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.
