Answer Mode (Affects Answering Only)
Answer Mode determines how the selected module in the codec will be able to answer
incoming POTS line calls. Options include:
·
POTS Codec: allows the POTS G5 module to receive encoded audio data over a POTS
line.
·
Analog Phone: configures the POTS G5 module to receive a standard analog phone
call.
·
Disabled: disables the POTS G5 module from receiving a POTS Codec or Analog
Phone call.
Calls are answered based on the settings in Config 1 & 2 via Settings > Answering > POTS
Answer Configs. Adjustments to these Config settings are not normally necessary when
connecting between Tieline codecs. Default settings may need to be adjusted when connecting
to non-Tieline codecs over POTS (see
Maximum Bit rate (Affects Dialing and Answering)
The default setting for the Max Bitrate is 28800 (28.8kbps) and this only affects POTS Codec
calls. The range of the setting is 9.6kbps to 33.6kbps. Even if the line is capable of establishing
a connection at a higher bit rate, the Max Bitrate setting is the highest bit rate that will be
attempted.
G5 POTS modems initially attempt to establish a link at the lowest Max Bit rate setting
configured in the two modules being connected. If the POTS line doesn't support this bit rate,
the modems will attempt to connect at the highest possible bit rate to suit the prevailing line
quality at each end of the link.
