Codec Module Options
This section describes the module alternatives available for use in the
i
-
Mix
G
3
codec.
The
i
-
Mix
G
3
enables operators to literally build their own codec to suit the
conditions of each broadcast. Each codec features an on-board POTS and IP
capability and an expansion slot which accepts your choice of POTS, ISDN,
GSM, 3G (USB) or X.21 modules. This enables operators to simply select and
plug in the desired telecommunications medium that is optimally suited to the
broadcast location.
The
i

Mix
G
3
can be configured using the following module combinations:
The on-board POTS modem used with one analog telephone line.
The on-board POTS modem and one POTS module, each requiring
one analog telephone line at the remote site.
One ISDN module which requires one ISDN line with up to two B
channels
One ISDN line and one POTS module. ISDN can be used as the
primary link and the POTS line can be used as a backup program
feed.
A GSM module can be used independently or in combination with an
ISDN, POTS or other modules. GSM does not require any wiring as it
uses a GSM cell-phone connection.
Two GSM connections can be used, using one GSM module and a
GSM cell-phone connected to the
RS 232
port on the codec.
Two IP/Internet connections using either the UDP or TCP protocols,
via the Ethernet LAN connection port on
T
ieline
codecs.
A 3G/IP connection via a USB module connected to a 3G cell-phone
or USB modem.
A 3G connection via an HSDPA or EV-DO module.
Two X.21 connections via X.21 modules with D15 connectors.
The next section of this manual explains how to get connected quickly using the
manual default profiles supplied with your codec, depending on what modules
you have installed into your codec.
