I have 2 MICS set up with PRI and MCDN keycodes and it works fine. The problem is when I call the remote site and the phone rings 4 times it will go to Voice Mail but it asks you for your password. Just like you were calling the voice mail to check your messages. I have done all of the programming in the Addendum for Voice Mail as a Centralized Voice Mail System. But when I do a test call it will still will go back like you are calling VC Mail. Is there someone out there who has done this before that might point me in the right direction. Any help is very appeicated. KDB

Networking MICS's & Central V Mail 3

Both of the KSUs are running MICS 6.0 Software. I do not think there is a keycode for the Centeralized V Mail, It was never mentioned in the addendum. These are the requirements off the addendum
All of the Norstar systems must be using MICS 6.0 or higher
Norstar Voice Mail must have 4.1 or higher
Norstar Voice Mail must be using Access 6.0 or Higher **
All Norstar systems must be connected in a Private networkthat has been Created Using SL-1 (MCDN)
** How would I check This?

Last time I did it the result was the same, when say for instance you press the msg button to get your messages, if you are on the same system as the Vmail you get the password prompt in the display. If you were on the remote system you would get the Log prompt and Norstar Nora asking you for your mailbox number and password.
We have 6.1 in both sides, MCDN on both sides, PRI/ SL1 programmed both sides.

mroberts, so you have the same problem? the only way that i can get to a remote mailbox is to do a feature 980, they can get by with this, but the customer is very insistent that this should be seamless like Nortel said it would. Customer can be sooooo demanding!!!!! KDB.
If it would be helpful, you could check your programming against the Centralized Vmail programming cheat sheet I made up.

Dtone,
Look in either the class of service or system properties for a prompt that says "revert dn" yes or no. I think you have to set it to yes. It was yes by default for a long time until MICS NA 5.0 came out and it caused a problem with calls not forwarding to the mailbox greeting after the specified number of rings. You have to go through Norstar MGR or the latest NAM's had an access code for it. Thank God for Call Pilot!!! Good Luck

Yes, I am the Queen o' cheat sheets. ![[amidala]](/data/assets/smilies/amidala.gif "[amidala] [amidala]")
I swear by 'em! Much easier than trying to read the whole bloody manual and pick out just what you need to accomplish something.

I'm a little new to this -- basically you are setting up voicemail to go out the PRI to the far-end MICS and dial it with a special DID (the station ID that the message should go to)? How do the two systems communicate things like message waiting so that a phone on the near end sees "Message For You" when a message is stored on the far-end voicemail?
Am I just horribly confused?

The MCDN keycode enables the SL! protocol on the PRI cards.
MCDN is an acronym for Meridian Custom Defined Networking.
It is a proprietary Nortel protocol used for TIE trunking and advanced networking over point to point PRI circuits.
MCDN provides the signalling and messaging required to light MWI etc...

Yep, in conjunction with that you are using the Vmsg Cntr programming to tell the other side that I'm using an external vmail.
In the same manner that you can use this setting to get the 'msg for you' in your display when using (for instance) Telco's vmail service, you set this to describe where the external vmail is. In this case, it is technically, the 'other side'.
