NAME
vdaaerl - Measure the echo-return loss on Voicetronix FXO telephony
modules
SYNOPSIS
vdaaerl [options]
DESCRIPTION
The vdaaerl utility tests the echo-return from a telephone line
connected to a Voicetronix FXO module, such as those used on the
OpenPCI range of cards. It can scan all available impedance values to
find the best match for a particular line.
It will wait for an incoming call on the port under test. The calling
handset should have the microphone well muted for the duration of the
test.
A series of tones will be played down the line to determine the ERL in
several parts of the audio spectrum. You should avoid creating any
other noise on the line while this test is running, or the results may
be skewed.
If no --impedance is specified, and the --scan option is not used, then
the default impedance value (based on the port’s country selection)
will be used.
OPTIONS
The following options are available:
--help, -?
Show summary of options.
--card number
Explicitly select the card to test. Default is card 0.
--port number
Explicitly select the port to test. Default is port 0 of the
card being tested.
--impedance number
Test a particular impedance setting [0 - 15].
--scan Test all available impedances.
--playgain db
Set the hardware play gain. Values may range from -12.0 to
12.0.
--recgain db
Set the hardware record gain. Values may range from -12.0 to
12.0.
