Abstract
The present invention is an apparatus that receives various types of call record information when a called number is busy or does not answer, and converts the call record information into uniform format information suitable for recording messages on a message storage system. The system receives the different call forwarding information from different devices and translates and reformats that information into mailbox information suitable for controlling a message storage operation. The system includes one integration process for each type of switching device even when plural devices of a particular type are connected to the system. The integration processes provide a uniform packet routed to the message storage system. Packets arriving from the message storage system defined for a switching device are presented to the integration processes in a uniform format.
