DEFINITY ECS provides not only powerful voice and data capabilities, but con-
nections to a variety of voice and data networks as well. AT&T/Lucent Technolo-
gies has long been a leader in networking. DEFINITY ECS continues to build on
those established networking strengths to offer you network management fea-
tures, network interfaces, a variety of private network configurations, and
end-to-end ISDN capabilities. Lucent Technologies leadership in developing and
supporting open international networking standards is also apparent in DEFINITY
ECS’s compatibility with the QSIG global standards.

QSIG Global Networking
DEFINITY ECS was a pioneer in providing compatibility with the QSIG global net-
working protocol. This means you can connect the DEFINITY ECS with other
switches throughout the world. Lucent Technologies developed QSIG Global
Networking feature to comply with the QSIG standards developed by the Euro-
pean Computer Manufacturer’s Association and the International Standardization
Organization. It supports the ISDN-Primary Rate Interface connection from
switch to switch as long as both switches support the same protocol.
QSIG Global Networking has been continually refined with each DEFINITY ECS
release. The Lucent Technologies implementation of QSIG features the Name
Identification supplementary service and the Call Forwarding and Call Transfer
features.
