Alarm Origination
In addition to the TN566 or TN567 multifunction circuit pack, previous releases of the DEFINITY AUDIX system used a secondary circuit pack, called an alarm board. The alarm board diagnosed the DEFINITY AUDIX system for trouble and posted active alarms for the system administrator and Lucent Technologies’ Initialization and Administration System (INADS). The TN568 circuit pack performs these functions on Release 4.0.
External Modem
In addition to the alarm board, previous DEFINITY AUDIX system releases used an internal modem to notify INADS of active alarms and provide the Remote Services Center (RSC) remote access to the system for maintenance and alarm resolution. DEFINITY AUDIX system Release 4.0 uses an external modem to perform these tasks.
The change to an external modem helps reduce the space the system occupies in the switch. It also improves the system’s flexibility for meeting international communication standards.
Administration Impacts
Because DEFINITY AUDIX system Release 4.0 uses an external modem, rather than an internal modem, customers can use a number of modems with their DEFINTIY AUDIX systems.4 If customers use a modem other than the U.S. Robotics 33.6 Kbps Sportster
NOTE:
Lucent Technologies does not provide maintenance support for external modems other than the U.S. Robotics 33.6 Kbps Sportster modem for the DEFINITY AUDIX system Release 4.0.
The system’s default initialization string corresponds to the U.S. Robotics 33.6 Kbps Sportster modem. System administrators should look for other modem initialization strings in the documentation for their modems and enter these initialization strings manually. For more
4.Lucent Technologies recommends using the U.S. Robotics 33.6 Kbps Sportster modem in the U.S. and other countries where this modem meets communication standards.
