Digital Networking Features

Subscribers who want to send Digital Networking messages to recipients on administered remote systems can:

• Address their messages by name. This feature applies only to administered remote recipients. "Administered" refers to remote subscribers who are entered in the database of the local INTUITY system either manually or through an automatic update.

Include the names and telephone numbers of remote recipients in their personal mailing lists. Nonadministered remote recipients are included only by telephone number.


• Hear the spoken name of the person to whom they are addressing mail or are looking up in the directory. If the administrator has not recorded these names or if the names have not been received in a remote update, subscribers hear only the remote mailbox ID.

Use the names and number directory ( ) to look up telephone numbers by name.

• Assign aliases to any remote recipients on systems administered for Digital Networking. Administered remote recipients can be included by name or telephone number. Nonadministered remote recipients can be included by telephone number only.
• Use automatic addressing to reply to incoming messages.

Digital networking enhances the INTUITY system in these ways:

• Customers with business offices in more than one location, whether in the same building or in different cities, can exchange messages with all locations.
• Customers who exceed the capacity of one INTUITY system at a location can network multiple machines together to enable subscribers to exchange messages as if they were on the same machine.

The following message-exchange features are available for messages exchanged between remote subscribers:

• The ability to address a message by entering a subscriber's name. This is called name addressing.
• The ability to play a recorded name, if a name is recorded for the remote subscriber, when a subscriber addresses a message to the remote subscriber or when the subscriber receives a message from the remote subscriber.
• The ability to forward messages to one subscriber or a group of subscribers, respond to messages, and create group mailing lists.
   

  Note: Mailing lists cannot be shared across the network.

• The quality of the voice message received is the same as when it was recorded, no matter how many times the message is forwarded.
• Local and remote subscriber databases are updated automatically with the remote update feature.
• Customers with businesses that operate in different time zones can send or receive messages any time of day or night.
• All that a digital networking subscriber needs to know to exchange messages with remote subscribers is the machine prefix and remote subscriber extension or, if using the name addressing feature, only the subscriber's name.
• Subscribers can exchange fax messages with INTUITY AUDIX Release 3 and later systems that are enabled for fax. However, subscribers must have Internet Messaging or Message Manager to create, display, or print faxes. Additionally, subscribers can print faxes only to printers, not to fax machines.
