POTS Output Component

The POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) Output component converts the processed digital signal to analog and provides software controls before and after the convertor. The output is sent to the telephone system servicing the call. Connection is provided through the RJ11 connector on the rear of the amplifier.

Function

Default/Range

Peak Output Level (dBFS)

Measures the Digital Signal level prior to the D/A converter.

Green = good

Yellow = close to clipping

Red = clipping

Clip

Red LED indicating if the signal is being clipped.

Off/On

Clip Hold

Holds the clip indication until manually cleared.

Off/On

Invert

Inverts the audio signal.

Off/On

Mute

Mutes the digital audio signal.

Off/On

Gain

Controls the gain of the digital audio signal prior to the D/A converter.

Status

Displays the current status of the amplifier both in text and color. The following is a list of possible status colors, and some example conditions.

OK – Green – (0) – Audio is good, hardware is good.

Compromised – Orange – (1) – Audio is good but a redundancy mechanism is active (one LAN down but the other is still up) or a non-fatal hardware problem exists (fans too slow, temperature higher than expected, etc.)

Fault – Red – (2) – Audio is not passing, or hardware is malfunctioning or mis-configured (amplifier power off, audio streams broken, wrong type of I/O Card installed, loudspeaker short circuit, etc.)

Missing – Red – (3) – A piece of hardware, defined in the design, has not been discovered. Audio is not passing through that piece of hardware.

Initializing – Blue – (5) – In the process of firmware, configuration update, and design start. Audio is obviously bad.

Not Present – Gray – A virtual component in the design, that is designated as Dynamically Paired, and Not Required ,has no hardware assigned to it.
