Alarm Link	A 25-pair cable connection from the back of the AUDIX cabinet to alarm-reporting
	facilities on the switch. The link notifies remote service personnel about an AUDIX
	problem.
Alarm Log	A list of faults, including unit and device numbers, that is stored in a software file on
	disk. The maintenance : active alarm : display form shows alarm
	log faults in severity order. Use the maintenance : active alarm :
	specification form to select alarms by device, date, and so forth.
Alarms	Hardware, software, or environmental problems (detected by maintenance testing)
	that may affect system operation. Alarms (or faults) are classified as major, minor, or
	warning. They are reported to services personnel through the alarm link and logged
	in the alarm log on disk.
Alphanumeric	Alphabetic, numeric, or punctuation symbols.
Alternate	A disk drive procedure where bad tracks are mapped out on a defect map that lists bad
Tracking	tracks and alternate tracks to use. The Data Base Processor (DBP) reads this
	information during system initialization or when equipping a disk drive or removable
	cartridge.
Analog	A continuous signal (versus digital, discrete signals).
Announcement	A numbered piece of spoken AUDIX information that makes up a system message or
Fragment	prompt.
Applications	The AP 16 or 3B5 AP switch adjunct on a PBX that provides such services as
Processor (AP)	Directory, Electronic Document Communications (EDC), Message Center, and
	Unified Messaging. The AP on a 5ESS Switch is called an Advanced
	Communications Package (ACP).
Applications	Robust type of data link connection to an integrated 5ESS Switch in AUDIX R1V4
Processor	software.
Interface (API)
Architecture	The composition and functional components of a system.
Asynchronous	A small device that can extend data transmissions far beyond recommended
Data Unit	Electronic Industries Association (EIA) limits over building wiring. AUDIX and
(ADU)	terminals may connect to Z3A1, Z3A2, and Z3A4 ADUs.
Asynchronous	A form of serial communications where each transmitted character is bracketed with a
Transmission	start bit and one or two stop bits. The AUDIX display terminals use an asynchronous
	link to the Maintenance Interface (MI).
Audio	A complete voice mail message system operated by a touch-tone telephone and
Information	integrated into a switch.
Exchange
(AUDIX)
AUDIX Data	A software package compatible with AUDIX R1V2 or later software. ADAP allows
Acquisition	the AUDIX administrator to transfer subscriber, maintenance, or traffic data from
Package	AUDIX to a compatible 62xx or 63xx Personal Computer (PC) or Work Group
(ADAP)	System (WGS).
AUDIX Basic	The basic AUDIX software. This version is only available on currently installed
(R1V1)	AUDIX-L machines.
