Switch Integration Hardware Devices and Connections

The switch and integration type determine the hardware and software required for the integration. The Intuity AUDIX system supports the following devices:

LAN circuit card

This circuit card is the hardware device through which information is exchanged between the Intuity AUDIX Release 5 system and the DEFINITY ECS 6/7/8/9 switches equipped with a C-LAN circuit card.

EICON or GP Synch circuit cards

This circuit card is the hardware device through which information is exchanged between the Intuity AUDIX system and the Avaya System 75 switch, the Avaya System 85 switch, and the Avaya DEFINITY G1, G2, and G3 switches.

3A translator

This is a protocol converter BRI to SMDI. There is one at each end of the circuit although the one at the 5E is inside the switch. A Serial interface card is required in the Intuity AUDIX for this type of integration, the card is a Equniox board with eight ports.

202T modem

This device links to the Intuity AUDIX system through the serial interface circuit card to get information from the Northern Telecom (Nortel) DMS-100 and Nortel SL-100 switches. The card is a Equniox board with eight ports. It is imperative that the modems on a Nortel Centrex integration be identical on both ends (they are always used in pairs). It can also be used with the Avaya 5ESS� switch.

Digital station interface circuit card (VB-PC card)

This circuit card is the hardware device through which information is exchanged between the Intuity AUDIX system and the Nortel Meridian�1 and Rolm/Siemens as well as other switches. See Requirements for Other Supported Switches for information.

Direct connection

The Nortel�DMS-100 and Nortel�SL-100 switches can connect to the serial interface circuit card without any intervening hardware, only when they are within 50 feet of each other.

Inband connection

Ordinary tip/ring analog wiring (via the analog voice ports) to connect the Intuity AUDIX system and the switch communicate via DTMF tones. That is all that is required for inband integrations with the following switches:

Avaya MERLIN LEGEND�
Avaya System 25
Avaya DEFINITY R6csi and later and DEFINITY Mode Code
Nortel Norstar DR3/DR6
Siemens Hicom 150/200/300

Note: The Hicom 300 referenced is sold outside North America. There is a Hicom 300 sold in North America with different integration requirements.

Note: The Hicom 300 referenced is sold outside North America. There is a Hicom 300 sold in North America with different integration requirements.
