The Digital Networking feature
uses the proprietary AUDIX digital protocol to exchange messages, subscriber
profiles, and message status information with other machines. The digital
protocol uses a digital file format, similar to a data file transfer
between two computer systems, to transmit the information. Digitally
transmitted messages are communicated quickly and with excellent sound
quality.
The Digital Networking feature
package supports the TCP/IP protocol over an Ethernet connection to
local and wide area TCP/IP networks. Data connections serve both local
and remote networking, depending on the customer's system configuration.
Digital networking provides subscribers
with the ability to exchange voice messages, text messages, and attached
files from networked sources, including:
- Messages from subscribers on other INTUITY
AUDIX systems
- Message Manager text components
- Networked Internet Messaging subscribers
Digital networking also allows subscribers to
receive fax messages from remote subscribers on INTUITY AUDIX Release
3 or later systems. These fax messages can, in turn, be forwarded, and
if the subscribers have Message Manager or Internet Messaging, they
can be displayed or printed to a printer.
