Evolution from circuit-switched to IP
Overview
The Avaya DEFINITY® Enterprise Communications Server G3r has been the flagship product 
in the DEFINITY family of communications servers. As technology changed, Avaya was able to 
leverage the rapid advances in microprocessor technology to increase the capacity and 
processing power of the traditional DEFINITY platform (
) to benefit our customers.

Avaya also has the objective to protect our customers’ communications investment in the Avaya 
DEFINITY platform by helping our customers leverage their existing investments in Avaya 
solutions. Upgrading allows a customer to make a smooth transition to IP Telephony technology 
without sacrificing the features or reliability of their current DEFINITY. A customer can make 
small incremental investments to move from the circuit-switched world to a full IP PBX while 
retaining their investment in TDM-based equipment and connections. On the endpoints, moving 
to IP Telephony allows simplified moves, adds, and changes. It also simplifies the building 
wiring plan by sharing one Ethernet connection with both the IP Telephone and the desktop PC. 
It also adds IP mobility while retaining the rich set of DEFINITY features. For both IP Telephone 
and traditional circuit-switched telephone users, migrating to IP Telephony offers the opportunity 
to bypass tolls, and route traditionally metered long-distance calls across an unmetered IP 
network instead, saving operational costs.
