0db (Default)

Receivers on most newer T1 equipment (repeaters, switches, etc.) can automatically adjust for incoming amplitude, allowing them to run at zero attenuation regardless of distance.

-7.5db, -15db or -22db

Some older T1 equipment (repeaters, switches, etc.) cannot automatically adjust for incoming amplitude, in which case, it may be necessary to set attenuation manually (through NMS) from the choices above.

Timing

Local (Default)

The transmit clock source will originate from an oscillator onboard the TAM1500-12.

Loop

The transmit clock source will originate from the remote T1 modem.
