Field
Valid Input
Description
Machine Name
From 1 to 10 alphanumeric characters; can
include dashes or underscores
Enter a unique name for the remote machine.
Machine Type
tcpip=digital networking ichg54=Interchange 5.4 or later; use tcpip for Interchange
pre-5.4 amisap=AMIS analog preadministered machine amisac=AMIS analog with casual addressing calld=Call delivery to non-administered number
Enter the type of machine you are creating or changing.
When creating or changing a remote machine for digital networking,
this field must be ichg54 for Interchange 5.4 or later
and tcpip for all others.
Location
Display only
Displays the location remote.
Voiced Name?
y = yes n = no
This field contains an n until you record
a name for the machine. This field automatically changes to y
when you record a name for the machine.
Extension Length
An integer from 3 to 10
Enter the length of extensions on the local system. The value you enter must match the extension length in your dial plan.
Voice ID
Display-only
Displays a system-assigned identifier that you must use to identify the machine if you decide to record machine names.
Default Community
An integer from 1 to 15
If you have administered your system to use community sending restrictions, enter the default community number for your subscriber population.
Prefix
From 0 to 21 alphanumeric characters
Enter the prefix digits. A user enters the prefix
before the remote subscriber's extension when addressing voice
messages. To simplify this task, use a short, descriptive prefix.
The total length of the prefix plus the extension must not exceed
24 characters. The system uses the prefix only to identify subscribers.
It is not used for dialing out, so it does not need to match an
area code or office code. The following are examples of possible
prefixes:
No prefix. The prefix is required only
when one or more of the remote subscribers share the same extension
numbers as the local subscribers (the extension ranges of the two
systems overlap). If there are no overlapping extension numbers, a
prefix is not needed.
Public network access code. When addressing
a message to a remote subscriber, the local subscriber enters the
remote subscriber's number as if placing a call to that subscriber.
Location code. This method simplifies
addressing messages by requiring only an alphanumeric code in front
of the extension number. Location codes are shorter and often easier
to remember.
Start Ext.
A 3-digit to a 10-digit string
Enter the starting extensions for the ranges of telephone numbers used on the local system. (Designate a block of switch extensions that can be used at the local system when assigning subscribers.)
For example, if your system uses extensions between
2000 and 3000, enter 2000 in the Start Ext.
field.
Up to 10 different ranges can be specified
to pinpoint the exact set of extension blocks used by the local
system. The length of the start and end extension must agree with
the Extension Length field. For a 5-digit extension,
the default is from 00000 to 99999.
End Ext.
A 3-digit to10-digit string
Enter the ending extensions for the ranges
of telephone numbers used on the local system.
For example, if your system uses extensions between 2000 and 3000, enter 3000 in the End Ext. field.
Warnings
Display-only
This field displays a warning when a duplication or overlap of an extension range for another machine is being assigned.
