4.1. Avaya Definity PBXs
The Avaya Definity product family includes the Definity 75 (4-wire) and the
Definity G3 (2-wire) PBXs. The Dialogic® PBX Integration Board can be
used with either of these switches. The PBXs use digital signaling to control
their station sets and digitized voice.
A Dialogic® PBX Integration Board has either four or eight channels that can
be connected directly to a station module in an Avaya PBX. The PBX switch
has many standard features that are supported by the PBX Integration Board,
such as:
• direct inward dialing (DID)
• speed dialing
• hunt groups
• message waiting indication
• user programmable Feature Keys
• called/calling number identification
• call forwarding

Port Number Settings
Each board in an Avaya PBX is assigned a port number. The number of ports
varies according to the board type (2-wire or 4-wire). A 2-wire board has 16
ports, whereas the 4-wire board has eight.
