information2

Important Note: By default, when Tieline codecs dial they send configuration settings to the remote codec using Tieline Session Data. This configures the codec receiving the call with matching algorithm, sample rate and bit rate settings. Non-Tieline devices don't support this feature and Sessionless must be selected to provide compatibility. See Connecting Tieline ISDN to non-Tieline Codecs for more compatibility information when dialing non-Tieline codecs.
