The following table lists the procedures for adding a new Aria
Analog remote machine to the Message Networking system. The procedures
appear in the sequence in which they are performed.
Some of these tasks require you to access the Aria Analog system.
If you are unfamiliar with the Aria Analog, ask the Aria Analog
system administrator to assist you.
| Completed |
Task |
|
|
On
the Aria Analog system:
Check the Customer
Options page to verify that the Octel Analog Nodes field
is set to ON.
|
| |
On
the Aria Analog system:
Gather information about the Aria Analog system
that you are adding. You should obtain the following information
from the Aria Analog system administrator:
On the Installation Information screen:
- From
the VPMOD Phone Number field, record the system phone number.
From the
Software Features Installed screen, Page 1:
From the
Software Feature Installed screen, Page 2:
- Check
that the 73 - Connectivity field is marked with a Y.
From the
Aria Analog system administrator, obtain:
- A specific
mailbox ID on the Aria Analog system that will receive and
send a test message through Message Networking.
From the
Port Assignments screen:
- Check
the N (Network) column for ports that have Y.
You must have at least one port enabled for networking to
connect to Message Networking.

Gather
the information that you will need when you later administer
the dial plan mapping on the Message Networking system.
Obtain
the Network Address Length from the General Parameters page
on the Message Networking system. This number represents the
specific number of digits, usually 7 or 10, required for messages
to be sent through the Message Networking system. Generally,
the network address consists of the dial plan mapping plus
the extension. Usually, for your dial plan mapping, you will
use the same area code and local exchange (DID) used to reach
the Aria subscribers via the PBX. You can obtain the area
code and local exchange from the switch administrator. You
also need to obtain the extension range for the Aria system.
You can obtain this range from the Aria system administrator
or from the Octel Mailbox Manager software, if you have purchased
this software.
For example,
for a system requiring 10-digit dialing, mailboxes in the
range 20000 to 29999 might
normally be preceded by 555-12. If an outside
caller wants to leave a message for mailbox 20001,
the caller needs to dial 555-122-0001. This
same number can be used to create the network address. In
this case, 55512 is the dial plan mapping on the Message Networking
system and 20001 is the 5-digit Aria extension. This example
assumes the network address requires 10-digit dialing.
However,
it is possible in a 7-digit or 10-digit dialing area that
different ranges on the new system could be preceded by different
dial plan mapping. Therefore, although some mailboxes are
preceded by 555-12, a different extension
range 50000 to 59999 might
be preceded by 555-34. In this case, an outside
caller would dial 555-345-0002 to call mailbox
50002. These numbers can also be used to
create the network addresses. In this example, to create the
network address on the Message Networking system, you can
add a Dial Plan mapping
for this remote machine where, for mailbox ranges 50000 to
59999, you administer a Map To of 55534. This configuration
adds 55534 to the mailbox IDs in the specified range to create
the 10-digit network addresses. |

a Aria network node on the Aria system:
On the Valid Node Numbers and Message Queues
Selected screen:
- In
the Select Node field, enter 0.
- In
the Select Message Queue field, enter 0.
On the
Valid Node Numbers and Message Queues List screen:
- Check
the list of numbers in the Node # column, and note the numbers
available in the sequence.
On the
Node Profile screen:
- In
the Node Number field, enter the node number for Message
Networking.
- In
the Node Name field, type the name of the Message Networking
system.
- In
the Number of Digits in a Mailbox field, enter the number
of digits that appears in the Network Address Length field
on the General Parameters page in Message Networking.
- In
the Serial Number field, type the serial number that appears
in the Octel Analog Networking Serial Number field on the
General Parameters page in Message Networking.
- In
the NameNet Type field, type 0 for COS-based
type. This entry requires that subscribers on the Aria system
have a specific class of service that allows their name
to appear in the Message Networking subscriber database.
- In
the NameSend field, type 0 for None because
NameNet is not available for Octel Analog Networking connections.
