Adding a site

This topic describes how to use the Voice Mail System Configuration application’s Site Configuration for <VMD name> dialog box to configure sites. Avaya recommends that you must read and understand the Avaya Modular Messaging MultiSite Guide before you attempt to add sites to the voice mail domain.

Note: To configure this dialog box, you must be a member of a security role assigned the MultiSite - Administer task. If you are a member of a role assigned the MultiSite - View task, you have read-only access to this dialog box. See VMSC - VMD - Security Roles Dialog Box.
  1. In the Voice Mail System Configuration window, click the voice mail domain (VMD).
  2. Double-click Sites. The system displays the Sites dialog box for the selected voice mail domain.
  3. Click Configure to open the Site Configuration for <VMD name> dialog box. The dialog box provides a preview of the following elements that can be configured for a site or site group:
  4. In the Site Configuration dialog box, click the Add drop-down list or right-click a site group. Select Add site to open the New Site dialog box.
  5. From the Parent Site Group drop-down list, select the site-group you want the new site to be the child of.
  6. In the Site name field, enter a name for the site.
  7. In the Site Identifier field, enter a unique number, for example, the country code and area code. The site identifier is always preceded by the identifier of its parent site group.
  8. You must carefully choose the site identifier, because you cannot change its identifier, once the site is created.

  9. In the Full mailbox length field, enter the length of the full mailbox number.
  10. Full mailbox number of a subscriber in a MultiSite-enabled voice mail domain includes the site group and site identifiers and the short mailbox number. For example, if John belongs to the Boston site with a site identifier 1617, which is part of the United States site group with site identifier 1, and his short mailbox number is 3564088, then his full mailbox number is 16173564088.

    However, when the site identifier and the short mailbox numbers overlap, the last digits of the site identifier are also the first digits of the short mailbox number. For example, the length of Mary’s full mailbox number is set to 8. If the site identifier is 4 digits (8867) and the length of the short mailbox number is 6 (674092), then the last digits of the site identifier, 67, and the first digits of the short mailbox number, are common.

  11. In the Short mailbox length field, enter the length of the short mailbox number.
  12. From the PBX drop-down list, select the switch that handles the incoming and outgoing calls for the site.
  13. Click Add. The new site appears in the Site/group tree.
  14. Click OK to close the Site Configuration dialog box.
