The following table lists the procedures for adding a new Aria
Digital 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 Digital system.
If you are unfamiliar with the Aria Digital, ask the Aria Digital
system administrator to assist you.
Note: The menu options provided in the checklist
assume that Aria is being accessed from a local terminal or modem
port and it not being accessed via a flex port.

On
the Aria Digital system:
Gather information about the Aria Digital
system that you are adding:
- From
the Main Menu, select System Maintenance (menu option 13),
followed by Display Software Levels (menu option 4). On
the Display Software Levels screen:
- Record
the Network Serial #.
- Check
the Software Rel. field. If it does not display Aria
02.05 or greater, the system must be upgraded
to work with Message Networking. Message Networking
supports Aria Digital Release A2.05 and greater and
A3.X.
- From
the Main Menu, select System Maintenance (menu option 13),
followed by Display Software Features Installed (menu option
7). On the Display Software Features Installed screen, check
that the following fields are marked with a Y:
- 44
- Networking
- 56
- Fax Processing
- 66
- Fax Delivery Mailbox
- Go
to Page 2 of the Display Software Feature Installed screen
and check that the following fields are marked with a Y:
- 74
- Digital Networking
- 73
- Connectivity
- From
the Aria Digital system administrator, obtain:
- A
specific mailbox ID on the Aria Digital system that
will receive and send a test message through Message
Networking.
|
| |
On
the Aria Digital system:
Verify that the Aria Digital system is enabled
for digital networking:
- From
the Main Menu, select LAN Interface Management (menu option
22), followed by IP Address and Net Mask Configuration (menu
option 1). On the IP Address and Net Mask Configuration
screen:
- Check
that the This Server's IP Address field is complete,
and record the IP address.
- Check
that the IP Net Mask field is complete, and record the
Net Mask.
Note:
If either field is not complete, have the Aria
system administrator enter the appropriate information
on the Aria system.
- From
the Main Menu, select LAN Interface Management (menu option
22), followed by TCP/IP Parameter Configuration (menu option
2). On the TCP/IP Parameter Configuration screen:
- Check
that the Gateway IP Address field is complete. If the
field is not complete, get the appropriate gateway IP
address from the LAN administrator and have the Aria
Digital system administrator enter it in this field.
Note:
if the Aria system and the Message Networking system are
to communicate over the Internet, this address must be
a registered IP address.

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.

the IP address from the Local Machine IP Address field.
- Record
the number of digits in the Network Address Length field.
- Record
the Octel Analog Serial Number.
If this
is a new Message Networking system and the fields on the General
Parameters page are not yet completed, you must administer
the General Parameters page before continuing. |

Aria system requires you to enter a number in the Phone
Number field. However, this number is not used by Message
Networking for digital nodes, so enter any number in
this field
- In
the IP Address field, type the IP address that appears
in the Local Machine IP Address field on the General
Parameters page in Message Networking.
- In
the Name Transmission Allowed field, type N
to avoid having recipients of messages from Aria Digital
subscribers hear the sender's name twice.
- In
the Play Node Name field, type N.
- In
the ASCII Name Check field, type 1
for Check All Messages. This value tells the Aria system
to check that the ASCII names attached to messages sent
to the Aria system are correct.
- On
the Node Profile (weekday schedule) screen, complete the
following fields:
- 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

- On
the Node Profile screen (prefix page), in the Enter option
field, type A to add a prefix.
Enter the prefix plus additional digits
needed to address messages through the Message Networking
system. Contact the Aria system administrator for help
completing this screen. Keep in mind that any network
addresses that need to be addressed from the Aria Digital
system to the Message Networking system must be added
to this screen.
If there are no conflicts due to using
point-to-point networking previously administered, you
can set up the prefix plus additional digits combinations
to cover all possible combinations, as shown in the example
that follows. However, if there are conflicts, the Aria
administrator might need to help you determine the correct
prefix plus additional digits to enter to ensure that
the correct digits are sent to the Message Networking
system.
The following table provides a sample
prefix plus additional digits configuration for sending
to a 10-digit Message Networking system. In this example,
there are no conflicts due to previously administered
point-to-point networking, so the prefix and remaining
digit combinations in the Node Profile screen allow for
all possible 10-digit combinations of network addresses.
