Chapter 7, Mixtures of RS-232 and DCP Networks, presents examples of combination networks where a
single adjunct might use RS-232 and DCP or where one location uses RS-232 and another location uses
DCP. Requirements are provided in earlier chapters.
Chapter 8, EIA RS-232 Cabling, explains how to install the RS-232 interface at the AUDIX system for
an RS-232 interface at the switch or for a dedicated RS-232 interface.
Chapter 9, DCP Cabling and Administration, explains how to install and administer the DCP interface
on the switch for the AUDIX system.
Chapter 10, DCP Mode 1 Installation and Administration, briefly describes the requirements of a switch
that uses DCP Mode 1 (56 Kbps) communication between adjuncts.
Chapter 11, DCP Mode 2 Installation and Administration, explains how to install and administer
modem pooling for a switch that uses DCP Mode 2 communication between adjuncts. Both stand-alone
modem pooling and modem pooling that uses the modem to control the data set (D-Lead control) are
described.
Chapter 12, DCP Mode 3 Installation and Administration, briefly explains how to install and administer
a DCP Mode 3 (64 Kbps) interface at the switch.
Chapter 13, AUDIX System Administration, contains procedures for administering the AUDIX systems
for networking. It also contains an administrator’s worksheet to help keep track of network parameters.
Chapter 14, AUDIX Network Testing, contains procedures for testing the network links, for testing
transmission between AUDIX systems, and for testing the Remote Updates feature of the AUDIX
system.
Appendix A, Network Considerations, is written for the BCSDC. Every AUDIX network order must
pass through the engineering center for design and approval. Information pertains to AUDIX system
requirements, trunking between the switches if the network is a remote network, and administrative
requirements that must be passed on to the SIM.
Appendix B, Sales Engineering Notes, is designed to help the branch office implement an AUDIX
network.
Appendix C, AMIS Analog Networking, contains a brief description of the AMIS Analog Networking
feature which is an alternative to digital networking.
This document also includes an abbreviations section, glossary, and index.
CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS ISSUE
The entire document has been updated to reflect AUDIX R1V7 enhancements. Specific changes include:
Network loop-around testing capability for 56 and 64 Kbps setups have been added (this is administered
on the maintenance : network form).
The automatic network connection turnaround capability and the option to send messages to non-
administered recipients has been added (this is administered on the system : translation :
machine : audix/amis/call delivery form).
This document has also been updated to reflect AUDIX setups with DEFINITY Communications System
Generic 3 where appropriate.
