The following list summarizes the pros and cons of the type D system:
Cisco Digital PBX Adapter (DPA)
The Cisco Digital PBX Adapter 7630 (DPA 7630) enables you to integrate
Cisco CallManager systems with Octel voice mail systems, which might also be
connected to a Lucent Definity PBX system. You might want to do this if you have
these existing third-party telephony systems in your network, and you want to
continue to use them along with your Cisco IP telephony system.
For example, you can ensure that features such as message waiting indicators
(MWI) for Octel voice messages are properly set on Cisco IP Phones (connected
to Cisco CallManager) and traditional telephony phones (connected to Lucent
PBX systems).
Using the DPA 7630, you can integrate the following systems:
• Cisco CallManager
• Octel 200 and 300 voice messaging systems (using APIC integration)
• Octel 250 and 350 voice messaging systems (using FLT-A/PIC-A integration)
• Lucent Definity G3 PBX systems
The following sections provide you with an overview of the DPA 7630 and its
interactions with the other components in traditional and IP telephony networks:
• Understanding How the DPA 7630 Works, page 10-21
• Choosing an Integration Mode, page 10-22
Pros Cons
• IP users get access to voice
messaging as they migrate from
the PBX.
• Relatively inexpensive to
implement
• Same voice feature shortfall as
type A systems
• No voice mail interaction between
voice messaging and Cisco uOne
• Ideally, DID (DDI) trunks would
be moved from PBX to IP network
to follow the users. Otherwise,
some features might be lost.
