# Automatic Gain Control

According to Wikipedia, "automatic gain control (AGC) is an adaptive system found in many electronic devices. The average output signal level is fed back to adjust the gain to an appropriate level for a range of input signal levels."

### TelcoBridges and Automatic Gain Control

TelcoBridges supports Automatic Gain Control in its [Tmedia](https://telcobridges.com/media-gateways/products/tmedia-gateways/) and [Tdev](https://telcobridges.com/products/development-platforms-tdev/) products.

#### Automatic Gain Control parameters

* AUTO mode adjusts the input gain to have the desired output level. For example, by setting the output level to 10dBm, no matter how the input level is (too high or too low), the gain will be automatically change so that the output is exactly 10dBm.
* In FIXED mode, the gain is fixed, no matter the input level. For example, if the gain is set to 3 dB, then the output will be 3dB higher than the input, no matter the input level.

**Important note**:

* When using the AUTO mode, the output level is set in dBm
* When using the FIXED mode, the output gain is set in dB

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/voice-and-media/automatic-gain-control.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
