IA 770 INTUITY AUDIX Messaging Application
334 Installation and Upgrades for G700 and S8300
December 2003
No Data Link and No Voice Ports to Connect
In earlier versions of INTUITY AUDIX that ran on a separate PC connected to a switch, the voice
communication (messages, announcements, greetings, and so on) occurred over analog voice ports, while
control messages (timestamps, called and calling party data, message-waiting signals, and so on)
occurred over a data link on the LAN or through X.25 protocol connections.
Since the IA 770 INTUITY AUDIX system runs on a CWY1 circuit board that you plug directly into the
S8300 processor, the analog voice ports and the data link do not use physical ports. Instead, the INTUITY
AUDIX software and the switch software send voice signals to one another using virtual ports over the
TDM bus connection of the CWY1 board and processor board.
AUDIX Hunt Group Still Necessary
The logic of voice ports, however, remains the same. This logic means that an INTUITY AUDIX hunt
group must still be defined with 4 or 8 virtual voice ports and extension numbers. Other switch
adminstration tasks that are associated with proper hunt group functions, such as creating COR, COS, and
coverage paths, are also required. The S8300 and INTUITY AUDIX software applications send control
messages to each other by using the same shared S8300 processor, and therefore, administration of a data
link is not required.
IA 770 INTUITY AUDIX Installations and S8300
Upgrades for IA 770 INTUITY AUDIX
To install an IA 770 INTUITY AUDIX system, you must install the CWY1 board and install the
INTUITY AUDIX software. The INTUITY AUDIX software is included in the S8300 software load (the
.tar file), but it must be installed using INTUITY AUDIX installation tools.
To install the IA 770 INTUITY AUDIX system on an S8300 Release 1.1 system, you must first replace
the hard drive of the S8300 and upgrade the S8300 software first. The hard drive replacement requires a
backup of translations to your laptop and a subsequent restore of translations.
For complete information on IA 770 INTUITY AUDIX Installations, including the S8300 hard drive
replacement, see the IA INTUITY AUDIX documentation on the Avaya S8300, S8500, and S8700 Media
Server Library CD, 555-233-825, or the IA 770 INTUITY AUDIX Messaging Application Installation
Checklist and Instructions, 585-313-159. Both of these documents are included in the IA 770 INTUITY
AUDIX Messaging Application Technician Kit
