Exit Command	An AUDIX Enhanced II (R1V3) feature that allows callers to use the **X (Exit)
	command to have AUDIX disconnect a call without hanging up. This is especially
	useful during calls made from a toll phone or for ending Outcalling sessions from a
	remote location.
Expansion	The upper cabinet of an AUDIX two-cabinet configuration, where the base cabinet is
Cabinet	the AUDIX one-cabinet system.
Extended RAM	Initialization option selected during a nonstandard initialization that runs extended
Test	hardware tests on the FP processor memory (tests take about 10 to 15 minutes).
Failure Status	Failure codes in bytes reported by a processor’s firmware. Use the Control Mode
Word (FSW)	Menu (Function 1) or the maintenance : system : hardware status
	form to show these bytes.
Faults	See Alarms.
Feature	The major AUDIX subsystem that controls feature operation, communicates with the
Processor (FP)	switch through the data link, and supports the maintenance and administration
	interfaces.
Field	An area on a form, menu, or report where you can type or display information. For
	input fields, fill in the blanks or type over information already there. Read-only or
File	output fields cannot be changed; you usually press	ENTER	to display information.
	A collection of like records (data) stored under a single name in software.
File Cabinet	A storage area for subscribers to keep copies of messages for future reference or
	action.
File	An AUDIX R1V4 feature that allows data from crucial filesystems to be continuously
Redundancy	copied to backup (mirror) filesystems while the system is running. If the system has
	some problem where an original ‘‘master’’ filesystem cannot be used, the backup
	‘‘slave’’ filesystem is placed in service automatically.
Filesystem	A collection of related files (programs or data) stored on disk. Six types of
	filesystems are required to initialize AUDIX and provide full service: adat, sdat, sst,
	vdat, vtext, and boot.
Fixed Storage	A permanently mounted disk drive on AUDIX-L.
Drive (FSD)
Form	A screenful of related data that can be shown on the display terminal. AUDIX
	software transfers screen forms out to the terminal where the user can display, add, or
	change information. Also called Screen Form.
Format	To set up a disk with a predetermined arrangement of characters so the system can
	interpret meaningful information. If a disk is reformatted, all data is erased.
Full-Duplex	Simultaneous two-way, independent, asynchronous transmission in both directions.
Full Service	A fully functional AUDIX system with data and voice link communication with the
	switch that answers calls with good quality and no alarms.
Function	Individual steps or procedures within a Voice Mailbox activity.
Function Keys	See Programmed Function Keys.
