This appendix contains information intended to assist the AT&T sales engineer. The account team should
provide any information requested in this appendix to the BCSDC.
BASIC AUDIX AND MISCELLANEOUS AUDIX FEATURES
There is no formal engineering responsibility for basic and miscellaneous AUDIX features. Basic designs
for new AUDIX systems, whether stand-alone or integrated with a compatible switch, should be completed
at the branch office. This includes sizing of the voice ports and disk space when associated with normal
AUDIX operation.
DCS NETWORKS AND AUDIX
If an AUDIX system that uses Mode 3 networking is to be added or installed as part of a Digital
Communications System (DCS) network, the BCSDC must be contacted in order to account for the
increased traffic the AUDIX system will create on the tie-trunks among the DCS switch nodes (AUDIX
voice calls use the DCS network tie-trunk facilities).
ENGINEERING WORKSHEETS
When a customer is implementing an AUDIX network, the branch must submit an E1154 form and Design
Implementation Guide (DIG) forms to the the Business Communications Systems Design Center (BCSDC)
before any network engineering will be completed. The branch office should also order a Design
Implementation Guide from the BCSDC. To order this document, contact the Design Center Control Desk
at (303) 850-8884.
The BCSDC will provide the branch office with worksheets that the branch must complete if a customer
has ordered DCS AUDIX, AUDIX Networking, and/or DC AUDIX. The BCSDC is responsible for the
power equipment for DC AUDIX.
QUALITY PROTECTION PLAN CHANGE NOTICE (QPPCN)
Any upgraded equipment may be ordered by using a Price Element Code (PEC) or, in some cases, by a
QPPCN through the QPPCN Coordinator. Marketing should verify that QPPCNs are kept up-to-date and,
with each addition, make sure that any specific QPPCNs which apply to that addition have been completed.
