1. Log into the Interchange system.
2. From the Interchange Main Menu, select Networking Administration. The Networking Administration menu displays.
3. From the Networking Administration menu, select Local Machine Administration. The Local Machine Administration screen displays.
4. From the Local Machine Administration screen, obtain the following information:
   • The machine name from the Local Machine Name field.
   • The system's password from the Password field.

   Notes:

• The Dial Str field might be populated but you do not need to record this field.
• The Data Rate and Channel fields on the Local Machine Administration screen should contain 0 and 00 respectively.
5. Press F6 to return to the Networking Administration menu.
6. From the Networking Administration menu, select TCP/IP Administration. The TCP/IP Administration screen displays.
7. Record the IP address from the IP Address field.
8. Press F6 until you return to the Interchange Main Menu.
9. From the Interchange Main Menu, select System Parameters. The General Parameters menu displays.
10. From the System Parameters menu, select General Parameters. The General Parameters screen displays.
11. On the General Parameters screen, obtain the following information:
    • The Network Address Length
    • Verify that Updates In and Updates Out are set to y.

Gather the information about the Message Networking system that you will need when administering the Message Networking system on the Interchange 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. All Interchange and Message Networking systems in the network must have the same Network Address Length.

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.

1. From the Main Menu, select Networking Administration.
2. From the Networking Administration menu, select Local Machine Administration. The Local Machine Administration screen displays.
3. On the Local Machine Administration screen, verify that the Local Machine Name and Password fields have been administered. (The other fields on this screen are only relevant if you are performing internal loop-around testing.)
4. Press F6 to return to the Networking Administration menu, and then select Remote Machine Administration.
5. From the Remote Machine Administration menu, select Audix Digital Network Machine Administration.
6. On the Audix 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 Interchange 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 Interchange 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 Interchange 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 4.0 system by the Interchange system.
   • In the Send Multimedia Messages field, type y. Generally, it is best to allow Interchange 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.
7. Press F8 to change keys, then press F2 to add the record.
8. Press F8 to change keys again, and then press F6 until you return to the Main Menu.
9. From the Main Menu, select Interchange Administration.
10. From the Avaya Interchange Administration menu, select Remote Machine Administration. The Remote Machine Administration menu displays.
11. From the Remote Machine Administration menu, select Remote Machine Parameters. The Remote Machine Parameters screen displays.
12. On the Remote Machine Parameters screen, Page 1:
    • In the Remote Machine field, press F2 to view the choices and then select the Message Networking system you added.
    • In the Avaya Interchange field, press F2 to view the choices and then select 5.4.
    • In the Mailbox ID Length field, type the network address of the Message Networking system and press Enter.
    • Set the Failed Msg. Notification, Priority, Msg ID, and Send Message for Warning fields as appropriate.
    • In the Address Range Start field, enter a series of 0's equal to the number of digits in a network address on the Message Networking system. In the Address Range end field, enter a series of 9's equal to the number of digits in a network address on the Message Networking system.
13. Press F5 to view the details screen:
• Set the Subscriber Update field to full.
• Set the Updates In and Updates Out fields to y.
• Set the Voiced Names for Dynamic to n because this is not required for full updates.
• Leave the Dynamic Sub Expiration Days at the system default because you are using full updates.
14. Press F3 to update the record.

On the Interchange system:

1. From the Interchange Administration menu, select Remote Machine Administration. The Remote Machine Administration menu displays.
2. From the Remote Machine Administration menu, select Remote Machine Lists. The Remote Machine Lists menu displays.
3. From the Remote Machine Lists menu, select Remote Machines List. The list of remote machines displays.
4. At the end of the list, record the total number of subscribers.

   Note: Any other Message Networking or Interchange systems must be excluded from the total count. Only remote machines connected directly to this Interchange system are sent to other Message Networking or Interchange systems.

1. From the Interchange Administration menu, select Remote Machine Administration. The Remote Machine Administration menu displays.
2. From the Remote Machine Administration menu, select Demand Remote Updates. The Demand Remote Updates screen displays.
3. From the Demand Remote Updates screen, press F2 to view the choices and then select the Message Networking machine from the list.
