Configuration The particular composition and hardware selected for a system, including external
connections, internal options, and peripheral equipment.
Control Mode A state of the AUDIX machine where firmware is in control and software is shut
down. The maintenance terminal displays the Control Mode Menu and forms are not
available.
Control Mode
Menu A list of Control Mode functions that may be done while software is shutdown. The
menu appears on the maintenance terminal and includes the options: (1) system
status, (2) environmental alarm status, (3) initialization history, (4) restart, (5) reboot,
(6) restart with Data Base Processor (DBP) reboot.
Corrupt
Filesystem A damaged filesystem. It may have an usually small or large size, or a negative
number on thefilesystem : list form.
Create Message
Activity Activity 1 on the Activity Menu, used by AUDIX subscribers to record or edit a voice
mail message.
Customer
Premises
Equipment
(CPE)
Any Integrated Systems Digital Network (ISDN) data or Terminal Equipment (TE)
that is installed at the customer site, not the central office (CO). The Network
Termination 1 (NT1) unit is the normal boundary between Customer Premise
Equipment (CPE and CO (off-site) equipment.
Data Base A collection of filesystems and files in disk memory that store the voice and nonvoice
(program data) necessary for AUDIX system operation.
Data Base
Processor (DBP) One of the major AUDIX subsystems that interacts with the other subsystems to move
voice and nonvoice data to and from disk.
Data Base
Processor
Interface
(DBPI)
This processor (UN160B) talks to a Voice Buffer (TN520) over the S-bus, and to the
Data Base Processor (DBP) through the Voice Storage and Forward Interface (VSFI)
UN162 circuit pack and the DBP/VME Bus.
Data
Communications
Equipment
(DCE)
Standard type of data interface normally used to connect to Data Terminal Equipment
(DTE) devices. DCE devices include the Data Service Unit (DSU), the Isolating Data
Interface (IDI), and the Modular Processor Data Module (MPDM).
Data
Communications
Interface Unit
(DCIU)
A switch device that allows nonvoice (data) communication between AUDIX and a
System 85 or DIMENSION PBX. The DCIU is a high-speed synchronous data link
that communicates with the Common Control switch processor over a Direct Memory
Access (DMA) channel that reads data directly from FP memory.
Data Link The connection from the AUDIX cabinet to the switch DCIU or SCI Interface boards
that enables nonvoice (data) messages to pass between AUDIX and the switch, such
as message-waiting lamp, time, and call-status information. The link varies according
to the type of AUDIX and switch used. Each AUDIX adjunct needs one data link.
Data Service
Unit (DSU) DATAPHONE II 2500 DSUs are synchronous DCE devices used for extended-local
AUDIX connections. The 2600 or 2700 series may also be used; these are more
expensive DSU options and support diagnostic testing and the DATAPHONE II
Service network system.
