The Avaya Communications DEFINITY ECS G3csi, G3si, and G3r, and DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions G3csi are digital telecommunication systems. The csi, si, and r suffixes refer to the Compact Modular Cabinet, Single Carrier Cabinet, and Multiple Carrier Cabinet designs, respectively. The principle differences between these designs are of capacity and scale, and not necessarily functionality. In this book, these systems are referred to collectively as the DEFINITY G3. The features and requests described in this book may or may not work if your specific equipment does not have all of the required hardware and software. Please contact your Avaya representative to understand what your equipment can support.
The DEFINITY G3 can be connected to the following:
CallPath Services is IBM's architecture for computer-telephone system communications. It defines an Application Programming Interface (API) that enables host applications to communicate with telephone systems (in this book, the DEFINITY G3). The CallPath Services API enables new or existing host applications to provide advanced switching functions through the integration of voice and data processing capabilities.
SwitchServer/2 Connections: SwitchServer/2 connects the DEFINITY G3 to one or more CallPath Services host computers. It performs protocol conversion between CallPath Services requests and messages and DEFINITY G3 protocols. SwitchServer/2 isolates the CallPath Services host computer from the specific communications formats and protocols that are required to interface with the DEFINITY G3, while allowing the DEFINITY G3 to interface concurrently with multiple CallPath Services host computers.
CallPath Server for OS/2 Connections: CallPath Server for OS/2 can connect directly to the DEFINITY G3 or through the services of SwitchServer/2. When connected directly to the DEFINITY G3, the Server performs protocol conversion between CallPath Services requests and messages and DEFINITY G3 protocols in a client/server environment. Application programs running on the network are isolated from the specific communication formats and protocols that are required to interface with the DEFINITY G3, while allowing the DEFINITY G3 to interface concurrently with multiple application programs running on a variety of client workstations.
CallPath Server for AIX Connections: CallPath Server for AIX can connect directly to the DEFINITY G3 or through the services of SwitchServer/2. When connected directly to the DEFINITY G3, the server performs protocol conversion between CallPath Services requests and messages and DEFINITY G3 protocols in a client/server environment. Application programs running on the network are isolated from the specific communication formats and protocols that are required to interface with the DEFINITY G3, while allowing the DEFINITY G3 to interface concurrently with multiple application programs running on a variety of client workstations.
CallPath Server for Windows NT/Windows 2000 Connections: CallPath Server for Windows NT/Windows 2000 can connect directly to the DEFINITY G3 or through the services of SwitchServer/2. When connected directly to the DEFINITY G3, the server performs protocol conversion between CallPath Services requests and messages and DEFINITY G3 protocols in a client/server environment. Application programs running on the network are isolated from the specific communication formats and protocols that are required to interface with the DEFINITY G3, while allowing the DEFINITY G3 to interface concurrently with multiple application programs running on a variety of client workstations.
