Renaming the Local and Remote Machines

This topic provides information about changing local and remote machine names.

Note: If you change the local machine profile, contact all remote network administrators and inform them of the changes.

Renaming the Local Machine

A local machine is added when the INTUITY AUDIX system is installed. You cannot add a second local machine or delete a local machine. You can only rename the local machine.

After you rename the local machine, you must restart the INTUITY AUDIX system by using the reset voice-mail restart command for the new name to take effect. The restart process takes some time and it is recommended that it be done during off hours. See Restarting the Voice System for more information.

To rename a local machine:

 

1. Log in to the INTUITY AUDIX command prompt screen.
   

   The system displays the AUDIX command prompt screen.

2. Enter change machine at the enter command: prompt.

The system displays page 1 of the Local Machine Profile screen.

3. Type the new name of the local machine in the Name: field.




Note: For TCP/IP, the new name must be the same as the Host Name on the S8300 Node Names-MSA screen.

The machine name can be up to 10 alphanumeric characters in length. The following rules apply:

• The machine name cannot contain blank (embedded) spaces. For example, denver 1 is not allowed, but denver_1 is allowed.
• The Machine Name field is a case-sensitive field. Uppercase letters must be entered as uppercase, and lowercase letters as lowercase.
• Hyphens (-) are allowed.
• Underscores ( _ ) are allowed.
• The machine name cannot start with a number.
4. Press F3 (Save) to enter the new name into the system.
5. Enter another administrative command at the enter command: prompt or enter exit.

 

Renaming a Remote Machine

To change the name of a remote machine:

 

1. Log in to the INTUITY AUDIX command prompt screen.
   

   The system displays the AUDIX command prompt screen.

2. Enter change machine remote_machine_name at the enter command: prompt.

The system displays page 1 of the Remote Machine Profile screen.
 

Note: If you do not know the names of the remote machines, enter list machines at the enter command: prompt. The system displays a list of all machines administered on the system.

3. Enter the new name for the remote machine in the Name: field. The name must be unique. The machine name can be up to 10 alphanumeric characters in length. The following rules apply:
   • The machine name cannot contain blank (embedded) spaces. For example, denver 1 is not allowed, but denver_1 is allowed.
   • The Machine Name field is a case-sensitive field. Uppercase letters must be entered as uppercase, and lowercase letters as lowercase.
   • Hyphens (-) are allowed.
   • Underscores ( _ ) are allowed.
   • The machine name cannot start with a number.
