Completed

Task

Obtain the completed planning worksheet for the remote machine. You will use the information from this worksheet when you configure the remote machine parameters for the new Message Networking machine.

Obtain the Dial Plan Mapping requirements for the remote machine from your account representative to determine how to map the new system's dial plan.

Administer the remote machine parameters for the new non-Avaya SMTP/MIME remote machine.

If you are setting up this remote machine as the default SMTP/MIME remote machine to handle SMTP messages from remote machines not administered on Message Networking:

Enter a value in the SMTP/MIME Auto-Assign Mailbox ID field on the General Parameters page.
Use the SMTP Security page to control incoming and outgoing SMTP/MIME messages, either by domain name or by network address.

Administer the Dial Plan Mapping for the remote machine, using the Dial Plan Mapping requirements you obtained.

Use one of the following methods to administer subscribers on the Message Networking system (in order of preference):

Use FTP to add subscribers.
Initiate Bulk Add from the Message Networking system.
Use self-registration to add subscribers' voiced names.
Send a message from the new subscriber.
Register through the Administration page.

Verify that the remote machine has been added to the Message Networking system:

View the Remote Machines List to verify that the new remote machine is listed.
View the Remote Machine Dial Plan List to verify that the new remote machine is listed.

Perform a remote machine connectivity test.

Administer directory views, if appropriate. Full updates are used for SMTP/MIME–Other systems.

Update existing remote machines in the Message Networking network for subscribers on the new non-Avaya SMTP/MIME system. The Adding and updating subscribers overview provides information on how subscribers are updated for the different types of remote machines.
