Provisioning the host for voice-mail servers

You can provision a host for voice-mail servers. This provisioning helps during
upgrade in case an existing voice-mail server has a Universal Resource Identifier
(URI) provisioned, which translates to a voice-mail server instead of the actual
server information. Consequently, you can use the existing URI or provision a
node to add a voice-mail server host.

Description
An IP-based voice-mail server that uses the SIP
protocol. This server type does not need a PSTN
gateway.
A legacy PSTN-based voice-mail server that uses a
Primary Rate Interface (PRI) or Channel Associated
Signaling (CAS) gateway. The Session Manager uses
SMDI to send call setup information using a Call Detail
Message to get Message Waiting Indication (MWI)
information from the voice-mail server.
A voice-mail server with multiple lines, each identified by
a 10-digit phone number that goes into the voice-mail
server. When people leave messages, the individual
lines are used in a round robin manner to connect to the
voice-mail server. The Session Manager sends an SMDI
message to the voice-mail server to help establish the
connection to the Session Manager that uses SMDI to
obtain Message Waiting Indication (MWI) information
from the voice-mail server.
