Native Mode

The ability of the switch to recognize the DEFINITY AUDIX as a DEFINITY AUDIX circuit pack. With

vices Center (RSC).
Non-native Mode
Without native mode, the TN568 slot is provisioned as a TN754, TN2181 or TN746B. The second
slot occupied by the DEFINITY AUDIX system Release 4.0 is not reserved, and alarms are
reported as alarms for a TN754, TN2181, or TN746B.
