The sign is "-".  The bigger the number, the lower the level.

The legit max level is -10dbm.  Using a S12 linecard, the actual optimal
point is only about 1 db wide, and urgently needs to have the transmit
level tuned to that point.  Of course, we're forbidden to adjust the level
- and manufacturer spread is about 6dbm, 3 plus and minus of the nominal.  

US modems can adjust up to -9, which doesn't work at all well.  Depending
on your copper length, somewhere between -10 and -12 is optimal.  Too high
a level produces clipping distortion, and wrecks the link well and truly.
