Assumptions
The following assumptions apply to the guidelines provided in this section:
•
•
•
Site configuration
You must allow users on the Meridian Mail and CallPilot systems to address
messages to each other. Therefore, you must define each system as a
remote site in the other system network database so that:
•
•
Define both systems as remote sites in the network database at each site in
the messaging network, only if the following conditions apply:
•
•
Both systems must have unique site IDs. Configure the networking protocol,
dialing plans, and users as described in this section.
Networking protocols
You can use either Enterprise networking or VPIM networking between the
Meridian Mail and CallPilot systems. If VPIM networking is used, then the
Meridian Mail Net Gateway (MMNG) must be connected to the Meridian
Mail system and act as the front end to the Meridian Mail system.
Nortel recommends that you use Enterprise networking between the two
systems. Enterprise networking is the easiest protocol to set up and
provides more ports to handle networking traffic than the MMNG.

CallPilot is added to a Meridian 1 switch that is already connected to
Meridian Mail.
The mailboxes are migrated from Meridian Mail to CallPilot in stages.
Initially, only a small percentage of users are on CallPilot.
Note: Users at remote sites are addressing messages to both
systems.
Because most users initially remain on Meridian Mail, Meridian Mail
retains the private numbering plan for addressing messages.
the Meridian Mail system is a remote site in the CallPilot network
database.
the CallPilot system is a remote site in the Meridian Mail network
database.
The migration of users from Meridian Mail to CallPilot is completed over
an extended period of time.
Users at remote sites must address messages to users on each system
during the migration period.
