Adding subscribers from a range

Message Networking allows you to bulk add subscribers from a range.

It is important to keep the following considerations in mind when adding subscribers within a range:

• When using the Bulk Add by Range feature, you need to limit the range administered on the Message Networking system to the actual range (or subranges) used on the remote message server. The range of mailbox IDs within which you can add subscribers is defined in the dial plan for the remote machine to which you are adding the subscribers. In some cases, tens of thousands of default subscribers have been added for remote machines that actually have only a few hundred subscribers. Having thousands of default subscribers can adversely affect system performance and create additional operational costs. Always use the minimum number of bulk-added subscribers.
• Since Aria Digital and Serenade Digital systems support Demand NameSend and INTUITY AUDIX systems support Demand Remote Update to initialize the Message Networking subscriber database, a Bulk Add by Range is never used for these types of machines (nor is any of the other types of add methods mentioned in this list). In addition, the digital system types notify Message Networking when a new subscriber has been added so that Message Networking can update its directory.
• The name, community ID, and language ID are optional.
• The user ID and email domain are optional for non-SMTP subscribers. The user ID defaults to the network address; the email domain defaults to the incoming domain administered for the corresponding SMTP machine. It is important that you change the user IDs of SMTP subscribers to the subscribers' actual user IDs on the remote machine so that messages can be sent to and received by the subscribers.
• The language ID defaults to en-US (US English).
• The community ID defaults to the default community ID administered for the end node.
• The name defaults to: 1 xxxx <network address>.
