Configure Access Device

This step is mandatory.

Enter the following information.


Parameter

Description
Maximum line number This field is read-only if you are adding the Access Device to a MetaSwitch Trunk / Access Gateway. Maximum line number usable on this port (the maximum number of subscriber lines that this port supports).
Receive gain This field applies only to devices connected over T1 CAS or GR-303. Specifies the gain that should be applied to the audio (including voice-band data calls) received on this access device. (The receive gain is not applied if the call is signaled as a data call.) This gain is applied only to calls that use PB* adaptors, and not those on AM*, TD* or SG* adaptors. It does not alter the gain on TDM calls on a PB3000 Adaptor. Note that changing this value will not apply the gain to existing calls, but will be applied to new calls that are set up after the change. Range: -12 to 12 dB. The default is zero (no gain is applied). Values outside of the range -6 to 3 dB can detrimentally affect voice quality, and prevent DTMF tone relay from functioning correctly. You will normally only apply negative gains, for example when configuring your system to comply with the loss plan.
Transmit gain This field applies only to devices connected over T1 CAS or GR-303. Specifies the gain that should be applied to the audio (including voice-band data calls) sent on this access device. (The transmit gain is not applied if the call is signaled as a data call.) This gain is applied only to calls that use PB* adaptors, and not those on AM*, TD* or SG* adaptors. It does not alter the gain on TDM calls on a PB3000 Adaptor. Note that changing this value will not apply the gain to existing calls, but will be applied to new calls that are set up after the change. Range: -12 to 12 dB. The default is zero (no gain is applied). Values outside of the range -6 to 3 dB can detrimentally affect voice quality, and prevent DTMF tone relay from functioning correctly. You will normally only apply negative gains, for example when configuring your system to comply with the loss plan.
Deactivation mode Specifies how child objects should be deactivated when deactivating this object. Values:
  • Normal
    Shut down child objects normally before deactivating the object.
  • Quiesce
    Deactivating the Access Device object in quiesce mode will wait for all existing child objects using the Access Device to be completed before deactivation. No new child objects using this Access Device object will be accepted during this deactivation period.
  • Abort
    Deactivate the object and all its child objects immediately. (This may result in errors at remote systems.)
