Lock or Unlock a Program in the Codec

21.5
It is possible to lock a loaded custom program in a codec to ensure the currently loaded program
type, e.g. dual stereo, cannot be unloaded by a codec dialing in with a different program type, e.g.
stereo. It is essential to lock multi-stream programs in a codec or they will be unloaded by the first
call received. Only mono and stereo connections can be answered when the Lock Program feature
is disabled.
For example, if routing requirements require the codec at the studio to always connect using dual
stereo connections, simply load and lock this program in the codec. Another reason for locking a
program in the answering codec is to always use a particular jitter buffer or FEC setting.
Generally programs will be up or down-mixed by the answering codec to match the loaded program
type. In some situations incompatible program types will be rejected. A compatible program type can
still connect and specify different connection parameters such as algorithm preferences and bit rates
via session data.
