Table 1-1. Considerations for the DEFINTIY AUDIX system
Native and Non-native Mode
The DEFINITY AUDIX system can operate with almost any Lucent
Technologies switch release. However, only DEFINITY switch releases
7.1 and later will recognize the DEFINITY AUDIX system’s TN568 circuit
pack.
The circuitry for the DEFINITY AUDIX system is assigned a vintage
number that communicates the system’s function to the switch. The
vintage number for DEFINITY AUDIX system Release 4.0 is 48. Switch
releases 7.1 and later recognize this number as belonging to the
DEFINITY AUDIX system’s TN568 circuit pack. Switch releases earlier
than 7.1recognize vintage number 48 as belonging to one of two digital
port circuit packs:
■ TN754, an 8-port digital circuit pack
■ TN2181, a 16-port digital circuit pack 4
When the DEFINTY AUDIX system operates in a switch that recognizes
its vintage number as a TN568, the system is operating in
native mode .
When the DEFINITY AUDIX system operates in a switch that recognizes
the system as a TN754 or TN2181 circuit pack, it is operating in
non-native mode . 5
Switch releases Considerations for the DEFINTIY AUDIX system
All Calls using loopback trunks cannot terminate at the
DEFINITY AUDIX system
Earlier than 5.3 These switches do not support the use of multifunction
analog telephones (MFATs)
Earlier than
2g.04.5.0.099 These switches do not support the Transfer Out of AUDIX
feature
4. Even though the TN2181 is a 16-port digital station circuit pack,
the DEFINITY AUDIX system will only support 12 voice ports.
Administering the DEFINITY AUDIX system’s voice ports for
TN2181 emulation requires the use of special procedures. For
more information about voice port administration, see
Chapter 2 ,
Chapter 3 , Appendix A , and Installation and Switch Administration
for the DEFINITY AUDIX System Release 4.0 , 585-300-122 .
5. Even though the DEFINITY AUDIX system is emulating a circuit
pack other than the TN568, the digital port circuit pack the system
is emulating will still register a vintage number 48. This vintage
number is unique to DEFINITY AUDIX system Release 4.0. See the
system description for the customer’s switch for more information
about accessing circuit packs’ vintage numbers.
