speakerphone. The announcement appears on each telephone as a normal call.
Recipients can pick up the handset to listen, but cannot respond. The announce-
ment does not go to telephones that are being used. If all phones are being
used, you (the sender) hear a busy signal.
Integrated Announcements
DEFINITY ECS allows you to store recorded announcements (messages) inter-
nally within the switch. The announcements are digitized and stored in
state-of-the-art electronic memory devices. DEFINITY’s integrated announce-
ments are:
■ Easy to use. Announcements can be recorded and updated from any
telephone. And all announcement configuration is performed from the
Management Terminal.
■ Reliable. Even a power failure will not affect the integrity of your
announcements. Because the announcements are stored digitally, voice
quality does not degrade over time. There are no external boxes, messy
cabling, or separate power supplies. And there are no tapes to jam or
break.
■ Flexible. Since the announcements are integrated within DEFINITY, the
applications are almost endless. Announcements can be played to callers
waiting for connection. They can be inserted into coverage paths to give
out your hours of business. DEFINITY applications like vectoring were
designed to take advantage of the power of integrated announcements.
■ Ideal for a global market. Since you record your own announcements, any
language can be provided — even multiple languages on the same
switch. For example, your hotel guests can receive wakeup greetings in
their native language.
■ Easily expandable. In larger DEFINITY configurations, if you need more
announcement recording time, you can simply plug in another DEFINITY
Announcement circuit pack.
Integrated Directory
Either through voice messaging or a display telephone, the system allows you to
access the switch directory and retrieve an extension number. The directory con-
tains an alphanumeric listing of all names and extension numbers connected to
the system. The directory can be set up using several languages. (Contact your
local distributor for a complete list of languages.)
Last Number Dialed
Allows you to redial your last call, whether it is an internal or an external call. You
can press a single button to redial a number of up to 20 digits.
