POTS

What are my connection options over POTS?


Now Tieline offers the following profile options over POTS lines:

Mono Program

You can send mono program audio of up to 15 kHz between two codecs over a single analog phone line.

Mono/IFB – A mono program channel plus bi-directional off-air comms
You can send mono program audio of up to 15kHz between two codecs and also communicate off-air with the studio at the same time using two POTS modules in each codec.

Manual Default Stereo
You can send two channels of up to 15 kHz audio as a stereo program feed with two POTS modules in each codec.

Manual Default Dual Program
This profile has several options:
  1. In Dual Program, one studio codec can receive two different remote audio feeds from two different remote Tieline codec locations over two separate POTS links.
  2. One codec can receive a simultaneous POTS and ISDN feed from two different locations or a simultaneous POTS/IP at the same time.
  3. You can send a mix of all inputs to two locations at the same time over two POTS links in Dual Program Mix Mode. (or two POTS/ISDN or POTS/IP links)
Manual Default Bonded Mono

Dialing bonded mono connections has never been simpler. Previously, if dialing a bonded connection, a bonded profile needed to be selected. Now all you need to do is select the ManDflt MonoPgm  profile and if Tieline codecs detect two connections they will automatically be bonded to increase connection bandwidth.

 

What do I need for POTS?

To create a POTS connection you need two Tieline G3 codecs. We recommend either a TLM600 iMix G3 codec or a TLF300 Commander G3 desktop or rackmount codec. The codec at the remote site should be fitted with a TLPOTS POTS/PSTN module (supplied by Tieline). The codec at the studio should also be fitted with a TLPOTS POTS/PSTN module (also supplied by Tieline). Both units should be connected to a standard phone line via the jacks on the POTS module.

Plug in your audio and microphones and dial your connection (see how do i set up and dial a Mono POTS link?)

Many Tieline dealers provide a free demonstration of POTS. We recommend you contact your local Tieline dealer to arrange a free trial.

 

What do I need to make a two channel POTS connection including Stereo, Mono/IFB and Dual Mono profiles?

To create a Dual POTS connection you need the following:

  • Two Tieline Codecs (1 for the Studio side and 1 for the Remote location)
  • Two Tieline POTS modules (per codec) and
  • Two POTS phone lines at each end of the telephone line.
