It is possible to lock a customized single stream program, or a multistream program in a codec, to ensure the currently loaded program type cannot be unloaded by a codec dialing in with a different program type. It is essential to lock multistream programs in a codec or they will be unloaded by the first call received. Only mono and stereo connections can be answered when the Lock Program feature is disabled.
For example, if routing requirements require the codec at the studio to always connect using dual stereo connections, simply load and lock this program in the codec. Another reason for locking a program in the answering codec is to always use a particular jitter buffer or FEC setting.
Generally programs will be up or down-mixed by the answering codec to match the loaded program type. In some situations incompatible program types will be rejected. A compatible program type can still connect and specify different connection parameters such as algorithm preferences and bit rates via session data.
