On
the MM/Exchange using OAN or UM Analog system:
Gather
information about the MM/Exchange or UM Analog system that you are adding.
You should obtain the following information from the MM/Exchange or UM Analog
system administrator:
- Obtain
the system's name.
- Obtain
the Serial # and System Telephone Access #.
- Obtain
the range of extensions (Mailbox IDs).
Note: Exclude address
ranges associated with mailboxes that will never receive
messages, such as automated attendants, bulletin boards,
an so on.
- The
number of digits in the MM/Exchange or UM Analog system dial plan information.
- A specific
mailbox ID on the MM/Exchange or UM Analog system that will receive and
send a test message 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 MM/Exchange or UM Analog 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 MM/Exchange or UM Analog
system. You can obtain this range from the MM/Exchange or UM Analog system
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 remote system 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 MM/Exchange or UM Analog remote machine:
On the
General Parameters page:
- Record
the Octel Analog Serial Number.
- Record
the number of digits in the Network Address Length field.
Also need the Message Networking access telephone number, which you can obtain from the Message Networking system administrator. |

subscribers. For MM/Exchange or UM Analog remote machines, the following
methods of adding subscribers from the remote machine to the
Message Networking system are supported (listed in order of
preference):
