If your system has a voice-synthesizer circuit pack and LWC Activation is 
active, users can retrieve messages from two locations:
— Users can retrieve LWC messages with Voice Message Retrieval.
— Users can retrieve all other messages with AUDIX.
If you do not have a TN725B speech-synthesizer board, non-display phone 
users cannot retrieve LWC messages sent via the LWC button on a phone.
nBridged Call Appearance
Voice Message Retrieval on a Bridged Call Appearance functions the same 
as if it were activated by the primary extension associated with the bridged 
call appearance.
nLeave Word Calling
Voice Message Retrieval enhances LWC by allowing any authorized 
touch-tone phone user to retrieve messages.

Voice Messaging Systems
DEFINITY ECS supports several Lucent voice or multimedia messaging systems. 
These systems allow users to send, retrieve, store, and forward messages, as well 
as perform many other tasks associated with messages. In addition to supporting 
multiple AUDIX systems, DEFINITY can have multiple hunt groups associated 
with a single AUDIX system. This allows partitioning of the voice ports into 
different hunt groups and different coverage paths to cover different voice ports. 
Thus voice ports can be reserved for particular users or groups of users (for 
example, those that use unique coverage paths). 
The following features do not use coverage paths:
nTransfer into AUDIX with the feature access code or the GOTO COVER 
button
nLast Call
If a local AUDIX and a remote AUDIX use the same hunt-group numbers, calls 
route to the local hunt group.
DEFINITY ECS supports the following systems:
I
NTUITY 
AUDIXINTUITY AUDIX runs on a separate MAP/5, MAP/40, or 
MAP/100 PC. The switch communicates with I
NTUITY AUDIX 
via analog voice ports and a data link. The switch can also 
communicate with I
NTUITY AUDIX without the data link. In 
this case, the switch and I
NTUITY AUDIX communicate by 
sending and receiving special strings of touch-tone codes (dual 
tone multifrequency tones) via analog voice ports. These 
touch-tone codes are called mode codes and carry data such as 
calling party ID, called party ID, and type of call. 
I
NTUITY AUDIX allows up to 64 ports. This means up to 64 
people can be simultaneously retrieving or leaving messages. 
I
NTUITY AUDIX also supports fax and e-mail messaging.

Messaging Solutions Integration with System 75, Generic 1 
and 3, and R5/6.

Other non-Lucent messaging systems may also use mode codes to work with 
DEFINITY ECS. 
Centralized Voice Mail
You can use a single voice mail system to support multiple DEFINITY systems in 
a DCS network. In addition, you can use a voice mail system to support multiple 
DEFINITY systems and Merlin Legend in a network via mode code. For more 
information, see Appendix B in DEFINITY ECS R8.2 Administration for Network 
Connectivity. DEFINITY 
AUDIX(Not available with Guestworks) DEFINITY AUDIX runs on a 
multifunction circuit pack assembly. This assembly fits into 2 
contiguous slots in the DEFINITY switch. DEFINITY AUDIX 
communicates with the switch via analog voice ports with a 
data link. DEFINITY AUDIX can also communicate 
exclusively via analog voice ports when set up to emulate a 
digital phone set.
DEFINITY AUDIX allows up to 16 ports.
For more information, refer to DEFINITY AUDIX System 
Feature Descriptions, DEFINITY AUDIX System 
Administration, Switch Administration for DEFINITY AUDIX 
System, or DEFINITY AUDIX System Forms Reference.
Octel 
SerenadeOctel Serenade is a voice messaging system that supports 
DEFINITY systems via QSIG signaling protocols.
Octel 100 Octel 100 runs on personal computer running the OS2 
operating system.

Security Measures
!SECURITY ALERT:
Fraudulent long-distance calls can be placed through I
NTUITY 
AUDIX, DEFINITY AUDIX, and AUDIX R1 if proper security 
precautions are not implemented.
The following actions help secure your system from unauthorized use.
nFor INTUITY AUDIX, DEFINITY AUDIX, and AUDIX R1
— Remove any unused or unassigned mail to help prevent exchange of 
information through unassigned Voice Mail.
— Secure system lines that serve AUDIX and control where calls can 
be placed. 
— Assign a restrictive Class of Restriction (COR), Class of Service 
(COS), and Facilities Restriction Level (FRL) to the station lines 
and trunks serving AUDIX. 
— Use switch Call Detail Recording (CDR) reports to determine if the 
lines are being used for calls that are normally not within your 
sphere of business.
— Change default passwords on voice mailboxes immediately after 
installation and use random numbers for passwords.
— Require passwords with at least 5 digits.
— Change system administration passwords to alphanumeric codes.
—I
NTUITY AUDIX, AUDIX R1, and DEFINITY AUDIX provide a 
maintenance/administration port. A remote port security device 
provides an added layer of security to prevent unauthorized access 
to this port.
nFor INTUITY AUDIX and DEFINITY AUDIX
— Determine whether to only allow transfers to other AUDIX 
subscribers or to any extension of the correct length. The most 
secure approach is to only allow transfers to other AUDIX 
subscribers. If you decide to allow transfers to any extension, 
administer the COR on the AUDIX ports to prevent calls outside the 
PBX or immediate Distributed Communications System (DCS) site 
network.

