Pairing ports for dual-port calls

In a dual-port call, the codec performs its own inverse multiplexing on two channels so that a
call can achieve twice the bandwidth of a single channel. A pair of inverse multiplexing ports
on the MAX unit connects to the codec. The pair includes a primary and a secondary port.
Because the unit places the two calls in tandem and clears the calls in tandem, it considers
them a single call.
Creating a dual-port configuration does not prevent you from dialing any other type of call
from the primary host port of the pair, or from using either port for receiving any type of call.
Pairing ports does not disable RS-366 dialing at the secondary port.
Enabling dual-port calls
If you are configuring the interface to an older model codec that does not support inverse
multiplexing, you can pair two inverse multiplexing ports to provide double the bandwidth for
the videoconferencing call. A dual-port call requires a dual interface on the codec. The
following configuration pairs the first two inverse multiplexing ports in a Host/AIM6 card:
1
2
3
4
