Changing input gain and output attenuation on Voice Port

i.va
Level 3
Level 3

Hi!

one of our customers in Germany has a VoIP network consisting of a CUCM 6.1.1.2000-3 cluster and 2 Voice Gateways (Cisco 2811, IOS c2800nm-ipvoicek9-mz.124-15.T6.bin).

As the title already indicates, PSTN users are complaining about low volume on calls with users on this VoIP network.

Cisco suggests the following solution (adjusting input gain and output ettenuation):

http://www.ciscotaccc.com/kaidara-advisor/voice/showcase?case=K17481859

Since my experience is limited in the VoIP field, my question is if this solution has any side-effects which one should be concerned about. If its relevant, we also have fax calls across these Voice Gateways. No other PBX is connected.

Here is some of the cofiguration that might be relevant:

!

interface Serial0/0/0:15

no ip address

encapsulation hdlc

isdn switch-type primary-net5

isdn timer T310 10000

isdn overlap-receiving T302 6000

I thought you might have a problem with the E1 config that was causing the problem, but it looks good. Adjusting the ouput attenuation as described in the link in your original post should not present any other problems. Start with the value indicated in the link and adjust as needed.

Thanks for taking a look at it! I will give it a try then! :)
