∙network connection type

This field is used when the local AUDIX system attempts to call this remote AUDIX system for the purpose of transmitting messages and updates.

This is the type of connection the AUDIX system will attempt to set up for the connection to the remote AUDIX system.

—Enter dcp if this remote system is accessed using normal DCP channels (that is, AUDIX channels 1-4).

—Enter rs232a if this remote system is accessed using the RS-232 modems or data modules (unless these channels use synchronous modem pooling somewhere in the link; then use rs232s).

—Enter rs232s if this remote system is accessed using direct RS-232 cabling.

∙data rate

This field is used when the local AUDIX system attempts to call this remote AUDIX system for the purpose of transmitting messages and updates.

This is the data rate the AUDIX system will try to use for the call. The rate depends on the facilities involved in the call:

—Enter 64000 if the remote system is colocated at the same switch as the local system.

—Enter 64000 if the switch’s Data Service 1 (DS1) interface to a T1 Carrier is used to call the remote system.

—Enter 56000 if a 56 Kbps network is used.

—Enter 64000 if direct RS-232 cabling is used to a colocated system.

—Enter 19200 if modems (MNP mode) are used for switched RS-232.

—Enter 9600 if modems (fixed rate) are used for switched RS-232.

—Enter 19200 (asynchronous) if 7400A or 7400B data modules are used for RS-232 converted to switched DCP mode 2.

—Enter 9600 if modems are used for DCP mode 2 (modem pooling).

∙channel

This field identifies which RS-232 channel is used when the local AUDIX system attempts to call this remote AUDIX system for the purpose of transmitting messages and updates.

If one of the RS-232 channels is connected to this remote system, enter the number (5 or 6) of the channel here. If both RS-232 channels are connected to this remote system, leave this field blank.

∙dial string

This field is used when the local AUDIX system attempts to call this remote AUDIX system for the purpose of transmitting messages and updates. It will also be used whenever a connection test to this remote system is performed from the local system.

On R1V3 and R1V4 systems, zero (0) to 30 characters can be entered. On R1V5 or later systems, zero

(0) to 65 characters can be entered. Permissible characters depend on the type of switch and/or modem through which the AUDIX system is dialing.

The following are examples:
