DEFINITY AUDIX messaging system
While many voice messaging systems require separate equipment and
connections, the DEFINITY AUDIX Release 4.0 system easily installs directly into
a DEFINITY BCS cabinet to support advanced multimedia voice messaging
capabilities without the need for an adjunct processor.
The DEFINITY AUDIX system gives small- to medium-sized businesses full voice
messaging performance in a streamlined, cost-effective package. The result is
high-performance voice messaging no matter what your business size.
Each DEFINITY AUDIX system supports up to 2000 mailboxes and stores up to a
maximum of 100 hours of recorded messages using a maximum of 12 ports (in
two-port increments). With each DEFINITY AUDIX package, you also receive a
complete set of end-user and product-support documentation.
The system includes such features as multiple personal greetings, full-functioned
automated attendants, outcalling for message notification, and multiple language
support. The DEFINITY AUDIX system includes both analog (Audio Messaging
Interchange Specification [AMIS]) and proprietary digital networking software,
which allows the system to exchange voice messages, subscriber profiles, and
message status information with other voice messaging systems.
By embedding the voice messaging hardware within the switch, DEFINITY AUDIX
provides the following advantages:
■ Because it is integrated within the switch, separate review and approval by
government agencies for compliance with electrical requirements and other
technical specifications often are not required.
■ Connecting to the backplane provides direct access to interfaces such as
time slots, signaling mechanisms, and power feeds. DEFINITY AUDIX
uses either display set (DS) integration or X.25 integration. TCP/IP
integration is not available.
■ Bypassing analog ports and digital conversions provides a more efficient,
higher quality call storage process.
■ You can use the system’s maintenance strategy with DEFINITY AUDIX to
allow remote maintenance by the same team that maintains the switch.
The entire DEFINITY AUDIX system is contained on one circuit pack (two slot
positions are required in most cases; only one slot position is used if the circuit
pack is installed in slot 6 of a CMC cabinet). The components mounted on the
circuit pack include: the central processing unit, the hard disk for real-time
storage, a magneto-optical disk drive for software updating and backup, the digital
signal processor complexes that do speech processing, and the time slot
interfaces for connecting the system to the DEFINITY switch.
