  • Page 2 Important Updates for Firmware v.1.6.72 RPTP 104 1. From the 31 March 2011 Tieline has discontinued support for the Voice G3 algorithm. As a result it has been omitted from this v.1.6.72 firmware release and all codecs purchased after this date. Codecs with firmware v.1.6.72 or higher can connect to G3 codecs running older firmware versions, but will have to use an algorithm other than Voice G3.
