Table 1-1. Considerations for the DEFINTIY AUDIX system
Native and Non-native Mode
The DEFINITY AUDIX system can operate with almost any Lucent 
Technologies switch release. However, only DEFINITY switch releases 
7.1 and later will recognize the DEFINITY AUDIX system’s TN568 circuit 
pack. 
The circuitry for the DEFINITY AUDIX system is assigned a vintage 
number that communicates the system’s function to the switch. The 
vintage number for DEFINITY AUDIX system Release 4.0 is 48. Switch 
releases 7.1 and later recognize this number as belonging to the 
DEFINITY AUDIX system’s TN568 circuit pack. Switch releases earlier 
than 7.1recognize vintage number 48 as belonging to one of two digital 
port circuit packs:
■ TN754, an 8-port digital circuit pack
■ TN2181, a 16-port digital circuit pack

4. Even though the TN2181 is a 16-port digital station circuit pack, 
the DEFINITY AUDIX system will only support 12 voice ports. 
Administering the DEFINITY AUDIX system’s voice ports for 
TN2181 emulation requires the use of special procedures. For 
more information about voice port administration, see Chapter 2

5. Even though the DEFINITY AUDIX system is emulating a circuit 
pack other than the TN568, the digital port circuit pack the system 
is emulating will still register a vintage number 48. This vintage 
number is unique to DEFINITY AUDIX system Release 4.0. See the 
system description for the customer’s switch for more information 
about accessing circuit packs’ vintage numbers.
