Connection No.
The Connection Manager will handle multiple connections, such as dual channel
ISDN, POTS or IP. It is also possible to purchase the option of using main and
standby
Failover profile
connections. An example of this could be an ISDN
connection with one or two ‘B’ channels in use and a POTS connection that can
be set as the
Standby
connection
.
The Connection Manager can detect a failure
on an ISDN ‘B’ channel and then automatically change over to the POTS circuit
to prevent a loss of program audio.
Up to two main connections
can be programmed into the
Connection Manager and two
standby connections. To select
a connection number click on the pull-down menu for
Connection No.
and select
the connection number you want to set. Then check the
Enable connection
box
which allows a user to set the options for the functions within the
Connection
Setup
tab. Prior to this the functions within this menu are ‘grayed’ out. Once
Enable connection
is checked the functions become active. If the connection you
are setting is a standby connection then also check the
Standby
box next to the
Enable connection
box.
Operational tip:
If the codec you are using will not be dialing (i.e. you will be receiving a call from
another codec) you must check the
Non Dialling
box which will then grey-out the
number display.
Important 3G Connection Tip:
When connecting over 3G, it is important to not confuse dialing into your 3G
network provider with dialing your IP connections. When connecting over 3G
you first connect to your ISP, and then you can subsequently dial the IP address
of the codec you wish to connect to. It is not possible currently to connect using
the Connection Manager over IP. This type of connection needs to be done
manually as a two step process. For more information please see the 3G Quick
Start section of this reference manual.

Bonding: An Overview
One of the new features of the
G
3
platform is the ability to have a
Bonded POTS
or
Bonded ISDN
connection. With this latest technology,
T
ieline
gives
broadcasters the ability to synchronize channels and create seamless stereo
broadcast capabilities over two analogue telephone lines. In addition, you can
bond up to four ISDN channels together to achieve greater connection
bandwidth for a mono or stereo audio broadcast. The bonded POTS and ISDN
connections that are available using
T
ieline
codecs are described in detail in the
following section.
