Caution:
The values in the loss plan can significantly affect the quality of service that your users experience. Therefore, to change the loss plan you must thoroughly understand loss plans and your particular configuration. Avaya recommends that you seek technical assistance from Avaya before making any modifications to the loss plan.
Use the 2 Party Loss Plan page of the Location Parameters screen to set the decibel gain or loss levels, between two parties on a call. Each row on this screen is considered a different loss group. You can assign a loss group to a particular phone or trunk by administering a value for the Loss Group fields on the Station and Trunk Generation screens. You can use this setting for loss plans for different types of phones or different trunk groups.
With the Tone Loss Plans page on the Location Parameters screen, you can set the tone gain or loss levels (in dB) on a conference call, and the total gain or loss in a conference based on the number of parties.
Note:
The end-to-end total loss for multi-party conference calls that is administered on the Location Parameters screen is not always applied to a specific call. The loss applied to, for example, a 3-party conference call is calculated by adding the fixed pairwise loss for each pair of ports to the value for 2-party loss shown on the Location Parameters screen. If this total is less than the end-to-end total loss value configured for a 3-party conference, calculate the difference, and divide the difference by 2. Add 1 to this figure, and the result is the amount of loss applied to the call.
IP endpoints connected using hairpinning or direct IP-IP are not under the control of the administrable loss plan.
