaNet User Manual

The available bandwidth over the selected network (IP, ISDN). This places
limitations on the bit-rate that can be selected and the amount of
compression. As an example: over ISDN it is not possible to send
uncompressed audio and the maximum bit-rate for any algorithm is 128Kbps.
The number of available channels: Number of bidirectional communications
which can be achieved. Note that over ISDN and IP, up to two independent
mono communications can be achieved.

PortaNet working as a “DUAL CODEC” over ISDN
When we select ISDN as the communications interface, it is possible to establish
two, totally independent MONO connections for each 64 Kbps B Channel. This
means that for each channel or line of communication (Line 1 or Line 2 as seen
by the PortaNet) it is possible to send an audio signal encoded with any of the
available codec algorithms. The menu offers the option to configure Encoder 1
and Encoder 2 separately with MONO signals on each channel. To avoid
incorrect configuration there are therefore certain restrictions while working with
the PortaNet as a “DUAL CODEC”:

Over IP, the second MONO communication is fixed to G722.
