Avaya and predecessors built four different voice mail systems for Partner.
Of course, there are others from third parties; they are not reviewed here.
Only Partner Plus and better support voice mail. Partner Basic does not have
the ability to support any Partner voice mail systems.
The original, ' , uses a separate box, like a desktop PC, and
integrates via station ports in the Partner system.
' @ , supported on Partner Plus and later systems, is a module
(circuit card) that plugs into a 2- or 5-slot carrier, and integrates via
the digital bus. As a card, it “emulates” a certain number of station
ports.
@ " ' , , * * . 3 @ ' 6 is a miniaturized voice mail system
embedded in a PC card, and plugs into Endeavor and ACS processors.
It emulates 2 station ports, but doesn’t take up any carrier slots, and is
ideal for smaller systems due to low cost.
' , , , a full replacement for Partner Mail VS, also is built into a
module (circuit card), plugging into 2- and 5-slot carriers. Partner
Messaging is compatible with Avaya’s integrated messaging strategy,
and has LAN access for message exchange with other services.
Voice mail systems are often compared by capacity. In this overview, we
cover the following:
B + – how many active calls can access the voice mail system at
one time. Ranges from 2 – 6.
B : – how many different users can accept messages and
administer their mailbox.
C , – how much total voice can be recorded.
The table below compares some versions of these systems when used on
Partner ACS. Later, we describe the systems in more detail.
