Configuration 791
See Table 306 "Pad switching algorithm" (page 791) for the pad switching
control for the various through connections and the actual port-to-port loss
introduced for connections between the E and M Trunk card and any other
IPE port designated as Port B.
Figure 256 "Pad orientation" (page 791) shows the pad switching orientation.

Note: Transmit and receive designations are from and to the system. Transmit is from the system to
the external facility (digital-to-analog direction in the E and M Trunk card). Receive is to the system
from the external facility (analog-to-digital direction in the E and M Trunk card).
Loss parameters are selected on the E and M trunk card by a switchable
pad controlled by Codec emulation software. For convenience in this
discussion, the pads settings are called "in" and "out." Pad settings are
determined by the three factors listed below: the first two are under direct
user control; the third is controlled indirectly.

• Class of service is assigned in LD 14.
• Facility termination is selected (2-wire or 4-wire) in LD 14 (the 2-wire
setting provides 0.5 dB more loss in each direction of transmission for
echo control).
