10 Networking
DEFINITY ONE provides powerful voice and data capabilities and connections to a variety of voice and data networks. DEFINITY ONE builds on Avaya’s established networking strengths to offer you network- management features, network interfaces, a variety of private-network configurations, and end-to-end ISDN capabilities. Avaya’s leadership in developing and supporting open international networking standards is also apparent in DEFINITY ONE’s compatibility with the QSIG global standards.
Note: Some applications or products are unavailable in some countries. Please check with your local distributor for further information.
Uniform Dial Plan
Uniform Dial Plan provides a common 4- or 5-digit dial plan that can be shared among a group of private-network switches. Interswitch and intraswitch dialing both require 4- or 5-digit dialing. This feature is used with either:
•An electronic tandem network (ETN)
•A main/satellite/tributaryconfiguration and Distributed Communications Systems (DCS).
In addition, it can provide uniform 4- or 5-digit dialing between 2 or more private- switching systems without ETN, main, satellite, and tributary switches, or DCS.
With Uniform Dial Plan (UDP), a unique 4- or 5-digit number is assigned to each station in the network. A unique number (private-network location code plus extension) can be used at any location in the ETN to access that station. DEFINITY ONE enhances the standard uniform dial plan with the unrestricted 5-digit uniform dial plan, which allows up to five digits to be parsed for call routing.
Distributed Communication System —
Integrated SDN and Non-Integrated SDN
For a multilocation company that requires several systems, DCS may be the answer. DCS is an arrangement of private-network switches, referred to as nodes. The maximum number of nodes that can be in a DCS complex varies from 20 to 63, depending on the particular configuration of switches. DCS nodes can be physically located in the same building, spread across a campus, or scattered across the country or around the world. Digital trunks interconnect the switches that serve the DCS complex. The links connecting a Distributed Communication System may also be provided via a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
The functions and features of Distributed Communication System are made possible by the use of an advanced interprocessor data link connecting each switch, allowing call-processing information to be passed from one switch to another. The data link supplies selected feature transparency and efficient utilization of shared facilities.
