The following table lists the procedures for adding new INTUITY
AUDIX LX or Avaya IA770 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 LX
or Avaya IA770 remote system. If you are unfamiliar with the remote
machine type, ask the remote system administrator to assist you.
Note: TCP/IP administration must be completed
on the remote system before you add the remote machine to the Message
Networking system.

On
the INTUITY AUDIX LX or Avaya IA770 system:
Gather information about the INTUITY AUDIX
LX or Avaya IA770 remote machine that you are adding. You
should obtain the following information:
- Log
into the INTUITY AUDIX LX or Avaya IA770 system.
- From
the Main Menu, select Global Administration.
The Global Administration page displays.
- From
the Global Administration page, click Messaging
Administration.
- Log
in to the system.
- From
the command prompt, type
display machine and
press Enter. The Machine Profile screen
displays.
- From
the Machine Profile screen, Page 1, obtain the following
information:
- The
local machine name from the Machine Name 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.
- Press
F7 to go to the next page.
- From
the Machine Profile screen, Page 2, obtain the following:
- The
IP address from the IP Address field.
- The
system's network password from the Password field.
- Make
sure that the Allow Automatic Full Updates field is set
to y.
- Make
sure that Updates In and Updates Out are set to y.

Obtain
a test mailbox number on the INTUITY AUDIX LX or Avaya IA770
system from the 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 LX or Avaya IA770 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 LX or Avaya IA770 system:

- From
the Main Menu, select Global Administration.
The Global Administration page displays.
- From
the Global Administration page, click Messaging
Administration.
- Log
in to the system.
- From
the command prompt, type
add machine and press
Enter.
- On
the 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 LX or IA770 system 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 Extension Length field, enter the number of digits
that you recorded from the Network Address Length field
on the General Parameters page in Message Networking.

left at the default of 1.
- In
the Prefix column for ADDRESS RANGES, enter prefixes
if appropriate. Generally, you will leave these fields
blank.
