Add Networked Machine field descriptions

Name Description
Machine Name The name of the server that you want to add.
Password The password used for directory updates.
Confirm Password Confirm the password that you entered in the Password field.
IP Address The IP address of the server that you want to add.
Machine Type The server type for the server you want to add.

For all machines except the local machine, the server type is LDAP.

Mailbox Number Length The length of the long or global mailbox number.

The Mailbox Number Length must be comma-separated numbers. There must be no spaces and each number must be between 2 and 50 only.

Default Community Do not use this field.
Updates In Specifies whether the local server accepts directory updates from the network server.
If you are administering the local server, this field controls updates on a system-wide basis. The options are:
  • yes: Accepts directory updates from network servers.

  • no: Blocks directory updates to the sever, regardless of the setting of the field for the network server.

Updates Out Specifies whether the local server can send updates about users to the specified remote server.

If you are administering the local server, this field controls updates on a system-wide basis.

Remote LDAP Port The port that the system uses to connect to the network server to send directory updates.

The default is the port that you specify in the LDAP Directory Update Port field on the System Ports and Access Web page.

Inbound LDAP Security The type of encryption required for the connection between the storage server and a remote network server for inbound LDAP directory updates.

When you set the Updates In field to no, the system denies any attempt by a remote network server to update the LDAP directory without using the specified level of security. The options are:

  • Must use SSL: Requires SSL encryption for inbound LDAP directory updates.

  • Must use SSL or encrypted SASL: Requires either SASL or SSL encryption for inbound LDAP directory updates .

The default value is Must use SSL or encrypted SASL.

Outbound SMTP Port The port the system uses to connect to this network server.

The defaults are port 25 for SMTP and port 465 for Secure SMTP.

Outbound SMTP Service The type of SMTP service required for the connection between the storage server and a remote network server.

Choices are SMTP or Secure SMTP.

MAILBOX NUMBER RANGES

The total length of the prefix and the mailbox number must not exceed 64 digits.

Prefix The prefix for the range of telephone numbers for users on the server.

The system uses the prefix to distinguish between servers that have overlapping ranges for mailbox numbers.

Starting Mailbox Number The first number in the range for mailbox numbers on this server.

The number of digits in the range must match the entry in the Mailbox Number Length field.

Unless you have a specific reason for excluding some ranges, start with 1 preceded by leading zeros.

Example of a five-digit number: 00001.

Ending Mailbox Number The last number in the range for mailbox numbers on this server.

Example of a five-digit number: 99999.

Telephone Number Mapping

When a local user receives a call-answer message, the system attempts to match the sender calling party number (CPN) to a user number in the database.

Enable Telephone Number Mapping The options are:
  • yes: Use a lookup table to map the CPN of the sender to the number of the recipient.

  • no: Instructs the system not to identify the recipients as users in the Messaging network.

If you change this option from yes to no, the system deletes all previously defined mapping from the local database. The system also sets the telephone numbers for all existing users associated with the network server to null.

Map From The system compares the digit string that you enter in this field to the base numbers for a user.
A match occurs when the value in the Map From field is the same as the initial digits of the base number. If this happens, the system creates a mapped telephone number by:
  • Stripping the matching digits from the base number

  • Prepending the number in the Map To field to the base number.

If the Map From field is empty, the system compares incoming CPNs to all base numbers.

Valid values are digits from 0 through 50.

You can add more than one set of Map From and Map To numbers. If you add more than one set, the sets can differ in length.

Map To
The digits string that the system prepends to the base number after the system strips the digits that match the Map From field. When the Map To field is:
  • Empty: The system does not prepend digits to the base number after digit stripping.

  • none: The system sets the matching telephone number to null.

The Map To entries can be of different lengths. The resulting telephone numbers must not be longer than 50 digits.
Add Mapping The mapping to add to the mapping table.
Delete Mapping The mapping to delete from the mapping table. To change an existing mapping, delete the mapping and then create a new mapping.
