1.4 DEFINITIONS AND ACRONYMS
1.4.1 Definitions
The aim of the definitions provided in this section is to explain the meaning applied to general terms used in this
Manual, which may be different to the meaning applied in other documents. Specific technical terms will be
defined throughout this Operation and Maintenance Instructions Manual, as appropriate, to improve
understanding of its sections.
BUFFER: Intermediate memory.
BUS-BAR: Power supply voltage distribution cable of the system.
CALL: Signalling between switchboards or between a switchboard and a subscriber.
Acoustic tone notifying an incoming communication. Generation of said signals to
notify the other end of a communication. Visual indication, on the selection panel
of the called subscriber, that indicates that an IA communication exists and
simultaneously shows the calling number.
CALLED: The subscriber who receives the call.
CALLER: The subscriber who generates the call. If there are no calls, these terms are
also applied to the Hotline service.
CARD: Formed by a printed circuit board upon which electronic components are
assembled (or not).
In a local network, the computer that depends on a server.
CLIENT:
In Hotline or DA, visual signal that indicates that a communication has been
CONVERSATION:
established.
DA: Direct Access
DIALLING: Pulse signalling in a pulse telephone switchboard.
DOUBLE-ENDED CORD- Connector used to connect the Handset or Headset to the Jack Panel.
CIRCUIT:
Is an interface operating mode. When two subscribers are talking simultaneously,
DOUBLE-TALK MODE: this mode adapt the signal levels of a DA/IDA call performed through VCS
telephony interface.
ELEMENT: Physical and/or logical body capable of carrying out the function for which it has
been designed.
IDA Indirect Access
HALT: Interruption of a process.
INITIAL TOLERANCES/ Terms that indicate the maximum deviation with respect to the nominal value
LIMITS: established for a parameter, or the margin of values that is acceptable or
permissible for the initial installation or subsequent to modifications or
modifications and that are desirable after any adjustments subsequent to a
situation when the tolerances are exceeded.

6.2.58 2W Audio Parameters Settings
Circumstantial Title
2W Audio Parameters Settings.
Purpose
Set the audio parameters settings: gain level of the audio signal, double talk mode and double talk threshold in the 2W telephony
interfaces.
Required Test Equipment
Front cable (0061840000000). See Section 6.3.4.
Conditions
System under normal operation. Plug in the Telephony interface to set and connect the front cable between the interface and a PC with a
generic terminal emulator (e.g. PuTTY or Hyperterminal).
Exposition
SET THE GAIN AUDIO LEVEL, DOUBLE TALK MODE AND VALUE OF DOUBLE TALK THRESHOLD OF THE TELEPHONY
INTERFACE FROM THE TERMINAL EMULATOR.
A telephony interface can be set with different parameters , return to the default values or set the current parameters settings.

Detailed Procedure
1) Choose the interface to set, plug in the rack and connect the front cable test between the RJ48 interface connector and the PC serial
port (Note: If computer has not serial port, use a commercial serial-usb converter to connect with D-SUB 9 PIN connector).
2) Open and configure your terminal emulator with values:
· Select correct COM port.
· Speed (baud): 9600
· Data bits: 8
· Stop bit: 1
· Parity: None
· Flow control: none

6) Press 3 to change double talk mode and double talk threshold:
· Between 0-7 to choice a double talk threshold
· Between 8-B to choice a double talk mode:
· Disable 12dB att. Disable attenuation when detect double talk
· Enable 12dB att TX RX: Enable 12dB attenuation both ways, TX RX, when detect double talk.
· Enable 12dB att TX: Enable 12dB attenuation in TX when detect double talk.
· Enable 12dB att TX: Enable 12dB attenuation in RX when detect double talk.
7) After change any value must to reset card (see step 3 figure).
8) To return to the default values press 5.
9) Make a note of the result in Table C-13.
