.
IX.6.1
UNICAST communications
The term UNICAST is used in the networking world to refer to the connection to
a single destination. Applied to the PortaNet, this is when a point-to-point
connection is created between two units bi-directionally.
IX.6.2
Using line 2
There are two different operation modes: SIMPLE and DOUBLE mode. In
DOUBLE mode, the unit will work as usual, that means, it can establish two
independent MONO communications via IP. In SIMPLE mode, the unit can
establish only one MONO or STEREO communications via IP.
In DOUBLE mode over IP, the following restrictions will be applied:
1.- Encoder 1 and Encoder 2 can only be set in MONO.
2.- Encoder 2 (assigned to line 2) can only be set in G722.
This configuration can be set both from the menu and from the Web Page.

MULTIUNICAST is available from version 5.2.1 onwards.
