Configuring the system for centralized voice mail
MCDN is supported over a PRI (SL-1) line or VoIP trunks between your Business
Communications Manager and other systems, such as a Meridian 1, Norstar, or other Business
Communications Managers. This section describes the specific programming for remote voice
mail over PRI lines.
Apart from line configuration, MCDN over VoIP has the same system configuration.
To set up a PRI connection on the Business Communications Manager, you need to:
1 Ensure that the remote voice mail system is set up to accommodate your system on the
network.
2 Ensure that your dialing plan coordinates with what the other nodes on the network are using.
Services, Telephony services, General settings, Dialing plans, Private network, UDP or
CDP.
3
Enter the network system identifier the Meridian system administrator supplied (between 1
and 27), if you are networked with a Meridian 1 somewhere in the network.
