Manual Input Volume Control

This feature enables a manual volume control on a parties inbound leg to a conference. The Automatic Gain Control for that party is automatically disabled, and the requested gain is added to the conferee’s speech prior to being added to the conference.

An example application of this feature would be where an individual wants to ensure that his contributions to the conference are heard by the other participants so adds a few dB of gain to their voice, in effect, raising the volume of their voice without additional effort.

Configuration
