c To adjust the receive level to make it match the desired reference level, alter
the value of the line extender reverse output pad. Each 1 dB increase in pad
value should result in a corresponding 1 dB decrease in receive level, and
each 1 dB decrease in pad value should give a 1 dB increase in receive level.

properly close the line extender housing and repeat the process at the next

may have been temporarily replaced with a 0 dB value pad for reverse path
balancing purposes.
