Diagnose and Resolve Telephone Line Audio Issues
Are you experiencing echo, distorted sound, or Touch Tone (DTMF) recognition problems on your telephone line? High audio levels can be the culprit. The Phone Line Attenuation Tester is the solution you need. This handy tool allows you to insert 1 to 4 dB of loss into the line, helping you diagnose and resolve audio issues quickly and easily.
How it Works
Temporarily install the Loss Insertion Tester in-series between the telephone line or analog station port, and the telephone equipment. Press the two toggle switches to insert 1, 2, 3, or 4 dB of loss into the pair. This allows you to test and adjust the audio levels on your telephone line to ensure optimal performance.
Understanding Telephone Line Components
A telephone line consists of two components: the DC talk battery and the AC audio. While other devices may only affect the DC voltage and loop current, the Phone Line Attenuation Tester reduces both the DC voltage and the AC audio on the line. This makes it a more comprehensive solution for diagnosing and resolving audio issues.
Customizable Attenuation
By combining the Phone Line Attenuation Tester with a Modular 4dB Fixed Attenuator (sold separately), you can insert 5, 6, 7, or 8 dB of loss into the pair. This customization option ensures you can tailor the solution to your specific needs. However, be cautious not to insert too much loss, as this can lead to other problems on the line, such as cut-offs and answering and dialing issues.
VoIP System Considerations
When using the Phone Line Attenuation Tester with a VoIP system, be mindful not to put in more than 1 or 2 dB of loss. Excessive loss can exacerbate impedance mismatch issues, leading to echo and other problems. Thankfully, the tester makes it easy to test and adjust audio levels quickly, ensuring you can find the optimal solution for your VoIP system.
