How to convert the level values to db values ?


To convert the audio levels you have to know the codec chip gives a logarithmic hex value,
in the SNMP MIB table or in the Status report you will get the decimal value,
to convert it to dbFS it works in the following way:

(hex)
0000  (decimal = 0) = 
2000 (decimal = 8192) =  -12 dbFS
4000 (dezimal = 16384) = - 6 dbFS
7FFF (decimal = 32767) =  0 dbFS

That means:

(db)    decimal value
-96 = 2*0
-84 = 2
-72 = 2*2
-61 = 2*2*2
-45 = 2*2*2*2
-39 = 2*2*2*2*2
-33 = 2*2*2*2*2*2
-27 = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2
-24 = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2
-21 = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2
-18 = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2
-15 = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2
-12 = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2
-9   = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2
-6   = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2
-3   = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2
0    = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2-1
