Multimedia Applications Server
Interface
The Multimedia Applications Server Interface provides a link between the DEFINITY ECS
and one or more Multimedia Communications eXchange nodes. A Multimedia
Communications eXchange is a stand-alone multimedia call processor produced by
Lucent Technologies. This new link to DEFINITY ECS enhances the capabilities of each
Multimedia Communications eXchange system by enabling it to share some of the
DEFINITY ECS features. In particular, the interface provides the following advantages:
■ Call Detail Recording (CDR)— The capture of call detail records so you can
analyze the call patterns and usage of multimedia calls just as DEFINITY
administrators analyze normal calls.
■ Automatic Alternate Routing/Automatic Route Selection (AAR/ARS) — The
intelligent selection of the most cost-effective routing for calls, based on available
resources and your carrier preference. The system may select public trunks via
DEFINITY Multimedia eXchange (MMCX)
■ Voice Mail Integration — You can access your DEFINITY or INTUITY AUDIX voice
messaging system from a Multimedia Communication eXchange (MMCX).
Local Area Network Connectivity
(LAN)
The DEFINITY LAN Gateway feature lets the DEFINITY system exchange messages
with PC/LAN-based communications software. The Control LAN (C-LAN) interface
simplifies connections between adjunct equipment and DEFINITY. It provides TCP/IP
connectivity over Ethernet or Point-to-Point Protocol connections to applications such as
CMS Call Center, INTUITY AUDIX, and DCS.
IP Solutions
The capabilities and applications of DEFINITY ECS are extended with the introduction of
IP Solutions. IP Solutions supports audio/voice over a LAN or WAN, and it ensures that
remote workers have access to communication system features from their PCs.
