However, tuning rxgain/txgain is something that you *should* do on all your FXO ports anyways... properly tuned ports will create far less echo than those using default values most of the time. Tuning rxgain/txgain is a little bit of a tedious task however, and I can;t really say there are alot of good guides out there on how to do it. The way I did it was first I tuned my rxgain by dialing a telco-owned milliwatt test number (should be able to get this from your telco, i believe its referred to as a Type 102 milliwatt test). You use that to tune rxgain, then the way I tuned txgain was by using the app_milliwatt application to essentially create my own milliwatt test number (need multiple FXO ports to do this), so basically i;d dial out from one FXO port and back into the other and adjust the txgain until i got it right... You need to use ztmonitor to watch the levels as you adjust tx/rxgain, I believe the magic number you want to hit in ztmonitor is around 14840 (thats off the top of my head so i might be off)... -- Matt http://www.mattgwatson.ca
Does anyone know a Type 102 milliwatt number that I can call to adjust the RxGain? I have tried the telco but no one is responding on their number.

Ok how do you use this then? I dialed 909-390-0002 Milliwatt and apart from hearing a tone my ztmonitor was just on full to the right.

THe goal is to try and hit 14844 on your Rx. I have no idea why 14844 is the magic number... but i;m sure somebody else here could explain that. -- Matt http://www.mattgwatson.ca
