TLM 600 Integrated Mixer-CODEC Reference Manual i-Mix G3 Reference Manual Version 12.1 Software Version: Tieline Toolbox V.4.14.48 RPTP version 104 Firmware Version: 1.6.72; RPTP version 104 November, 2012 IMPORTANT: Please read page 2 for important firmware update information ToolBox Software Note: We recommend using a LAN or serial connection when installing ToolBox G3 software on operating systems other than XP. Please read http://www.tieline.com/Support/toolbox-G3 before attempting to connect ToolBox via USB. Recent Manual Updates Important Updates for Firmware v.1.6.72 RPTP 104 1. From the 31st March 2011 Tieline has discontinued support for the Voice G3 algorithm. As a result it has been omitted from this v.1.6.72 firmware release and all codecs purchased after this date. Codecs with firmware v.1.6.72 or higher can connect to G3 codecs running older firmware versions, but will have to use an algorithm other than Voice G3. Voice G3 is usually used for low-bitrate connections over GSM and POTS. We recommend using Tieline Music as a substitute for these low bit-rate connections. 2. It is now possible to configure a ‘Hangup Profile’ in G3 codecs. This means a codec can receive calls from other codecs that change its existing connection profile, and then the codec receiving the call will automatically return to the preprogrammed Hangup Profile after disconnection. Program this via [Menu] > [Configuration] > [Advanced] > [Hangup Profile] and select the profile. 3. A new version of Toolbox v.4.14.48 is now available to support firmware release v.1.6.72. (Download from Tieline support at http://www.tieline.com/Support/Latest-Firmware/Current-G3-Firmware- Versions.) 4. TLR300B2 codecs now support 256Kbps MP2 J-Stereo connections at 32KHz and 48KHz sampling over IP and X.21. 5. References to “RAW” uncompressed data are now renamed “PCM” in G3 codecs for consistency with new Tieline codecs. 6. Telstra 3G Wireless Access Points have been renamed for Australian customers. Previous Name New Name Telstra per MB Telstra datapk Telstra Timed Telstra PC Pack Telstra Per KB Telstra internt 7. Other access points have been added for Australia and Canada.
