Feature Description
Receive Reduction  This feature ducks receive audio coming in through the telephone line when transmit audio is 
present. This feature is typically used in applications where the transmit party needs control of 
the conversation. When activated, the receive audio is ducked by 6dB. Receive Reduction can 
be turned on or off. The default is off.
Auto Answer  The XAP 400 can be programmed to answer after one complete valid ring has been detected. 
The unit connects to the line automatically in the same manner it would connect if you 
issued a connect command. Auto Answer can be turned on or off. The default is off.
Receive ALC Automatic Level Control (ALC) may be selected on the telco input. This feature is designed to 
keep soft and loud telephone participants at a consistent level. The parameters of ALC are not 
user adjustable. ALC can be turned on or off. The default setting is on.
Edit Speed Dial  The XAP 400 supports 10 speed dial numbers. Each number can be 40 digits long and can 
have a 20 character label associated with it. These numbers and labels are stored in non-
volatile memory and the number can be called by a single command. Any valid touch-tone digit 
and the pause character (comma) may be stored. All speed dial numbers are empty except for 
number 9, which is programmed with Gentner's technical support number and number 10, 
which is programmed with the conference calling services number. 
Hook Flash Duration  Hook Flash is supported by a single command. When the command is received, the unit will 
execute a flash for the duration programmed. Variable length Hook Flash is programmable on 
the unit. The on/off time is programmable from 50ms to 2 seconds in 10ms steps. The 
default is 250ms.
Telco Adaptation  In some applications, it may be desirable to adapt the hybrid with a white-noise burst rather 
than allowing the hybrid to adapt automatically to line conditions. This feature allows you to 
choose between Noise Burst and Auto Adapt. The default is Auto Adapt.
Receive Boost  The Receive Boost adds up to 12dB of gain (adjustable to 0, 3, 6, 9, or 12dB) to the receive
signal delivered from the phone line. This is typically used for low-level telephone lines, allowing
the signal to be boosted into a range where the hybrid can perform at an adequate level of 
acceptance. Receive Boost can be turned on or off (default). This feature is set up during the
initial configuration and is not used to adjust level from call to call. 
Auto Disconnect  The XAP 400 supports automatic disconnection of calls either from loop drop or from call 
progress tone detection. Auto Disconnect can be turned on (Loop + Call Progression, Call 
Progression, Loop) or off. The default is Loop, which is on.
Loop Drop + Call Progression If either a call progress tone or loop drop/reversal is detected, the unit will perform a normal 
disconnect.
Call Progression If a call progress tone is detected, the unit will perform a normal disconnect.
Loop  When a valid loop drop or reversal is detected, the unit will perform a normal disconnect. This is 
the default state.
DTMF Level  This feature allows you to adjust the DTMF tone level in relationship to the participant audio 
level in the room. The level can be adjusted in 1dB steps from a nominal level 0 (default) to plus 
or minus 12dB.
Dial Tone Level  This feature allows you to adjust the Dial Tone level in relationship to the participant audio level 
in the room. The level can be adjusted in 1dB steps from a nominal level 0 (default) to plus or 
minus 12dB.
Audible Hook Indication
When the unit goes off hook (connects) a beep is injected into the receive channel and 
transmit channel of the unit. When the unit goes on hook (disconnects), a series of 2 beeps is 
injected into the receive channel to indicate that the call has been dropped. This indicator can 
be turned on and off by selecting and deselecting the check box. The default is on. The level 
adjustment allows you to customize the level in relationship to the participant audio level in the 
room. The level can be adjusted in 1dB steps from a nominal level 0 (default) to plus or minus 
12dB.
Audible Ring In the On mode, when a valid ring is detected the front panel LED flashes, a serial command is 
transmitted , and an audible ring is heard from the receive channel. In the Off mode, the front 
panel LED flashes and a serial command is transmitted, however, no ring tone is generated. 
This indicator can be turned on and off by selecting and deselecting the check box. The default 
is on. The level adjustment allows you to customize the level in relationship to the participant 
audio level in the room. The level can be adjusted in 1dB steps from a nominal level 0 (default) 
to plus or minus 12dB.
