Channel Folding is used to concentrate the total memory of the LAP-F1 on a limited number of channels. Much like folding a paper increases the thickness by a factor of two Channel Folding doubles the available memory per channel if half the channels are deactivated. Any channel can be deactivated regardless of the port it belongs to.
Note that the memory concentration works in steps. Ex: If you have 4 Gb available per channel when 16 channels are active, there will also be 4 Gb available for 31, 30 … 16 channels. It’s first at 8 active channels that the available memory per channel doubles to 8 Gb.
