Software

AUDIX software allows the DEFINITY AUDIX system to communicate with the switch through a telephone-like interface. This type of operation is called set-type emulation. The commands that subscribers and the switch use to access the system’s software correspond to the interface on a digital telephone, or set.

The digital set the system emulates depends on whether the system is operating in native or non-native mode. In switch releases earlier than 7.1, the DEFINITY AUDIX system emulates a 7405D digital telephone. In switch releases 7.1 and later, the system communicates with the switch using an ADX16D set-type interface, through which the switch can recognize the system’s AUDIX software.1

Networking

Because of its telephone-like interface, the system can send and receive messages from other voice messaging systems as a telephone can. AUDIX software helps the system to communicate efficiently with other AUDIX systems.

The DEFINITY AUDIX system has two networking options that use these capabilities for message exchange:

■AMIS Analog Networking

■Digital Networking

AMIS Analog Networking

AMIS is a standard protocol among voice messaging systems. AMIS Analog Networking uses the Message Delivery feature to send messages to subscribers on other voice messaging systems that use the AMIS protocol.

AMIS Analog Networking sends a message through the system’s voice ports much like a telephone call. The recipient’s voice mail system receives the message as it would receive any other voice message and stores it in the recipient’s voice mailbox. Other voice messaging systems can send messages to the DEFINITY AUDIX system in the same way.

Digital Networking

Digital Networking is an efficient way for DEFINITY AUDIX, AUDIX R1, INTUITY, and Interchange systems to communicate with each other without using the systems’ voice ports. The DEFINITY AUDIX system has one Digital Networking port that can be dedicated solely to Digital
