1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE
®
This 5ESS Switch Distinctive Remote Module (DRM) User's Guide is designed to
assist office personnel in understanding and maintaining the DRM. This guide
contains descriptive material as well as the procedures necessary to perform routine
and corrective maintenance, provisioning, and switch administration.

1.2 UPDATE INFORMATION

1.2.1 New in this Issue

This issue of the 5ESS Switch Distinctive Remote Module (DRM) Module User's Guide
has been updated to include new technical information.
1.2.2 Supported Software Releases
In accordance with the 5ESS Switch Software Support Plan, the 5E14 software
release was rated Discontinued Availability (DA) as of September 01, 2004. The
information supporting 5E14 and earlier software releases is being removed over time,
instead of concurrently, from all documentation.
If you are supporting offices that use a software release prior to 5E15 and you have a
need for the information that is being removed, retain the earlier copy of the
CD-ROM.

1.2.3 Terminology

1.2.3.1 Communication Module Name Change
The term Communication Module (CM) has been changed to the Global Messaging
Server (GMS), representing the new portfolio name of this particular module. The
current names of the specific types of the GMS (the CM2 and CM3) have not been
changed. Where the CM name has been used in a generic way within this information
product, the name will be changed to GMS. Where the specific version of GMS (CM2
or CM3) is being described or mentioned, the name will not be changed. However, the
GMS name may be added to the description in certain places as a reminder of the
change, and that the particular version is a part of the overall portfolio. The following
list provides some examples of how you may see these names used together:
•
Global Messaging Server (formerly Communication Module)
•
GMS (formerly CM) Global Messaging Server-CM2
•
GMS-CM2
•
Global Messaging Server-CM3
•
GMS-CM3.
These name changes will be made over time as other technical changes are required.
Also these changes may not be reflected in all software interfaces (input and output
messages, master control center screens, and recent change and verify screens). Where
the information product references these areas, the names are used as they are within
the software interface.
1.2.3.2 5ESS -2000 Switch Name Change
This 5ESS switch document may contain references to the 5ESS switch, the
5ESS-2000 switch, and the 5ESS AnyMedia
