pages are blanked when the form is submitted.
nIf a signaling groups Supplementary Service Protocol: is set to b, the 
ISDN TSC Gateway form is checked. 
nIf the Gateway form uses an existing NCA TSC that would be removed by 
setting Supplementary Service Protocol: to b, the signaling group 
change is blocked
Route Pattern Form 
nExisting TSC field is consulted to find a preference that can route a 
tandemed CISC (the field must be set to y). 
Trunk Group Form
nNCA-TSC Signaling Group: field points to the Signaling Group over which 
a tandem NCA TSC is routed on. 
— BRI Trunks are not administered with Signaling Groups, this field is 
changed to accommodate both PRI and BRI CISC routing. 
— There must be at least one member in the Trunk Group in order to 
use it to route tandem NCA TSC.
nThe Trunk Group Form field NCA-TSC Signaling Group is changed to 
NCA-TSC Trunk Member so that the signaling interface associated with 
the administered Trunk Member is used to route a tandem NCA TSC. 
— DEFINITY verifies that this field is administered to a valid trunk 
group member.Signaling Group form (page 1

nThe encoding allows QSIG-VALU features to work between DEFINITY® 
systems in a QSIG network, even if the connection between the 
DEFINITY
® systems includes non-DEFINITY® systems. 
nQSIG-VALU Call Coverage feature extends the Call Coverage feature 
transparency when a coverage point is located on a remote DEFINITY® 
system connected via a QSIG network. 
— The Principal and coverage point users, located on 
DEFINITY
®systems, see similar operational and display behavior for 
this feature as DCS Call Coverage.
nThe signaling for this feature is built on top of the existing QSIG Call 
Diversion/Forwarding supplementary service.
nQSIG-VALU Distinctive Ringing feature extends the Distinctive Ringing 
feature transparency when a call is routed to a remote DEFINITY® system 
connected via a QSIG network. 
nQSIG-VALU features require the administration of two fields:
— QSIG-VALU on Customer Options form. 
— Trunk Group form.
Configuration/Environment
nTo enable QSIG-VALU, the following customer options must also be 
enabled:
— Offer Category “A”
— ISDN-PRI or ISDN-BRI Trunks or Asynch. Transfer Mode (ATM) 
Trunking
— QSIG Basic Supplementary Services
— Software Version must be R8 or later.
Feature Description
Distinctive Ringing
nIn DEFINITY® ECS R8 calls that are routed over QSIG network have the 
capability to provide distinctive ringing. 
nIt provides two kinds of ringing pattern to the terminal based on the 
administration and origination of the call before routed over the network.
— Internal
—External
nWhen there are gateway switches between the originating and terminating 
PBXs, functionality depends on the trunks connecting the PBXs.

Distinctive Ringing Administration 
1. Option Value-Added Lucent (VALU) is Enabled on System-parameters 
customer-options form
2. The field QSIG Value-Added Lucent is selected as y and Supplementary 
Service Protocol Option shall be selected as B on a Trunk Group form to 
send QSIG-VALU Call Coverage MSI information to a remote switch in 
association with a call routing on that trunk group.
NOTE:
The administration to govern the ringing pattern at the called users terminal 
is the same as the Distinctive Ringing feature.
QSIG-VALU Call Coverage
nQSIG-VALU Call Coverage enhances the operations for the users, similar 
to DCS Call Coverage, in the following ways:
— Principals coverage path and criteria are used to re-direct the call to 
QSIG-VALU coverage points.
— If the QSIG-VALU coverage point is not available, and the call can 
be redirected to the subsequent coverage point based on the 
Principals coverage path, the call to the coverage point is 
disconnected and the subsequent coverage point is alerted.
— Coverage Point is alerted with distinctive ringing.
nFeature interactions for QSIG-VALU Coverage are in most cases the same 
as DCS Call Coverage. 
nThe DCS Call Coverage feature refers to Call Coverage feature for 
interactions. 
nThis encoding allows QSIG-VALU features to work between DEFINITY® 
systems in a QSIG network, even if the intervening connection includes 
non-DEFINITY
® systems, as long as the intervening connection supports 
QSIG protocol (See the following diagram.).
nThe signaling for this feature is built on top of the existing QSIG Call 
Diversion/ Forwarding supplementary service.

QSIG-VALU Call Coverage
nDisplay equipped Coverage point sees the display as:
OR
(When Calling Par ty’s Name and Number not available)
nPrincipal user is able to bridge on to the call while the call is routed to 
QSIG-VALU coverage points and after the call is answered by the coverage 
point.
nIf QSIG-VALU is enabled, CCRON is enabled and the call is routed over 
QSIG-VALU trunk, the QSIG-VALU Coverage has a higher precedence 
than CCRON.
nAfter the QSIG-VALU coverage call is redirected to the coverage point, the 
Principal users switch attempts to redirect the call to the subsequent 
coverage point. 
— If the subsequent coverage point is unavailable, the call stays at the 
previous coverage point. 
— If the QSIG-VALU coverage call fails to find any available coverage 
point, the call stays at the Principal user.