nFor AUDIX only
— Activate Enhanced Call Transfer (ECT) to help prevent having 
billable calls placed from unauthorized transfers outside of the 
system. ECT performs call transfer over the data link between 
AUDIX and the DEFINITY ECS. (The destination extensions must 
be administered on the switch dial plan.)
Interactions
nAttendant Conference
An attendant who has split a call can conference the call with AUDIX by 
dialing the Transfer Into AUDIX access code. The attendant presses 
Release to drop out of the conference call.
nAutomatic Call Distribution (external AUDIX only)
You can administer a hunt group as an AUDIX ACD split. You can then 
obtain AUDIX traffic measurements with the ACD Call Management 
System. Login occurs when AUDIX signals the switch to make a voice 
port available for AUDIX service. Logout occurs when AUDIX signals the 
switch to disable the port.
AUDIX and ACD CMS must be connected to the same switch. If AUDIX 
in the DCS feature is active, a CMS located on a switch other than the host 
switch (AUDIX location) does not provide measurements for the AUDIX 
ports.
Because AUDIX frequently takes voice ports in and out of service for 
maintenance testing, high login activity may be seen for the AUDIX split 
in the measurement reports.
On CMS reports that display an agent’s login ID, AUDIX voice ports 
always show a login ID that is the same as the extension, even if you have 
not administered login IDs on the switch.
nCall Coverage
When a coverage call successfully completes to AUDIX or routes from a 
remote switch to the host switch because of coverage, the principal is 
dropped from the call (no temporary bridge appearance is maintained).
Coverage calls from a remote switch that fail to reach AUDIX as a 
coverage point cannot be returned to the original coverage path on the 
remote switch.
nCall Forwarding
An AUDIX user can forward calls to a remote AUDIX hunt group or to the 
host AUDIX hunt group. You must correctly administer the AUDIX 
destination for the remote AUDIX hunt group.

nCall Monitoring
Call Monitoring allows users to pick up the handset after the call goes to 
AUDIX to listen to the message being left by the caller. This allows the 
user to determine whether they want to talk to the caller or let them 
complete their message.
nCall Transfer
A call transfer out of AUDIX can be to a UDP extension. If the UDP 
extension is on a remote switch, the call is treated as a direct call. 
Additional trunks are used for calls transferred between DCS nodes.
Calls may be transferred into AUDIX by users handling redirected calls for 
principals who are AUDIX subscribers.
nClass of Restriction
A high FRL assigned in the COR allows callers to transfer to long-distance 
numbers.
To prevent toll fraud, assign a low FRL to the AUDIX system ports.
nDCS — Leave Word Calling (external only)
In a DCS network, the called party may be on a different switch than the 
calling party. If the DCS link is down, attempts to store Leave Word Cancel 
messages are denied and intercept tone is returned. LWC requests are 
always denied for principals with AUDIX LWC; in some instances, the 
request to cancel LWC may appear to be active when it actually is not.
When the local switch communicates with I
NTUITY AUDIX via mode 
codes, I
NTUITY AUDIX cannot support remote DCS switches.
nFacility Test Call
Unauthorized calls can be placed using the facility test-call access code.
To prevent toll fraud, remove the facility test call access code.
nLeave Word Calling
You can have a principal’s LWC messages kept by AUDIX. The principal 
can retrieve a message by calling AUDIX. The principal cannot retrieve the 
message using other retrieval methods, but is notified of its existence by 
AUDIX.
For other messaging services, you can have AUDIX report the existence of 
waiting LWC messages for the principal, but not the message content. The 
principal can retrieve the message using other retrieval methods, but is still 
notified of the existence of AUDIX messages.
If the data link between the system and AUDIX is down, attempts to 
activate LWC for an AUDIX-covered principal are denied and reorder tone 
is returned.

