must administer the maximum number of voice ports the DEFINITY
AUDIX system
will allow.

If the DEFINITY AUDIX system emulates a
TN754 8-port circuit pack, the administrator or technician will need to
administer 8 voice ports. On the other hand, if the DEFINITY AUDIX
system emulates a TN2181 16-port circuit pack, the administrator
should only administer 12 voice ports because that is the maximum
number of voice ports the DEFINITY AUDIX system supports.

Migration Impacts
DEFINITY AUDIX system Release 4.0 may not be the best voice
messaging solution for customers who use more than 12 voice ports on
previous releases of the system. If these customers migrate to DEFINITY
AUDIX system Release 4.0, they may experience a significant decline in
the speed of their voice messaging service. These customers may
consider migrating to an I
NTUITY messaging system. For more
information about the I
NTUITY messaging system, see INTUITY Messaging
Solutions
.
Digital Networking Port
DEFINITY AUDIX system Release 4.0 has one digital networking port,
while previous releases of the system had two digital networking ports.
Although this change has only minimal affects on high-speed Digital
Networking traffic—DCP Mode 1 or DCP Mode 3 connections—this
change significantly reduces the Digital Networking traffic the system
can support with low-speed Digital Networking—DCP Mode 2
connections.
For DCP Mode 2 connections, the following traffic limits apply:
■ The system can network with only 10 remote AUDIX nodes.
■ The system can accommodate no more than 100 local
subscribers.
■ The system can accommodate no more than 10,000 remote
subscribers.
Customers whose DCP Mode 2 Digital Networking traffic requirements
exceed those for DEFINITY AUDIX system Release 4.0 should consider
the I
NTUITY messaging system. For more information about DEFINITY
AUDIX system Release 4.0 traffic guidelines, see Chapter 3
. For more
3. This rule differs from previous system administration conventions
where administrators were required to administer the maximum
number of voice ports the switch would allow.