QSIG Integration: Transfer to Audix
 This feature provides the user with the capability to transfer directly into the voice 
mail box of a subscriber on the voice mail system when DEFINITY and the voice 
mail are connected via a QSIG link.    QSIG Transfer Into QSIG Voice Mail is not a 
feature defined by QSIG standards, so MSI is needed to accomplish the desired 
functionality.  
QSIG Transfer Into QSIG Voice Mail uses the existing QSIG Call Transfer along 
with an MSI message specific to Transfer Into Voice Mail to provide the ability to 
transfer directly into a subscriber’s mailbox.  
QSIG Transfer Into QSIG Voice Mail is activated in the same manner as the 
current Transfer Into AUDIX.  Transfer Into AUDIX uses the Transfer feature.  
Instead of dialing an extension to transfer to, the transferring party dials the FAC 
for Transfer Into Voice Mail.  That is, for a multiline station, while on an existing 
call, the user presses the transfer button to put the call on hold, then dials the FAC 
for Transfer Into Voice Mail.  The user then may press the transfer button again to 
complete the transfer and connect the calling party with the voice mail system.   
Following existing transfer procedures, until the transferring party presses the 
transfer button a second time, the original call is on hold and the transferring party 
is connected with the voice mail system.   
NOTE:
For p re-R8 releases, the FAC is c alled  the Transfer To AUDIX Ac c ess Code.
For a singleline station (without a transfer button), either pressing the switchhook 
or the recall button provides the same functionality as pressing the transfer button.  
For an attendant console, pressing the start button provides the same functionality 
as pressing transfer the first time, and pressing the release button provides the 
same functionality as pressing transfer the second time. 
Alternatively, the user may assign an abbreviated dialing button to contain the 
Transfer Into Voice Mail FAC.  Then, instead of dialing the FAC, the user can press 
the abbreviated dialing button. 
The subscriber’s mailbox to which the call is transferred is dependent upon the 
call scenario, as described in the following paragraphs.
nIf the call to the user is either a direct call or the result of a transfer, and the 
called user activates Transfer Into Voice Mail, the calling party is 
transferred into the called par ty’s mailbox.  This is useful in the cases of fax 
calls.  Suppose a subscriber has a mailbox which is fax enabled and the 
subscriber is receiving a fax call.  If the subscriber answers the phone 
because they do not know it is a fax, they can transfer the call into their own 
mailbox which can record the fax.  
nIf the call is a result of forwarding or coverage and the terminating party 
activates Transfer Into Voice Mail, the calling party is transferred into the 
covered-from or forwarded-from party’s mailbox.  This feature is useful in

cases where a secretary is a coverage point for a boss.   Suppose the 
secretary answers a call which has covered from the boss.  If the calling 
party would like to leave a message for the boss, then the secretary can 
activate Transfer Into Voice Mail and the calling party will be transferred 
into the boss’s mailbox.   
Configuration/Environment
QSIG Transfer Into QSIG Voice Mail requires Definity R8 or higher software, and 
belongs to Offer Category B on the platforms G3r, G3si, and G3csi.
In order to enable QSIG Transfer Into QSIG Voice Mail, the following options must  
be enabled:
nISDN-PRI or ISDN-BRI
nQSIG Basic Supplementary Services
NOTE:
There is nothing to prevent turning on QSIG Transfer Into QSIG Voice Mail 
when the voice mail system is non-Lucent, but this is not recommended 
because a non-Lucent voice mail system should not be able to recognize 
our MSI operation. 
Administration
The QSIG Transfer Into QSIG Voice Mail requires the following administration of 
existing fields:
nThe system-parameters customer-option form must be administered with 
option “V8” or later for field “G3 version”.
nThe system-parameters customer-option form must be administered with 
option “y(es)” for field “ISDN PRI” , or it must be administered with option 
“y(es)” for field “ISDN-BRI trunks”.
nThe system-parameters customer-options form must be administered with 
option “y(es)” for field “Basic Supplementary Service?”  
nThe trunk group form must be administered with option “b” for field 
“Supplementary Service Protocol”.
nA Feature Access Code must be assigned in the “Transfer to Voice Mail 
Access Code” field of the Feature Access Code (FAC) form.   
NOTE:
In p re-R8 systems, this field  is c alled  “ Transfer to AUDIX Ac c ess 
Code” .

nA hunt group must be in the coverage path of the user ‘s mailbox to be 
transferred into, as administered on the station and coverage path forms.    
For this hunt group, the hunt group form must have “qsig-mwi” for field 
“Message Center:” and number of the voice mail system must be 
administered in field “Voice Mail Number”.
The QSIG Transfer Into QSIG Voice Mail procedures also require the following 
new administration, detailed below: 
nThe system-parameter customer-option form must be administered with 
option “y(es)” for field “Transfer Into Lucent QSIG Voice Mail?”
The new field can only be enabled if “Basic Supplementary Services?” is also set 
to “y(es)”, and either “ISDN PRI” or “ISDN-BRI trunks” is set to “y(es)”, and the G3 
version is set to “V8” or later. 
The current name of the access code for the existing Transfer Into AUDIX feature 
is “Transfer Into AUDIX  Access Code”.  Since the QSIG Transfer Into QSIG Voice 
Mail feature opens up transfer into Audix functionality for voice mail systems that 
are not Audix, the name of the field has been changed to “Transfer Into Voice Mail

QSIG CAS & VALU Coverage Interaction 
Support
QSIG-VALU is a general term that describes those DCS features that will be 
ported to work in a QSIG network consisting of DEFINITY ECS systems. The 
messaging needed to implement the DCS-like feature transparency will be sent 
using the Manufacturer Specific Information (MSI) encoding provided by the QSIG 
standards. This encoding should allow QSIG-VALU features to work between 
DEFINITY systems in a QSIG network, even if the intervening connection includes 
non-DEFINITY systems and as long as the intervening connection supports QSIG 
protocol.
The QSIG-VALU Call Coverage feature will extend the Call Coverage feature 
transparency when a coverage point is located on a remote DEFINITY system 
connected via a QSIG network. The calling party, principal and coverage point 
users, located on DEFINITY, will see the same operational and display behavior 
for this feature as DCS Call Coverage. The signaling for this feature will be built on 
top of the existing QSIG Call Diversion/Forwarding supplementary service. The 
following figures describes the basic scenario:
