Other QSIG Centralized Messaging

With a QSIG centralized messaging system, the remote switch is called a served user switch. When an AUDIX system supports a QSIG network, the served user switch does not need to be a DEFINITY ECS, but the host, or message center, switch must be.

QSIG allows a DEFINITY switch to be a served user switch of a non-DEFINITY message center switch. Therefore, the messaging system connected to the message center switch can serve the DEFINITY switch if that messaging system has a QSIG interface. Octel Serenade is such a messaging system.

The users on a served user switch in a QSIG messaging network may use only one message center. However, the message center switch may served multiple served user switches, via DCS as well as QSIG.

What you get with QSIG Centralized AUDIX

•Calls to users on a remote PBX cover or forward correctly and are answered by

AUDIX.

~With a personalized greeting

~With appropriate busy or not available greeting, depending upon the reason the call was redirected

~Caller can leave a message for the called party

•Once a subscriber logs into AUDIX (by dialing the AUDIX number and entering the extension and password), the subscriber can perform the following activities:

~Listen to or delete messages (voice, fax, or text)

~Leave a message for other subscribers on the same AUDIX without calling them

~Forward a message to another subscriber on the same AUDIX

~Access the AUDIX directory to address a message (*A)

~Access the AUDIX directory to find a subscriber’s extension (**N)

~Record or change your greeting

~Transfer out of AUDIX (*T or 0)

•Message Waiting Indication (typically a lamp, but may be a stutter dial tone or display) indicates the presence of new messages. I

If another vendor’s switch, acting as a served user switch, does not provide this functionality, the call will not cover properly to a DEFINITY ECS message center switch complex.

•When a remote subscriber logs in to AUDIX from the subscriber’s phone, the subscriber does not need to enter his or her extension. Instead of entering the extension, *, the password, and *, the subscriber can enter *, the password, and then #.

What you do not get

•Leave Word Calling does not work between served user switches, though users on the same switch can use it.

•Transfer into AUDIX does not work from a served user switch.
