Message Networking features

Message Networking features include:

• Support for a number of remote machine types.

• Transport and protocol conversion that automatically transcodes message formats between all supported networking protocols.
• Message Networking-to-Message Networking and Message Networking-to-Interchange 5.4 configurations to increase network capacities.
• Directory views that allow a subset of names and subscriber remote pages to be downloaded from the Message Networking system to a specific location.
• The ability to set the preferred language for announcements on a remote machine and subscriber basis. See Message Networking language support for more information.
• Support for multiple network configurations, including hub and spoke, bridge, and hybrid. The bridge and hybrid configurations take advantage of Message Networking's bridging feature.
• Variable-length numeric addressing from Modular Messaging systems.
• Dial Plan Mapping, which allows you to map existing mailbox addresses to unique network addresses.
• System log reports, which provide information about how the system is used, including data about features, subscribers, communities, data port loads, and remote messaging traffic, and which record events that are useful for maintaining the system, for diagnosing problems and troubleshooting the system, and for spotting trends or estimating future needs.
• Enterprise Lists are created using a unique virtual mailbox on the Message Networking system to which subscribers can forward multimedia messages. This mailbox has a voice name and ASCII list name that can be administered. Messages can be addressed by list number or list ASCII name. Upon receipt of a list message, the system checks appropriate permissions for use of the list. Once permission has been verified, the Message Network sends the message to all recipients defined in the list. For information on administering Avaya Enterprise Lists, see Elist Administration.
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support that allows you to consolidate of network management of all Interchange network machines using a TCP/IP LAN or WAN. For information on administering SNMP, see SNMP Administration.
• Attended and unattended system backups.
• Call Detail Recording (CDR) that helps manage message networks that use Message Networking by creating a message history file. This history file includes: the status of the message, the source and destination of the message, and the time it entered and left the Message Networking system. This history file can be transferred from the Message Networking system to another system for reporting purposes using the FTP process.
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP) support that allows the Message Networking report exports and subscriber imports.
• LDAP interface support, which allows you to perform queries and system administration and maintenance via an LDAP client.
• Support for two servers, to maximize flexibility.
