Digital Networking
Using Digital Networking reduces the system’s maximum number of
voice ports from 12 to 8. Customers who need Digital Networking and
more than 8 voice ports should consider using an I
NTUITY messaging
system. For more information about the I NTUITY messaging system, see
I NTUITY Messaging Solutions.
AMIS Analog Networking
While Digital Networking uses the Digital Networking port to send
messages to remote subscribers, AMIS Analog Networking uses voice
ports to send messages with the Message Delivery feature. AMIS
Analog Networking does not reduce the total number of voice ports
available on the system, but it does place some traffic demands on the
voice ports.
The DOSS configurator uses the following estimates to calculate voice
port requirements for AMIS Analog Networking and Message Delivery:
■ The total number of administered remote subscribers.
■ The number of incoming and outgoing AMIS messages during
the busiest hour of the day.
■ The average length of incoming and outgoing AMIS messages.
■ The number of Message Delivery messages during the busiest
hour of the day.
■ The average length of Message Delivery messages. The DOSS
configurator assumes these messages have two standard
characteristics:
— 50% of the calls are unsuccessful and require a retry; these
calls are successful on the retry.
— An unsuccessful call requires 60 seconds.
Voice Storage
Rather than using Lucent Technologies’ formula for determining voice
storage requirements, customers may specify the amount of voice
storage they require. Customers who want to use multiple language
sets, however, should consider voice storage requirements for the
Multilingual feature in their calculations.
Voice Storage for Announcement Sets
One MO disk comes with the DEFINITY AUDIX system for each
multilingual announcement set customers purchase. The Multilingual
feature allows customers to use up to nine language sets at once.
The amount of available hard disk storage determines, in part, the
number of announcement sets the DEFINITY AUDIX system can hold.
