QSIG Global Networking

DEFINITY ECS was a pioneer in providing compatibility with th e QSIG global net-
working protocol. This means you can connect the DEFINITY ECS with other
switches throughout the world. Lucent Technologies develo ped QSIG Global
Networking feature to comply with the QSIG standards developed by the Euro-
pean Computer Manufacturer’s Association and the International Standar dization
Organization. It supports the ISDN-Primary Rate Interface connection from
switch to switch as long as both switches support the same protocol.
QSIG Global Networking has been continually refined with each DEFIN ITY ECS
release. The Lucent Technologies implementation of QS IG features the Name
Identification supplementary service and the Call Forwarding and Call Transfer
features.
