, 585-300-110.
AUDIX resides on a combined p air of circuit pac ks: the TN566 Multifunction
Board (MFB) and the TN2169 Alarm Board (ALB). Bec ause of its size this
combination occ upies 4 slots, but only 1 slot is func tional as far as the switch is
concerned. The other 4 slots are seen b y the switch as ‘‘AUDIX-reserved’’ slots
(or AD XDP-RS/ADX8 D-RS.)
In DP mode the TN566 pack supp orts up to 8 voice ports, eac h with a primary
information channel and a sec ondary information channel. Ports are
administered in increments of 2. When a c all to a station with an AUDIX login is
not answered, AUDIX answers the call using 1 o f the available voice ports.
Unlike other AUDIX systems, DEFINITY AUDIX is not an adjunct.
!CAUTION:

Never do any of the following without first shutting down AUDIX. Follow

instructions in the ‘‘Po wer Do wn AUDI X System ’’ section in Chapter 1,
