Patent ID: 8879710

Claim:
A private branch exchange comprising: an audio quality characteristic configuration database for storing an audio quality adjustment value of at least one of a gain circuit and an echo canceller circuit, optimal call quality being able to be obtained according to a combination for each group of at least one of a telephone type and a line type to connect for a telephone call; and a connection path database for storing information related to a connection path determined by a combination of a telephone and a communication line to connect for the telephone call, wherein, when there is a connection request from at least one of the telephone and the communication line, by referring to the audio quality characteristic configuration database, an audio quality adjustment value is determined to perform setting for at least one of the gain circuit and the echo canceller circuit, the gain circuit and the echo canceller circuit exist on a connection path, and the connection path is determined by referring to the connection path database, wherein when the audio quality adjustment request dial number is received from the telephone being in the telephone call state, the audio quality adjustment value of the audio quality characteristic configuration database is updated with a changed value corresponding to an audio quality adjustment request dial number, wherein the audio quality adjustment request dial number requests change of the audio quality adjustment value stored in the audio quality characteristic configuration database regarding a combination of at least one of the line type and the telephone type being in a telephone call state, further comprising an interface able to collectively specify one or a plurality of groups to update the audio quality adjustment value stored according to a combination for each group of at least one of the telephone type and the line type of the audio quality characteristic configuration database from a maintenance terminal for maintaining a private telephone.
