DCS Administration

Overview

The Intuity AUDIX system can serve a maximum of 20 switches when the switches are part of a Distributed Communications System (DCS) network. The switch that hosts the Intuity AUDIX system connects it to the other switches in the network and provides gateway services to the Intuity AUDIX system. To provide these services, the switches in the network and the Intuity AUDIX system require additional administration. Only this additional administration is described in this section. It is presumed that the basic configuration shown in Administration for Switch-to-Intuity AUDIX System Link is up and working and that all DCS administration between the switches is up and working.

For each configuration, this section shows what has to be administered on the remote switch, on the host switch (if anything), and on the Intuity AUDIX system. Use each of these configurations as building blocks or as entry points, to determine what administration is required to set up a link to the Intuity AUDIX system.

Prerequisites

The configurations shown in the section are based on the following presumptions:

How to Use This Section

This section shows how you administer a link between the Intuity AUDIX system and any number of switches in an established DCS network. Since the information in this section presumes that the DCS network is up and working and that the link from the Intuity AUDIX system to the host switch is also up and working, it is not necessary to review every configuration shown in this section. Determine how the switch is configured in the network (through Ethernet, X.25, or ISDN) and then select the configuration that best matches your situation.

Administration for the following configurations are shown in this section:

Configuration A — Ethernet LAN Link

The figure for Configuration A — Ethernet LAN Link illustrates Configuration A. This configuration includes two R7 or later switches connected through Ethernet (Host - Node #1 and Remote - Node #2), and the Intuity AUDIX system connected to the host switch. The information in this section shows you how to administer the link from the Intuity AUDIX system to a remote switch connected on the LAN.
