Software
AUDIX software allows the DEFINITY AUDIX system to communicate
with the switch through a telephone-like interface. This type of operation
is called set-type emulation. The commands that subscribers and the
switch use to access the system’s software correspond to the interface
on a digital telephone, or set.
The digital set the system emulates depends on whether the system is
operating in native or non-native mode. In switch releases earlier than
7.1, the DEFINITY AUDIX system emulates a 7405D digital telephone. In
switch releases 7.1 and later, the system communicates with the switch
using an ADX16D set-type interface, through which the switch can
recognize the system’s AUDIX software.

Networking
Because of its telephone-like interface, the system can send and receive
messages from other voice messaging systems as a telephone can.
AUDIX software helps the system to communicate efficiently with other
AUDIX systems.
The DEFINITY AUDIX system has two networking options that use these
capabilities for message exchange:
■ AMIS Analog Networking
■ Digital Networking
AMIS Analog Networking
AMIS is a standard protocol among voice messaging systems. AMIS
Analog Networking uses the Message Delivery feature to send
messages to subscribers on other voice messaging systems that use
the AMIS protocol.
AMIS Analog Networking sends a message through the system’s voice
ports much like a telephone call. The recipient’s voice mail system
receives the message as it would receive any other voice message and
stores it in the recipient’s voice mailbox. Other voice messaging systems
can send messages to the DEFINITY AUDIX system in the same way.
Digital Networking
Digital Networking is an efficient way for DEFINITY AUDIX, AUDIX R1,
I
NTUITY, and Interchange systems to communicate with each other
without using the systems’ voice ports. The DEFINITY AUDIX system has
one Digital Networking port that can be dedicated solely to Digital
1. For more information about digital station emulations, see