- In
the Phone Number field, type the analog phone number of
the Message Networking system. This number is combined with
the entry in the Dialing Sequence field to form the complete
dial sequence that Aria performs. The Message Networking
phone number can be found in the Telephone Number field
on the AMIS Analog Parameters page in Message Networking.
- (Optional)
In the Dialing Sequence field, type the dialing sequence,
which is to be included with the Phone Number field.
- In
the Access Type field, type 0 for Direct
Dial.
- In
the Maximum Simultaneous Analog Transmissions field, type
1, which is normally the number of simultaneous
connection you need. However, if you anticipate heaving
remote messaging traffic, you can enter 2 or 3. Note that
this number cannot exceed the number of ports administered
for networking.
- In
the Threshold field, type the number of outgoing messages
(msgs) in queue after which the system uses an additional
transmission connection for networked messages to Message
Networking. Also type the cumulative number of minutes (mins)
of messages after which an additional transmission connection
is used. The Threshold applies only if the Maximum Simultaneous
Analog Transmissions is greater than 1.
- In
the Name Transmission Allowed field, type N
to avoid having recipients of messages from Aria Analog
subscribers hear the sender's name twice.
- In
the Play Node Name field, type N to avoid
having recipients of messages from Aria Analog subscribers
hear the sender's name twice.
- In
the ASCII Name Check field, type 1 to allow
Aria to verify ASCII remote subscriber names when receiving
messages from Message Networking.
- In
the Node Response Allowed field, type N.
This capability is not allowed for Octel Analog Networking.
On the
Node Profile (Weekday Schedule) screen:
- In
the Begin and End fields for Window 1, type the range of
time for Aria to send messages to Message Networking. For
example, if you enter 12:00a in the Begin field and 11:59p
in the End field, delivery can occur 24 hours a day.
- In
the Interval field for Window 1, type 0
for Immediate. This value means that Aria will pass messages
to Message Networking as soon as they are recorded and queued.
- In
the Priority field for Window 1, type A
for Administrative Messages. Administrative messages are
system-level messages like subscriber updates.
- In
the Begin and End fields for Window 2, type the range of
time for Aria to send messages to Message Networking.
- In
the Interval field for Window 2, type 0
for Immediate.
- In
the Priority field for Window 2, type 0
for Non-Urgent/Standard Subscriber Messages. These messages
are regular subscriber messages with normal priority.
On the
Node Profile (Weekend Schedule) screen:
- In
the Begin and End fields for Window 1, type the range of
time for Aria to send messages to Message Networking.
- In
the Interval field for Window 1, type 0
for Immediate.
- In
the Priority field for Window 1, type A
for Administrative Messages.
- In
the Begin and End fields for Window 2, type the range of
time for Aria to send messages to Message Networking.
- In
the Interval field for Window 2, type 0
for Immediate.
- In
the Priority field for Window 2, type 0
for Non-Urgent/Standard Subscriber Messages.
On the
Node Profile screen (Blank Prefix Page):
- In
the Enter prefix to be added field (for the first field
of the PREFIX column), type the first prefix for Message
Networking messages.
- In
the Number of additional digits field (for the first field
of the D column), type the number of additional digits that
must be added to the prefix to create a complete Message
Networking network address. For example, if you enter 9,
this indicates that 9 or more digits must be added to the
prefix.
- Add
additional prefix and additional digits combinations as
required for the Message Networking address ranges.
As an example, suppose the Message Networking
system has a 7-digit dial plan and it has three remote
machines in its network (in addition to the Aria Analog
system that you are adding). One system has mailbox IDs
that begin with 538. Therefore, subscribers are addressed
as 538XXXX. In the second system, subscribers are addressed
as 607XXXX. And in the third system, subscribers are addressed
as 444XXXX. In this example, you would enter three prefixes
in the PREFIX column, each with the Number of additional
digits set to 4.
Note: The combination
of prefix and number of digits you enter for Message Networking
must be unique to any other systems to which the Aria
system is networked. Otherwise, if two remote systems
have the same local mailbox IDs and you enter the same
prefixes, then when the local subscribers address messages,
there might be two or more possible destinations for their
messages.
