QSIG

DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server Release 8.2

Overview

555-233-002

Issue 1

April 2000

Manufacturer-Specific Information (MSI)

QSIG handles non-standardized information that is specific to a particular PBX or

network. This information is known as Manufacturer Specific Information (MSI). A

manufacturer can define manufacturer-specific supplementary services operations after it

has:

■ Applied to a sponsoring and issuing organization (ECMA or European Computer

Manufacturers Association in this case)

■ Been assigned an organization identifier. This organization identifier is used as the

root of the manufacturer-specific service-operation value.

All MSI operation values should be unique to that manufacturer.

Manufacturer-specific supplementary services can be created using specific operations

encoded with the manufacturer’s identifier. DEFINITY ECS supports non-QSIG

applications that transport information across QSIG networks in MSI. Applications now

have the same functionality over QSIG networks that they have over non-QSIG networks.

Applications that use MSI include Centralized Attendant Service, Transfer to Audix, Best

Service Routing, and QSIG VALU.

Path Replacement

With this feature, a call’s connections between switches in a private network can be

replaced with new connections while the call is active. This feature is invoked when a call

is transferred and improvements may be made in costs. For example, after a call is

transferred, the two parties on the transferred call can be connected directly and the

unnecessary trunks are dropped off the call. The routing administered at the endpoints

may allow for a more cost-effective connection.

Call Forwarding (Diversion)

QSIG Call Forwarding (Diversion) is based on the DEFINITY ECS Call Forwarding

feature. It extends the feature transparency aspects of Call Forwarding over a QSIG

trunk:

■ If QSIG Call Forwarding is activated, all calls are diverted immediately.

■ If QSIG Call Forwarding with Busy/Don’t Answer is activated and a station is busy,

a call is diverted immediately.
