9. DCP Cabling and Administration

_______________________________________________________________________________________

This chapter provides explanations and illustrations for the cabling, translation, and use of the AUDIX networking channels for supported host switches. If you are setting up a connection requiring interlocation facilities, use this chapter to set up the Digital Communications Protocol (DCP) channels from the AUDIX system to the switch, then go to Chapter 10, DCP Mode 1 Installation and Administration, Chapter 11, DCP Mode 2 Installation and Administration, or Chapter 12, DCP Mode 3 Installation and Administration to set up the interlocation facilities.

ACC(E) WIRING TO THE SWITCH

For a System 75, System 85, DEFINITY Generic 1, Generic 2, or Generic 3, the DCP circuits at the switch are normally wired to the cross-connect field using 25-pair cable. If you are connecting the AUDIX system to a MERLIN II, D8W-87 modular cord is always used (that is, the cross-connect field is not required).

NOTE

MERLIN II is supported for local networking only. Remote networking/modem pooling with MERLIN II is not supported.

System 75, System 85, and DEFINITY Communications Systems

For the System 75, System 85, and DEFINITY Generic 1, Generic 2, or Generic 3, the AUDIX DCP ports must be wired to the switch through the cross-connect field. Figure 9-1,DCP Cabling to the Switch Using the H600-331, Group 2 Cable, shows how this is done.
