Overview
DEFINITY BCS and GuestWorks provide not only powerful voice and data
capabilities, but connections to a variety of voice and data networks as well.
Lucent Technologies has long been a leader in networking. The system continues
to build on those established networking strengths to offer you network
management features, network interfaces, a variety of private network
configurations, and end-to-end ISDN capabilities. Lucent Technologies’
leadership in developing and supporting open international networking standards
is also apparent in the system’s compatibility with the QSIG global standard.

Some features and solutions are unavailable in some countries. Please

Centralized Voice Mail via Interswitch
Mode Codes
Provides the capability to share a voice mail system among several switches
using the Mode Code - Voice Mail System Interface. This feature provides a cost
effective choice for multiple sites by eliminating the need for a voice mail system
at each site.
A Centralized Voice Mail network can consist of DEFINITY BCS Issue 6 or later,
DEFINITY ECS R8 or later, ProLogix™ R3 or later, Merlin Legend
®
R6.1 or later,
and Merlin Magix™ systems. Either a DEFINITY BCS, ProLogix, or DEFINITY
ECS switch must be the host for the voice mail system, and UDP and ISDN-PRI
software are required at each site. See
DEFINITY ECS Administration for Network
Connectivity
and Merlin Legend Network Reference for more information.
