Activity Menu
The list of main options voiced to subscribers when they access the DEFINITY AUDIX System.
Administration
The process of setting up a system (such as a switch or a voice mail system) so that it will function
as desired. Options and defaults are normally set up (translated) by the system administrator or
remote services personnel.
Alarm Board (ALB)
The hardware platform (TN2169 or TN2170) which works with the Multifunction board to provide
monitoring for system power and environmental status, -48 VDC to +12 VDC power conversion for
the system’s disk and tape drives, and remote terminal access. The TN2170 also provides
SCSI-to-Ethernet connectivity to support IMAPI.
Alarms
Hardware, software, or environmental problems that may affect system operation. These faults are
classified as
major, minor, or warning. They are recorded into an alarm log which can be
accessed either locally or remotely on a terminal connected to the system.
Analog Port Emulation
One of the two port emulation modes that DEFINITY AUDIX may employ. The other mode is digital
port board emulation. When emulating an analog port board (the TN746), only control link (CL)
integration is possible.
Angel

ated with call setup and port maintenance.
Announcement Fragment
A numbered piece of spoken voice mail information that makes up a system message or prompt.
Asynchronous Transmission
A form of serial communications where each transmitted character is bracketed with a start bit
and one or two stop bits.
Asynchronous Data Unit (ADU)
A small device that can extend data transmission far beyond recommended Electronic Industries
Association (EIA) limits over building wiring. System terminals may use a Z3A1 or Z3A4 ADU.
(Used in some digital networking configurations.)
