G711 or G722 on line 2. This is due to the fact that in MPEG mode there is one sole codec, operating according to the settings of line 1. In MPEG mode, line 2 is enabled only as an additional communications channel for this codec. PRODYS...
Therefore, a call from a codec that does not work in one of these two modes cannot be syncronised. • NET: Selection of the ISDN protocol if the version of terminal adapter allows it. PRODYS...
When the equipment is in automatic MPEG mode and a call is received on one or both lines, the equipment will look for the encoding mode of the incoming call(s), but if it is G711, the equipment operates directly in this mode because it is inmediately detected. PRODYS...
