ISDN parameters (in Dolby Fax applications)

The setting of a particular parameter may therefore preclude the use of certain
selections in lower levels of the hierarchy; those selections are eliminated from the list
of available choices when navigating the screens. If a parameter is changed to a value
that is inconsistent with the settings of lower level parameters, the lower levels will
revert to default values. The following list of examples demonstrates this feature:

Encoder Configuration

Upon power-up, the DP503 will go through a self-test sequence. Two screens showing
software revision levels will appear. Then, the default encoder configuration screen
will be displayed; their corresponding labels are printed below the display. It will look
similar to the following:

AC2 256 2C 48 12

As shown, the display indicates: 2 channels (dual mono) of Dolby AC-2 audio coding
algorithm at a total data rate of 256 kbps; the sample rate is 48 kHz, and the auxiliary
data rate is 1200 bps.

If you have already used any of the push-button keys to reach another screen and do
not see the display above, press the ESC key enough times so that you do. The actual
values displayed will depend on the previously defined state, if you or someone else
have already saved a different encoder configuration.

Tip:

If you encounter the UPDATE TA? Y N screen, enter No by pressing the

Æ

arrow key so that the

cursor is below the character N and then pressing ENTER.
