Switch Integration Concepts
Switch integration
refers to the sharing of information between a voice
messaging system and a switch in order to provide a seamless interface to
callers and subscribers. A fully integrated voice messaging system uses
information taken directly from the switch to determine how to process each
incoming phone call. (Refer to Figure 1-2.) Integrating the Intuity system and a
MERLIN LEGEND switch does not require special equipment — the MERLIN
LEGEND system sends call information by touch-tones over the same voice
circuits used for call processing.
