Alarm Relay
Previous releases of the DEFINITY AUDIX system c ould  use the two-wire 
alarm relay to notify INADS of major alarms. Althoug h the DEFINTY 
AUDIX system c an notify INADS of minor alarms via the external 
mod em, the system will no longer use the two-wire alarm relay to sig nal 
minor alarms. 
For more information ab out Alarm Orig ination for DEFINITY AUDIX 
system Release 4.0, inc lud ing  self-d iag nostic s, the external mod em, 
and  the alarm relay, see Chap ter 3
.
LEDs
DEFINITY AUDIX system Release 4.0 uses three lig ht-emitting  d iod es 
(LEDs) on its fac ep late to disp lay system status and  health. Previous 
system releases used  a liq uid  c rystal d isp lay (LCD) for the same 
p urp ose. The LCD used  three maintenanc e b uttons and  a struc tured  set 
of menus to display messag es ab out system status. 
The LEDs on Release 4.0 disp lay information similar to the messages on 
the old  LCD. However, tec hnic ians and  system ad ministrators c annot 
manipulate the LEDs to display different types of messag es while the 
system is running .
NOTE:
The two rec essed  maintenanc e b uttons on DEFINTY AUDIX 
system Release 4.0 d o not p erform the same func tions as the three 
maintenanc e b uttons for the LCD on p revious system releases. For 
more information ab out the LEDs and  rec essed  maintenanc e 
b uttons on Release 4.0, see Chapter 3
.
MO Disk Drive
DEFINITY AUDIX system Release 4.0 uses a mag neto-optic al (MO) d isk 
d rive for b ac kup s and  software up g rad es. Previous releases used  a 
tape drive. 
The MO d isk drive is smaller than the tap e drive, whic h helps reduc e the 
system’s d emand  for sp ac e in the c ustomer’s switc h. The rewritab le 
disks for the MO disk drive offer slig htly more storage sp ac e than the 
tap es for the tap e d rive, as well as flexibility for data ac c ess and  reuse. 
For more information ab out the MO d isk d rive, see Chap ter 2
, Chap ter 3, 
and  Chapter 3.

Switch Integration 
Switch Integration
In most switc hes, the DEFINITY AUDIX system op erates in a mode 
c alled  d isplay set integration. In d isplay set integration, the DEFINITY 
AUDIX system c ommunic ates with sub sc rib ers’ telep hones to p erform 
suc h ac tions as lig hting  MWIs and  rec ord ing  c allers’ names and  
extensions. The four main c hapters of this b ook foc us solely on d isp lay 
set integ ration.
The DEFINITY AUDIX system c an, however, c ommunic ate with the 
switc h in another mode, c alled  
control link integration. In c ontrol link 
integ ration mode, the DEFNITY AUDIX system c onnec ts to a Proc essor 
Interfac e (PI) or a Proc essor Gateway (PGATE) c irc uit p ac k in the switc h. 
When the DEFINITY AUDIX system integrates with the switc h in c ontrol 
link mode, the system c ommunic ates d irec tly with the switc h, rather than 
sub sc rib ers’ telephones. The switc h, for example, lights subsc rib ers’ 
MWIs when they have AUDIX messag es, and  it c an route c alls away 
from a DEFINITY AUDIX p ort that is b usy. Control link integ ration 
streamlines the DEFINITY AUDIX system’s interac tions with the switc h, 
so the system c an op erate faster and  more effic iently. 
DCS Networking
Control link integration allows the DEFINTY AUDIX system to op erate 
seamlessly in a Distrib uted Communic ation System (DCS) network—a 
network of switc hes that are c onnec ted so they ac t as one switc h. In 
c ontrol link mod e, the DEFINTY AUDIX system c an sup p ort sub sc ribers 
on up to 20 remote switc hes (or 
nod es) in a DCS network as loc al 
subscribers. 
Analog Port Emulation
In d isplay set integration, the DEFINITY AUDIX system c an emulate two 
d ig ital station c irc uit pac ks: the TN754 8-p ort d igital c irc uit pac k or the 
TN2181 16-p ort d ig ital c irc uit p ac k. In c ontrol link integ ration, the 
DEFINTY AUDIX system c an also emulate a 16-p ort analog  c irc uit pac k, 
the TN746. 
Analog  p ort emulation inc reases system sp eed  and  may b e less 
exp ensive to install for some c ustomers. However, analog  p ort emulation 
is not c omp atib le with some features for d ig ital p ort emulation, suc h as 
Dig ital Networking .

Appendix B — Customer Responsibilities
During  imp lementation—the p roc ess that d rives the DEFINITY AUDIX 
system’s p urc hase and  installation—Luc ent Tec hnolog ies staff will help  
ensure the DEFINITY AUDIX system meets the c ustomer’s voic e 
messag ing  need s. They will install the system and  p rovid e maintenanc e 
sup p ort onc e the system up  and  running .
The c ustomer also has several responsib ilities d uring  imp lementation, 
inc luding the following:
nProvid ing  staff to c oord inate p lanning  ac tivities and  ad minister 
the system
nEnsuring  the eq uip ment room meets environmental req uirements
nSup plying some c onnec tions from the c ustomer’s equipment to 
the DEFINTY AUDIX system
This ap pend ix outlines these resp onsibilities. For a d etailed exp lanation 
of DEFINITY AUDIX system imp lementation, inc lud ing  the c ustomer’s 
responsib ilities and  the responsib ilities of sp ec ific Lucent Technologies 
staff, see 
Planning  for the DEFINITY AUDIX System Release 4.0, 
585-300-602.
Staff
The c ustomer need s an ind ivid ual to c oord inate p lanning  efforts with a 
p rojec t manag er and  other Luc ent Tec hnolog ies staff to ensure that all 
imp lementation tasks are c ompleted . This ind ivid ual should p erform 
suc h tasks as the following :
nProvide Luc ent Tec hnolog ies initial subsc rib er information.
nEnsure the eq uip ment room is read y when the system arrives.
nProvid e for the eq uip ment’s sec urity.
In add ition to this c oord inator, the c ustomer should  also selec t an 
ind ividual who will c ond uc t ongoing  system administration after 
installation. For a d etailed  desc ription of the system ad ministrator’s 
rec ommend ed  d uties and  q ualific ations, see 
Planning  for the DEFINITY 
AUDIX System Release 4.0, 585-300-602.
Environmental Requirements
The DEFINITY AUDIX system must op erate in an environment that 
c onforms to sp ec ific  p arameters for its atmosp here and  air q uality. 
Installing  the system in an environment that d oes not meet these 
req uirements c an shorten its life and  d isrup t its op eration.

Environmental Requirements 
Switc h d oc umentation identifies sp ec ific  g uid elines for the switc h’s 
operating  environment. Generally, the customer should  use these 
g uid elines for c reating  a suitab le op erating  environment for the 
DEFINITY AUDIX system. The following  g uid elines represent the 
rec ommended environmental c ond itions for DEFINITY switc h Release 
7.1 and  DEFINITY AUDIX system Release 4.0. See the system 
d esc rip tion for the c ustomer’s switc h for more information ab out 
environmental req uirements.
