Padding (volume) adjustment on PA-8CFTD 1

[bengi1234]

I have an NEC NEAX 2400 IMS. Trying to lower volume on the three-way conference calls. This is handled by the PA-8CFTD card. There doesn't seem to be any dip switches on the card and I cannot find any commands in the Command Manual that would seem to do this.

The volume would be controlled by the trunk cards. What kind of COT cards do you have?

PA-8COTF-C. Looks like there's 7 or 8 of them in the system, although none are on the same shelf as the PA-8CFTD. There's three of them on the shelf right above it.

In your system the volume is probably set and adjusted in ARTD route data. Although this setting is specified for ODT and DTI types of trunks, it may still function on COT's.
CDN 30 - PAD: This data determines Pad control on the ODT/DTI circuit card,see Note (CDN = 30)
ODT DTI
0: No Pad 0: 8 db Pad
1: 2 dB Pad 1: 2 dB Pad
2: 4 dB Pad 2: 4 dB Pad
3: 12 dB Pad 3: 6 dB Pad
4: 16 dB Pad 4: 8 dB Pad
5: Not used 5: Not used
6: Not used 6: Not used
7: Pad Off
Note: CDN30=0: PAD value can also be set by switch setting on the ODT /DTI circuit card.
CDN30= 1 ~ 6: Actual PAD value depends on PAD ROM on the trunk circuit card. (See the “Circuit
Card Manual”.
I believe a card reset is required, or all circuits need to go idle for any changes to take effect.

Thanks very much Belevedere this handled exactly what I was trying to fix
