Parity Considerations
AVA-Es transfer all character bits whether it is 7 data bits plus parity or 8 data bits plus none, even or odd
parity (7,N,1 is not supported). All 7 bit plus parity data should use the 8N1 setting. When 8E1 or 8O1 is
enabled, parity is tested on the incoming data port characters, and the character is discarded if the parity is
incorrect.
Voice Bandwidth Requirements
The following chart shows the bandwidth required for each voice rate setting. The maximum sustained data
bandwidth is the network rate minus voice bandwidth.

1 – Digital or “feature” phones of the type used by some PBX systems are not supported.
2 – To set the FXS/FXO port for FXS, set the jumper on J6 to the left.
3 – To set the FXS/FXO port for FXO, set the jumper on J6 to the right.
4 – Set internal jumper J4 to position 2,3 to route audio output to rear panel audio connector.
FXS
– In this mode, the AVA-E provides DC voltage and current (talk battery) for a local telephone
instrument. By monitoring the presence or absence of current to the telephone instrument, the AVA-E detects
whether the phone, or telephone equivalent, is idle (on hook) or busy (off hook). This information is then
