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.
