Prerequisites
Display Set and Control-Link
Integration
The DEFINITY AUDIX system can be connected to the switch in one of two ways:
display-set (DS) or control-link (CL) integration. CL integration requires an
external connection from the switch to an RS-232C port on the multifunction
board (MFB) of the DEFINITY AUDIX system. DS integration uses a channel
(internal to the switch) that would otherwise be used to transfer display-set
information.
The procedural differences due to these different characteristics are clearly
defined in the tasks and diagrams that follow. However, you need to know which
integration type — DS or CL — to set up for this installation. If you do not know
whether this system is to be installed for DS or CL integration, contact the project
manager or the remote support center before proceeding.
Task 1: Verify the Selected Site
NOTE:
Although defining and ensuring that the site meets the DEFINITY AUDIX
system requirements is the responsibility of the Project Manager and the
customer, and must be completed before you install the DEFINITY AUDIX
system, the guidelines are listed here so that you are aware of these
requirements.
Verify that the site selected for the switch and the DEFINITY AUDIX system
provides the following:
For a DEFINITY AUDIX system being installed in an existing switch, five
(four for a G3vs) contiguous slots in a switch carrier to house the
DEFINITY AUDIX system (see Planning for the DEFINITY AUDIX System ,
585-300-904, for switch reconfiguration details)
Easy access for cabling
Good workspace for the system administrator and/or operators
Temperature range of 50 to 100° F (10 to 38° C), with the ideal range being
50 to 80° F
Humidity range of 20 to 80%, noncondensing. In addition, make sure the
site is secure and provides protection from excessive sunlight, heat, cold,
chemicals, static electricity, magnetic fields, vibration, and grime.
