Features and Compatibility
Compatibility	1-6

Operating in non-native mode does not affect subscribers’ or outside callers’ use of the system. System administrators, however, should be aware that messages from the switch, such as alarms, that refer to a TN754 or a TN2181 circuit pack the system is emulating may actually refer to the DEFINITY AUDIX system.

NOTE:

Lucent Technologies strongly recommends that the DEFINITY AUDIX system emulates a TN2181 digital port circuit pack in switch versions 2 and later. A TN2181 emulation supports a maximum of 12 voice ports, while a TN754 emulation only supports a maximum of 8 voice ports. If the DEFINITY AUDIX system emulates a TN2181 circuit pack, system expansion may be easier. Switch versions earlier than 2 do not support TN2181 circuit pack emulation.

Table 1-2 shows which switches and switch software releases support the DEFINITY AUDIX system and whether or not they support the system in native mode. For more information about the TN568 circuit pack or the system’s operations native and non-native mode, see Chapter 2. For more information about Alarm Origination and the DEFINITY AUDIX system’s interactions with the switch, see Chapter 3.
