OVERVIEW: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES
1-3
TMS
The TMS is a time-multiplexed, space-division switch that connects modules for communications in a
time-slot information between the modules and the TMS. The TMS processor, on command from the
501CC processor, directs the interconnections between the modules and the TMS.
SYSTEM ADJUNCTS
The installation of most System 85 and DEFINITY Generic 2 traditional modules is accompanied by
one or more system adjuncts that provide the customer with administrative or application functions that
do not reside on the switch. One adjunct is the AT&T Audio Information Exchange (AUDIX). The
other two adjuncts are the applications processors (APs) — the AP16 and the 3B5 AP.
AUDIX
AUDIX is a voice-mail system that can operate with System 85, DEFINITY Generic 2, or PBXs made
by other manufacturers. AUDIX enables subscribers to create, store, send, and receive spoken messages
and to distribute voice memos using just the telephone. The AUDIX processor uses disk storage for the
encoded voice messages.
When AUDIX is operating with a System 85 or DEFINITY Generic 2 with traditional modules, it
connects to the data communications interface unit (DCIU) of the switch through synchronous control
channels for data transmission and to analog ports for voice transmission. Several PBXs can share one
AUDIX adjunct.
More detailed descriptions of AUDIX appear in the AUDIX Reference Manual (585-300-201).
APs
The AP16 and 3B5 AP are installed with the System 85s and DEFINITY Generic 2 traditional modules
to provide customers with office automation functions and administrative functions for the system. The
APs also can provide the office automation functions as standalone units. Both APs are housed in
switch-size cabinets.
Auxiliary Cabinet
An auxiliary cabinet is not actually a system adjunct but a cabinet used to house shelf- and rack-
mounted peripheral equipment for the system. Auxiliary cabinets usually are located in the equipment
room with the adjunct cabinets, but they can be located at other sites to serve equipment such as an AP,
that is remotely located.
