We have Nortel Meridian PBX's distributed in 5 sites. The Meridian Mail is centrally located. Currently, the customer has p-to-p T1's between sites with 12 channels nailed up for PRI voice, the rest are for their data WAN. We want to introduce NM-HDV modules at the remotes and packetize all voice traffic between sites.
My concern is the MWI lights and access to personal greetings in a busy/no answer forward to VM. Basically, I don't understand how the Meridian Mail communicates with the remote site handsets and Meridian PBX's. Does anyone know if the H.323 protocol will handle and pass all of the info that a pure PRI D-channel would between PBX's, i.e., will the MWI indicators and access to personal greetings still work with the H.323 in the middle? Is there a way to bridge the D-channel across the WAN? Anyone done this? Thanks a million.
