| Machine Name: |
A unique name consisting of 1 to 10 alphanumeric characters |
A machine name of your choice for example, fax_onsite, fax_local, or fax_long_d. The machine name is a convenience to you, so enter a name that is easy to recognize and remember. Each machine must have a unique name in the AMIS analog or Avaya Intuity digital network. The system does not support two machines with the same name or the same address ranges. Use F2 (Choices) to view the existing machine names. |
| Dial Str: |
1- to 24- character dial string (At least one character is required.)
|
A dial string is a series of numbers used to initiate a call to the remote AMIS analog networking machine. A dial string tells the switch what type of call is coming (local or long distance) and gives the switch time to obtain an outgoing port, if needed. When determining the AMIS dial string, use any dialing conventions or restrictions normally used to call outside numbers or central office numbers, or to access long distance lines. If you do not need a dial string, enter "P" (include the quotation marks). "P" specifies a pause of 1.5 seconds. For longer pauses, enter additional "P"s. For example, "P" "P" "P" equals 4.5 seconds. |
| Dial Str:
(continued) |
|
The system attaches the dial string you administer to the numbers the subscriber enters and then sends the complete number (dial string plus fax number) to the switch, where the call to the fax endpoint is completed. The entire number (dial string + prefix + fax number) must not exceed 24 characters. Examples of dial strings are:
- For printing within the building, use "P".
- For printing at a local telephone number, you might use 9"P". The 9 accesses an outgoing trunk on the switch, and the "P" adds a 1.5 second pause before dialing the local telephone number.
- For printing at a long distance telephone number, you might use 9"P""P"1. This accesses an outgoing trunk on the switch, adds a 3-second pause (2 x 1.5 seconds) before dialing the long distance number, and adds a 1 for long distance access at the telephone service provider.
The General Delivery Example table provides settings for typical fax print destination machines. |
| Message Transmission Schedule 1: 2: 3:
|
24-hour clock time in the format hh:mm hh = hours mm = minutes
|
Enter the start time in the 1: start: field and the ending time in the end: field. Use a 24-hour or international clock format starting at 00:00 and ending at 23:59. To establish multiple send times, repeat this procedure for the second and third schedules. Avaya Intuity sends faxes to call delivery machines only during the time intervals or send times you specify. Therefore, the message transmission schedules allow you to control the time intervals for network communication. For example, if you want fax transmission to start at 11:00 p.m. and to end 30 minutes later, enter 23:00 in the start time field and 23:30 in the end time field. If, however, you want faxes delivered to machines at all hours, enter 00:00 in the start: field and enter 23:59 in the end: field. Send times can be assigned to avoid periods of heavy traffic, if desired. The total time of the cycles cannot exceed 24 hours. However, a cycle can span across midnight. The start and end times of cycles cannot overlap. The times specified for fax message transmission must be equal to or a subset of the outcalling transmission times that are administered on the System Parameters - Outcalling screen. For example, if you schedule message-delivery messages to be sent anytime during the day (that is, from 00:00 to 23:59), but outcalling periods are scheduled only from 07:00 to 18:00, fax message delivery will occur only between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. |
