MAS - VME - Input File Field Names & Descriptions

The User Listing Tool (FEDBQuery) records information about subscribers in the Comma Separated Value (*.CSV) file, such as the Directory Name and Numeric Address. This information is known as a Subscriber Specification Record (SSR).

You can change the values in the input file as you require. For example, if you do not want to enable voice mail for some of the subscribers listed in the input file, you can either remove the SSR for each subscriber or enter 1 in the Ignore Row field.

Input File Format

The fields (data items) of an input file are separated by commas. Each row lists values for these fields:

“Directory Name”, Numeric Address, Extension Number, VMDID, Mailbox Number, Numeric Password, Locale ID, Voice Mail Enabled, Call Me, Find Me, Message Waiting Indicator, Class of Service, Personal Operator Mailbox, Personal Operator Schedule, Ignore Row

Some are mandatory for use with the Bulk Voice Mail Enabler (VMEnable) and some are optional, as noted below.

Input File Field Names & Descriptions

Some of the input file fields are mandatory for use with the Bulk Voice Mail Enabler (VMEnable) and some are optional, as noted below.

Where a default setting is noted below, this refers to input files generated using the User Listing Tool (FEDBQuery).

Directory Name (Mandatory) Enter the relative distinguished name of the Microsoft Exchange user in the Microsoft Exchange directory.

For example, "/o=Local Curryhouse/ou=First Administrative Group/cn=Recipients/cn=Jim1".

Note: If the string of the Directory Name contains spaces, you must enclose it within quotes. This is so that it can be recognized by the Bulk Voice Mail Enabler.

Numeric Address (Mandatory) Enter a string of digits that uniquely identifies a recipient across the organization. Use the specific number assigned to the subscriber, for example, the telephone number or employee number.

Note: If you are using Octel Analog Networking, the Numeric Address length must not exceed 10 digits.

The Telephone User Interface (TUI) uses the numeric address for addressing a message. It is also used for Message Networking. For more information on numeric addresses, see the Avaya Modular Messaging Concepts and Planning Guide.

Extension Number (Optional) Enter the telephone extension number of the subscriber.

If you do not enter a value in this field, the extension number will be the same as the mailbox number. If you do not enter a value in the Mailbox Number field, you must enter a value in the Extension Number field.

VMDID (Mandatory) Enter the Voice Mail Domain Identifier (VMDID). This is a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) which identifies the voice mail domain to which the subscribers are added, for example, 42E46DBB-2212-4c28-9D09-EF87A6E13993.

You can determine the VMDID using the Voice Mail System Configuration application. In the tree, click the voice mail domain node. Right-click the Licensing node and select Copy Host ID to Clipboard. This copies the selected VMDID to the Windows Clipboard. For more information, see VMSC - VMD - Installing a Permanent License.

If you do not enter a VMDID value, for all subscribers the Bulk Voice Mail Enabler uses the VMDID of the MAS with which it communicates.

Mailbox Number (Optional) Enter the mailbox number of the subscriber.

If you do not enter a value in this field, the Bulk Voice Mail Enabler uses the extension number of the subscriber. You must enter a value in this field if you have not specified the extension number of the subscriber.

For more information on mailbox numbers, see the Avaya Modular Messaging Concepts and Planning Guide.

Numeric Password (Mandatory) Enter the numeric password of the subscriber.

Note: You must not set a password that is the same as the Mailbox Number.

The subscriber can change the password through the Modular Messaging TUIs or Subscriber Options.

For more information on the minimum password length and other password parameters set in the Voice Mail System Configuration application, see VMSC - VMD - Telephone User Interface - Subscriber Tab.

Locale ID (Mandatory) Enter the unique identifier for the language used in the subscriber’s TUI. These IDs are available:

1028 Chinese (Taiwan)

2052 Chinese (Mainland)

1043 Dutch

3081 English (Australian)

2057 English (UK)

1033 English (US)

33801 English (US) Teletypewriter (TTY)

3084 French (Canadian)

1036 French (Parisian)

1031 German (Standard)

1037 Hebrew

1040 Italian (Standard)

1041 Japanese

1042 Korean

1046 Portuguese (Brazilian)

3082 Spanish (Castilian)

2058 Spanish (Latin American)

2048 The system default.

Voice Mail Enable (Mandatory) Enter 1 to enable voice mail on the subscriber’s mailbox, or 0 (the default) to disable it.

Call Me (Mandatory) Enter 1 to enable the Call Me feature on the subscriber’s mailbox, or 0 (the default) to disable it.

Note: The subscriber must then configure the Call Me settings on the mailbox to activate this feature.

Find Me (Mandatory) Enter 1 to enable the Find Me feature on the subscriber’s mailbox, or 0 (the default) to disable it.

Note: The subscriber must then configure the Find Me settings on the mailbox to activate this feature.

Message Waiting Indicator (Mandatory) Enter 1 to enable the Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) feature on the subscriber’s mailbox, or 0 (the default) to disable it.

Note: The subscriber must then configure the MWI settings on the mailbox to activate this feature.

Class of Service (Mandatory) Enter the Class of Service number assigned to the subscriber. This is a numeric value between 1 and 24.

The numeric value represents a category which is used to determine the access of subscribers to system options and features.

Personal Operator Mailbox (Mandatory) Enter the mailbox number or transfer dial string of the subscriber’s personal operator.

If you do not wish to assign a personal operator for a subscriber leave this column blank for the subscriber.

Note: You must not set the subscriber’s mailbox number or transfer dial string as the personal operator number.

Personal Operator Schedule (Mandatory) Enter the GUID of the personal operator schedule that determines when to route calls to the personal operator mailbox, for example, D92EDE74-AA65-43ba-9E52-7CAC1DDCE82B.

You can determine the GUID of the personal operator schedule using the Voice Mail System Configuration application. In the tree, click the voice mail domain node. Right-click the Telephone User Interface node and select Copy schedule IDs to clipboard. This copies the names and GUIDs of all the personal operator schedules to the Windows Clipboard. For more information, see VMSC - VMD - Telephone User Interface Dialog Box.

You can then paste this list into a word processing document and select the appropriate schedule ID from the list to paste into the Personal Operator Schedule field of the input file.

If you do not wish to assign a schedule to the personal operator mailbox of a subscriber, leave this column blank for the subscriber. If no schedule is associated, then the personal operator is always active by default.

Ignore Row (Mandatory) Enter 1 (the default) to tell the Bulk Voice Mail Enabler to skip processing the SSR for the subscriber, or 0 to process the SSR.

Note: If you use a spreadsheet to create the *.CSV file, rather than the User Listing Tool, the Ignore Row field is sometimes left blank. If so, you must enter either 1 or 0 in this field so that the Bulk Voice Mail Enabler can recognize the setting.
