International Capabilities

DEFINITY ECS provides features that allow for differences in telecommunication

standards around the world, allowing you to use the same communications system at

your various locations in other countries. If you are reading this book, it is likely that the

system has been type approved in your country. Check with your local distributor for more

information.

Public Network Call Priority

Provides call retention, forced disconnect, intrusion, mode-of-release control, and re-ring

to switches on public networks. Different countries frequently refer to these capabilities by

different names.

World Class Tone Detection

Enables the DEFINITY ECS to identify and handle different types of call progress tones,

depending on the system administration. You can use the tone detector and identification

to display on Data Terminal Dialing and to decide when to send digits on trunk calls

through Abbreviated Dialing, ARS, AAR, and Data Terminal Dialing.

World Class Tone Generation

Allows you to define call-progress tones. You can select values for frequency and

cadence. If you do not define a call-progress tone, DEFINITY ECS sends a default sound

for that call-progress tone that is based on your administered country code. For a very

few tones, that default may be silence, but for most commonly used tones, that default will

make a sound.

Administrable Loss Plan

Provides you with the capability to administer the loss or gain applied on calls. This

capability is necessary because some country regulations change about how much loss

is allowed on voice calls.
