Question   Does Telex Dispatch support UDP Unicast addresses instead of UDP Multicast addresses?   Answer   Yes. Place opposite ends static ip address into the multicast address field, see example below: Note: You will now be operating in point to point mode (ie...ip-223 to single console), point to multi point (ie...ip-223 to multiple consoles) will not work.  

Question   When sending out pages the console steers the page to the correct channel, but then immediately switches back to whatever channel was selected prior to the page.  Need it to stay on the paged out channel.   Answer   This is standard operation if the page button is configured with 0 in the "Talk Time" field.  Typically if you send pages and voice on the same channel it is expected that the "Talk Time" field has a value inserted to keep the radio keyed allowing the dispatcher time to press PTT so your not bouncing the radio RF final with a very short de-key.
