2. 4 Detailed operating instructions 4 1 Basic principles and definitions The TeleScoop application controls configuration and supervision one codec at a time but several copies of the programme may run in parallel which allows to control several codecs simultaneously This is similar to e g simultaneously opening several documents on a text editor To take control over a codec the software needs some installation parameters that define the codec type and addressing e Type of the codec e COM port number or IP address TCP port number These parameters can be saved in a codec description file or simply codec file whose name can be selected Afterwards it is only needed to open this file for the software to get linked with the codec without having to enter again the installation parameters TeleScoop also uses configuration files a configuration file includes parameters relating to e The audio coding configuration e The configuration of auxiliary functions ancillary data channel relay transmission audio coordination channel A given combination of these parameters can be directly loaded just by opening a configuration file saved previously Lastly a third type of file handled by TeleScoop is the directory This includes a number of profiles Each profile in the directory includes a name one or a few dial numbers2 and possibly reference to a linked configuration file Selecting a prof
