"Multi-site Networking" limitations?

[DJTelco]

The text below, from Avaya's site, does not give any indication as to how many sites can be included in the described "Multi-site Networking"

Is there a limit, such as "no more than 5 Magix systems sharing one voicemail platform" for example?

Thanks

If your business has a number of locations or employees working in geographically dispersed areas, multi-site networking can save you money. A MERLIN MAGIX private network can help maximize your facilities by sharing voice, high-speed data/video, and a single voice messaging system across multiple locations. Features include:
Uniform dial plan routing, which lets you place calls anywhere on the network as if everyone worked at the same location
Dynamically allocate network resources for inbound and outbound voice and data traffic, giving you a flexible, cost-effective way of handling peak demands
Allowing you to connect your local area networks (LANs) across multiple sites to shared equipment, software, Internet access, and administration



Your network can consist of one or more MERLIN MAGIX Integrated Systems, plus MERLIN LEGEND® Communications System, DEFINITY® Business Communications Server (BCS), DEFINITY ProLogix®, and DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server (ECS).

Considering you can only have 3 ds1 cards in the Magix with the Vm, and the Centralized VM can be no more than 1 hop away, then the answer would be 4 Magix systems can share the same VM......Unless you have the intuity and network 2 intuity's together with an ISDN circuit making it seem as 1 VM where it is actually two, then your answer would be 8 Magix systems.

Considering that the 3-DS1 cards take up 72 CO ports, you can only have 8 other trunks on that central switch. You would need to consider incoming/outgoing traffic as well, maybe needing to have calls routed through one of the other switches to the centralized switch.
