The output level attentuation needs to be set at the DataTalker that is receiving (hearing). Increasing the output level gain at the transmitting DataTalker will have no affect on the loudness heard by the person at the receiving DataTalker:

DataTalker		PSTN	DataTalker
Talk			OL	Sounds
				2db
			Increase	Louder
Sounds	OL		2db
2db	Increase			Talk
Louder

2db

Note: For the best results, increase or decrease both the local output level (OL) and remote input level (IL) settings by a small amount to change the volume level heard at the local voice/fax channel.

The default settings are as follows:

Configuration	Local		Remote
	IL	OL	IL	OL
FXS to FXO	4	0	6	1
FXS to FXS	3	12	3	12
E&M to E&M (4-wire)	3	4	3	4

The Input Level Gain option selects the gain of the input voice/fax signal for voice/fax channel. As the input level gain increases, the volume level increases. The input level gain ranges from 0 to 24 in increments of 1db with 0db producing no gain. Two digits have to be entered.

When the input level on the local DataTalker is adjusted, the volume level heard on the remote DataTalker will change accordingly. The input level gain needs to be set on the transmitting DataTalker (talking). This will increase the volume that the person at the receiving DataTalker hears. To increase the input level gain at the receiving DataTalker will have no affect on what this person hears.

The Silence Suppression option keeps moments of silence from using up bandwidth on the composite link. The options are Off, Medium, and Maximum. Typically, a voice conversation is 50 to 60% silence. Silence suppression is helpful when using a slow composite link speed such as 19.2K bps. When silence suppression is off, all sound passes through the link, even silence. Silence suppression is active when there is no activity on the voice/fax channel. The maximum setting increases the volume necessary for sound to be sent over the link.
