Question   What does Dispatch products due in the cases of missed packets (lost due to jitter or errors)?   Answer   The products have a jitter buffer that allows for packets to be reordered if delivered out of sequence, if this buffer empties due to lost packets the unit will stop and restart once the "Packet delay before playback" buffer is filled.   The product looks at the source and destination address, when a correct incoming port number is recognized the unit will lock in on that source address an ignore packets coming from another source address until the first source stops sending then the second source has access. There is no protection against multiple packets from the same source address with the same multicast and port numbers as this shouldn't happen.  Add to this the same sequence bit in the packet (echoes) should never be allowed. Packets not received or lost before their play sequence (bit) time in the buffer are lost and next packets in the buffer pulled in.           © Copyright Bosch Security Systems All rights reserved.

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.
