In Closed Net plus ESC mode the aux port is not used.
In IBS modes the Aux port can be set to both `Intelsat` (using TS32 bit 1) and `Sync`
modes (selectable to use any of TS16, TS32 bits 1& 5-8, & TS48). In both modes a clock
is provided and the port can be used synchronously (with the clock), or asynchronously
(allowing the async data to be oversampled by the higher rate clock). In this oversampled
mode (as specified by Intelsat), the Baud rate is limited to approximately 25-33% of the
synchronous clock rate.
In IDR modes the Aux port provides either 32 or 64kbps data access in place of either
one or both of the 32kbps ADPCM audio channels. Typically this would be used
synchronously, but if required it could be used asynchronously and oversampled giving
maximum baud rates of approx 9600 Baud (in place of one audio channel) or 19200 Baud
(in place of both Audio channels).
