Acoustic Echo Cancellation

– Enabled; prevents audio feedback by cancelling the specified output

signal out of the line/mic input.

Note

If using the OneLINK Bridge with a conferencing codec, ensure that echo cancellation is enabled on only
one device, whether it is the OneLINK Bridge or the codec. If echo cancellation is enabled on both the
OneLINK Bridge and the codec, unexpected audio effects may result. We recommend disabling echo
cancellation on the OneLINK Bridge and allowing the conferencing codec to handle it.

Noise Cancellation

– Enabled; suppresses ambient noise.

Automatic Gain Control

– Disabled; adjusts gain to compensate for differences in volume as different

people speak.

Chairman Override:

Gives priority to the specified microphone when more than one person is speaking.