If a caller attempts to cancel a LWC message sent to AUDIX, the caller 
receives intercept tone if the called party is on the same switch. The caller 
receives confirmation tone if the called party is on another switch in the 
DCS network as long as the DCS data link to the called party’s switch is 
operational, even though the message is not actually canceled.
When the local switch communicates with I
NTUITY AUDIX via mode 
codes, I
NTUITY AUDIX does not accept or store LWC messages in user 
mailboxes.
nRingback Queueing
Ringback Queueing does not apply to AUDIX calls. On direct calls to a 
remote AUDIX, if all trunks to the host AUDIX are busy, busy tone is 
returned. On coverage calls, if all trunks are busy, AUDIX is treated as a 
busy coverage point. If there are coverage points after AUDIX, then the 
call terminates at those points.
nSingle-Digit Dialing and Mixed-Station Numbering
AUDIX is designed for use with a Uniform Dial Plan. It supports only one 
extension length (3-, 4-, or 5-digit) that is used by AUDIX subscribers. 
Single-Digit and Mixed Station Numbering cannot be used. However, 
nothing prohibits connecting a switch to AUDIX that provides these 
features, as long as all AUDIX subscribers have the same extension length.
nTemporary Bridged Appearance
Stations that normally have a temporary bridged appearance with their 
coverage point do not have that appearance if the coverage point is 
AUDIX.

1595 Whisper paging 
20
Whisper paging
Whisper paging allows one user to interrupt or “barge in” on another user’s call 
and make an announcement. The paging user dials a feature access code or 
presses a feature button, then dials the extension they want to call.
Only the person on the paged extension can hear the page: other parties on the call 
cannot hear it, and the person making the page cannot hear anyone on the call. If 
the paged user has a display phone, he or she can see who is making the whisper 
page.
For example, let’s say users A and B are on a call. C has an urgent message for A 
and makes a whisper page. All 3 users hear the tone that signals the page, but only 
A hears the page itself. The person making the page, C, cannot hear A or B.
Brief description
Allowing users to make whisper pages
To make a whisper page users dial a feature access code or press a feature button, 
then dial the extension of the user they are trying to reach.
nTo assign a feature access code, enter a code in the Whisper Page 
Activation Access Code field on the Feature Access Code screen.
nTo give users a feature button for making a whisper page, use the Station 
screen and administer a Whisper Page Activation button on users’ phones. 
Allowing users to answer whisper pages 
quickly
To give users a feature button for answering a whisper page, use the Station screen 
and administer an Answerback button on users’ phones. 
NOTE:
You cannot administer an Answerback button on an attendant console. 
Attendants can make whisper pages but cannot receive them.
Normally, before a paged user can answer a whisper page he or she must complete 
the active call or put it on hold. However, you can give users the ability to put an 
active call on hold and speak directly to the person making a whisper page simply 
by pushing a feature button. Once the Answerback button is pressed, the user can 
treat both the paging call and the original call as separate calls and all call-related 
features (conference, transfer, etc.) operate normally.

1596 Whisper paging 
20
Allowing users to block whisper pages
To give users a feature button to block incoming whisper pages, use the Station 
screen and administer a Whisper Page Off button on users’ phones.
Administer this function on a feature button with a lamp so that users can tell 
whether or not blocking is active. Users can activate blocking even when they’re 
on a call.
NOTE:
You cannot administer a Whisper Page Off button on a soft key.
Two features, Do Not Disturb and Privacy — Attendant Lockout, also block 
incoming whisper pages.
Call redirection overrides
If a paged user is not on an active call, a whisper page is converted to a priority 
call that overrides any of the following call redirection features:
nCall Forward All Calls
nCall Forward Busy
nCall Forward Don’t Answer
nSend All Calls
nGo To Cover
nCall Coverage
For example, let’s say Call Forwarding — All Calls is activated on a phone. If 
there are no active calls, a whisper page to that phone will ring at that phone as a 
priority call. For information on blocking incoming whisper pages, refer to 
‘‘
Allowing users to block whisper pages’’.
Group answering environments
Whisper paging does not work with extensions assigned to a group answering 
environment. You cannot place a whisper page to the main extension assigned to a 
hunt group, split, skill, or terminating extension group. You cannot place a 
whisper page to any extension that is a member of one of these groups.
Network restrictions
Whisper paging does not work across networks (such as Distributed 
Communication System networks or Electronic Tandem Networks): both the 
paging user and paged user must be on the same switch.
