We recommend using 128 kbps connections for this algorithm. (Related 
topic: Sample Rate) 

 

22.10.8.

 

MP2 Dual (For ISDN/X.21/IP use) 

Normally, when Mono/IFB profiles are used over POTS or ISDN, the two 
streams are bonded and bi-directional audio is sent simultaneously over each 
channel. MP2 streams cannot be bonded so the 

MP2 Dual

 algorithm allows 

Mono/IFB profiles to send audio via the MPEG layer 2 algorithm. It can also 
be used for dual mono profiles. We recommend using 128 kbps connections 

for this algorithm. 

 

22.10.9.

 

Voice G3  

Voice G3

 bandwidth is 7 kHz and is achieved with all bit rates of 9,600 bps or 

higher. The 

Voice G3

 algorithm is incompatible with the 

Voice

 algorithm 

supported in 

T

ieline

 

G1

 codecs and therefore they cannot be used together.  

 

Connection Tip:  

If you want to connect a 

COMMANDER

 

G

3

 to a 

COMMANDER

 

G

1

 codec or 

an 

i

-Mix 

G

1

 you will need to use the 

Music

 algorithm. This will allow you to 

use your codecs at a bit rate as low as 9,600bps. 

 

22.10.10.

 

Other 

This algorithm is specifically for when you are integrating 

T

ieline

 

G3

 codecs

 

with Comrex

®

20

 Vector, Matrix

®

 and BlueBox

®

 codecs. If you are 

connecting to a Comrex

®

 codec select its Music algorithm and select the 

Other

 algorithm on the

  T

ieline

 

G3

  codec. Bitrates of 26,400bps and 

9,600bps are not supported with this algorithm. If you try to connect at these 

bitrates an error message will be displayed on the codec 

LCD

 next to the 

connection you are using. In addition, the Line Quality at the remote 
Comrex

®

 codec will not be displayed on the 

T

ieline

 codec 

LCD

. 

  

22.10.11.

 

Transcriptor Tx 

This feature is only used in captioning-enabled codecs. Please see the 

T

ieline

 

G3

 codec captioning manual if you are using this feature.  

 

22.10.12.

 

Transcriptor Rx 

This feature is only used in captioning-enabled codecs. Please see the 

T

ieline

 

G3

 codec captioning manual if you are using this feature.  

 

22.10.13.

 

Any 

The 

Any

 setting will set the algorithm you connect with according to the 

default settings that have been set for POTS, ISDN and GSM connections
