The default templates displayed vary depending on the codec purchased, e.g. Gateway 4, Gateway 8, and Gateway 16. Note: By default User Defined is selected. User Defined programs provide flexibility by allowing configuration of mono, stereo, HTTP encode, and phase-aligned multichannel connections in any order. This is dependent on the number of channels the codec supports. See Configure Dial and Answer Programs for more details about these programs.
