Description

A MERLIN MAGIX system without a voice messaging system (VMS) can use the VMS of another MERLIN MAGIX, MERLIN LEGEND (Release 6.1 and later), DEFINITY ECS, DEFINITY BCS, or DEFINITY ProLogix system. The sharing of the VMS is transparent to the users of both systems. Thus, Voice Mail, Auto Attendant, and fax messaging can be used by extensions on a MERLIN MAGIX system that does not contain a VMS.

Each MERLIN MAGIX system that is sharing the VMS must be connected directly by tandem trunks to the system containing the VMS. No other system can be in between (see the Network Reference for more information).

After a message has been received for a specific extension, the VMS turns on the Message Waiting light on that extension's telephone, regardless of whether the extension is on the local or remote system.

Centralized Voice Messaging is supported with the following voice messaging systems:

• MERLIN Messaging System
• Octel 100 Messaging (also known as Messaging 2000)
• Intuity AUDIX
• IS III AUDIX Voice Power (no longer available)
• MERLIN LEGEND Mail (installed on a MERLIN LEGEND system of Release 6.1 or later only)

See the Network Reference for the "Considerations," "Constraints," and "Feature Interactions" for Centralized Voice Messaging.
