The following table lists the procedures for adding new INTUITY
Release 4.0 or later remote machines 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 INTUITY AUDIX system.
If you are unfamiliar with the INTUITY AUDIX, ask the INTUITY AUDIX
system administrator to assist you.
Note: TCP/IP administration must be completed
on the INTUITY AUDIX system before you add the remote machine to
the Message Networking system.

On
the INTUITY AUDIX system:
Gather information about the INTUITY AUDIX
remote machine that you are adding. You should obtain the
following information:
- Log
into the INTUITY AUDIX system.
- From
the INTUITY Main Menu, select Audix Administration. From
the command prompt, type
display machine and
press Enter. The Machine Profile screen
displays.
- From
the Machine Profile screen, obtain the following information:
- The
machine name from the Local Machine Name field.
- The
IP address from the Dial Str field.
- The
system's network password from the Password field.
- The
extension length from the Extension Length field.
- Extension
ranges
Note:
Exclude address ranges associated with mailboxes that
will never receive messages, such as automated attendants,
bulletin boards, and so on.
Note:
The Data Rate and Channel fields on the Local Machine
Administration screen should contain 0 and 00 respectively.
- Press
F7 to go to the next page.
- From
the Machine Profile screen, Page 2, make sure that the Allow
Automatic Full Updates field is set to y.
- For
TCP/IP Networking, set Network Turnaround to n.

Obtain
a test mailbox number on the INTUITY system from the INTUITY
AUDIX system administrator. You will use this mailbox to send
and receive test messages through 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 INTUITY AUDIX subscribers
via the PBX. You can obtain the area code and local exchange
from the switch administrator.
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 INTUITY AUDIX 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.

On
the Message Networking system:
Gather
the information about the Message Networking system that you
will need when administering the Message Networking system
on the INTUITY AUDIX system:
On the
General Parameters page:
- Record
the Local Machine Name.
- Record
the IP address from the Local Machine IP Address field.
- Record
the password in the Password field.
- Record
the number of digits in the Network Address Length field.
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. |

On
the INTUITY AUDIX system:
Administer the Message Networking system as
a remote machine on the INTUITY system.
- From
the Main Menu, select Networking Administration.
- From
the Networking Administration menu, select Local Machine
Administration. The Local Machine Administration screen
displays.
- On
the Local Machine Administration screen, verify that the
Local Machine Name and Password fields have been administered.

F6 to return to the Networking Administration
menu, and then select Remote Machine Administration.
- From
the Remote Machine Administration menu, select Digital Networking
Machine Administration.
- On
the Digital Network Machine Administration screen:
-
In the Machine Name field, type the name of the Message
Networking system. The name must be unique to any other
system that the INTUITY AUDIX communicates with and
must be an exact case-sensitive match of the Message
Networking Local Machine Name you recorded on the General
Parameters page on the Message Networking system.
- In
the Connection field, type TCP/IP.
- In
the Dial Str field, type the IP address of the Message
Networking system.
- In
the Message Transmission Schedule Start, End, and Interval
fields, you normally use the defaults. It is recommended
that the first row be 00:01, 23:59,
and 00:01, respectively. However, if
there are many INTUITY AUDIX systems in the Message
Networking network, consider staggering the start times
on each system.
- In
the Data Rate field, type 0. This time
is irrelevant since the connection uses TCP/IP.
- In
the Password field, type the password you recorded from
the Password field on the General Parameters page on
the Message Networking system.
- In
the Channel field, type 00 to configure
the INTUITY AUDIX system to use whatever channel is
available.
- In
the Machine Type field, press F2 to
view the choices, and then select Intuity 4.0
or later. Message Networking is treated as
a networked INTUITY AUDIX 4.0 system by the INTUITY
system.
- In
the Send Multimedia Messages field, type y.
Generally, it is best to allow INTUITY AUDIX to send
all components of multimedia messages to Message Networking.
Then, if the target system cannot accept all components,
a recorded message informs the receiver about the component
that failed.
- Press
F8 to change keys, then press F2
to add the record.
- Press
F8 to change keys again, and then press
F6 (Cancel) until you return to the Main

on the General Parameters page in Message Networking.
- For
the Default Community ID field, this field is generally
left at the default of 1.
- In
the Prefix column for ADDRESS RANGES, enter prefixes
if appropriate. Generally, you will leave these fields
blank.
- In
the first fields in the Start Ext. and End Ext. columns,
type the start and end points of the extension ranges
on the Message Networking network. Generally, to cover
all network address combinations, you can enter a series
of 0's in the Start Ext. column and as series of 9's
in the End Ext. column. Enter the number of 0's or 9's
equal to the number of digits in the Message Networking
extension length.
- Press
F7 to proceed to the next page. On the
Machine Profile screen, Page 2:
- In
the Send to Non-Administered Recipients, type y
to allow the INTUITY AUDIX system to send messages to
