Centralized Voice Mail with Mode Code Network

Intuity AUDIX can serve as a centralized voice messaging system within a communications network that used Mode Code signaling.

In the communications system and network MERLIN LEGEND and MERLIN MAGIX systems can communicate with a DEFINITY ECS system via mode codes. In such a network the Intuity AUDIX system is integrated with the DEFINITY ECS system but supports other nodes of the network that communicate by the mode code. The AUDIX system does not really know about the remote switches, it only knows about the host switch. That switch takes care of how to communicate with all of the remote switches.

The mode code (inband) like allows the Intuity AUDIX system and a DEFINITY ECS to communicate using the same analog telephone lines that connect the two systems for call answer and message retrieval. This integration uses touch-tone signalling, call progress signals, and switch hook flashes over the ordinary tip and ring analog wiring to transfer information about the telephone call between the two systems. This integration does not require a separate signaling link as needed for DCIU or LAN integrations.

As a centralized voice mail system nodes in the network can use the following features that Intuity AUDIX supports for the node network:

• fax as well as voice mail
• messaging waiting light activation
• remote coverage to voice mail


 


Note: It does not support transfer into voice mail.

For more information for setting these features up, see the Intuity Messaging Solutions Mode-Code Integration with DEFINITY Systems book, and the MERLIN LEGEND Switch documentation.
