Use this page to convert an Interchange 5.4 remote machine to a
Message Networking remote machine type. This conversion is required
when an Interchange system administered as a remote machine is migrated
to Message Networking Release 2.0.
This page contains the following fields.
Remote Machine Name: Select
the Interchange remote machine that has been migrated to Message
Networking. The system then populates the fields with information
from the existing remote machine. All fields are populated except
the Domain Name, Outgoing MTA, and LDAP Password fields.
Machine Type: This field is set
to Avaya Message Networking.
IP address: This field is populated
with the IP address of the machine, up to 15 characters (for example,
192.43.235.1). This field is optional because the system uses the
domain name to recognize the sending machine.
Mailbox ID Length: This field
is populated with the number of digits in mailbox IDs on the remote
machine, up to 10 digits.
Note: It is recommended that you do not change
the Mailbox ID Length after initial administration as this can cause
remote machine update failures.
Default Language: This field
is populated with the default language on the remote machine. If
more than one language is installed on the system, select the language
from the drop-down menu. The default for this field is en-US (US
English).
If you change the Default Language after initial remote machine
administration, subscribers that you subsequently add to the remote
machine are assigned the new Default Language as their default Language
ID. However, the Language IDs of existing subscribers on the remote
machine do not change.
Failed Msg. Notification Priority?:
Indicates whether to mark failed message notifications with priority
status. Select yes to mark failed message notifications with
priority status. Select no if you do not want to mark failed
message notifications with priority status. The default for this
field is no.
Msg ID?: Specifies whether to include
the original message ID in failed message notifications. Select
yes to include the original message ID. Select no
if you do not want to include the original message ID in failed
message notifications. The default for this field is no.
Send Message for EAW?: Specifies whether
the original message is sent back to a subscriber after that
subscriber has sent a message from this machine to an Aria machine
that has the Extended Absence Greeting (EAG) warning activated.
This message return is in addition to the message indicating the
actual EAG warning condition. Select yes to return the original
message. Select no if you do not want to return the original
message. The default for this field is no.
Default NameNet Type: Specifies the
default NameNet type, set up on the remote machine, that is used
for aging purposes by the remote machine. Type p if directory
entries are permanent. Type u if entries are usage-based,
which indicates that directory entries are temporarily available
based on the network traffic of a particular remote machine. The
default for this field is u.
Organization: Use this field
to provide a description of the organization using Message Networking,
up to 64 characters. This field is optional and for informational
purposes only.
Organization Unit: Use this field
to provide a description of the organization unit using Message
Networking, up to 64 characters. This field is optional and for
informational purposes only.
Node ID: Unique node ID for this remote
machine. This field is display-only and cannot be modified.
Comments: You can optionally type
any comments about this remote machine, up to 68 alphanumeric characters.
This field is optional and for informational purposes only.
Subscriber Updates Type: Specifies
the type of remote subscriber updates to be sent to this remote
machine:
- directory-view: Select directory-view to
specify that updates should be sent to the remote machine only
for the network address ranges defined in the remote machine's
Directory View.
- dynamic: Select dynamic to specify that
the remote machine should receive updates for subscribers that
exchange messages with this remote machine.
- full: Select full if you want full updates
sent for all remote machines on the Message Networking system
to this remote machine. If you select full, verify that the remote
machine has enough space for information on all subscribers from
all remote machines connected to the Message Networking system.
The default for this field is dynamic. To receive
no updates, select directory-view, make sure
no views are defined for this remote machine, and then set the Updates:
Out? field to n.
Default Community ID: Specifies the
community identifier for all subscribers added to this remote machine.
Type an integer from 1 through 15.
Voiced Names for Dynamic?: If the
Subscriber Updates Type is set to dynamic, this field specifies
whether to include the subscriber's voiced name in the update. You
cannot modify this field until a new remote machine is saved .Select
yes to include the voiced name. Select no if you do
not want to include the voiced name. The default for this field
is yes.
Dynamic Sub Expiration Days: This
field is populated with the number of days a dynamically-added subscriber
can exist without performing any activity (without sending or receiving
messages). This number must match the number of aging days administered
on the remote machine. The default for this field is 90. The minimum
for this field is 1. The maximum for this field is 999.
Use DNS?: Indicates whether DNS option
is being used. Select yes to use DNS. Select no to
not use DNS. It is strongly recommended that you use DNS. The default
for this field is no.
If you select yes:
- You must administer the DNS servers on the General
Parameters page.
- The primary DNS IP address specified on the General Parameters
page is used to resolve the IP address for the remote machine.
If you retain the default of no:
- Do not administer the DNS servers on the General
Parameters page.
- The outgoing MTA for this remote machine must be an IP address,
unless you edit the /etc/hosts file to administer
host names. If you do not specify an outgoing MTA, then the
incoming domain name must be an IP address.
Port: This field is populated with the
number of the port being used by the machine. The default for this
field is 25, the standard SMTP port number, which will be used by
most systems. If you want to use another port number, specify
a number from 1000 to 65000. Some of the numbers within the range
might be unusable.
Domain Name: Type the domain name
of the email address that corresponds to this machine. This field
can be a fully qualified domain name (such as system.location.company.com)
or just a domain (such as company.com). Every email address with
a domain that matches the one you define in this field is considered
a subscriber of this machine. The domain name you enter in this
field must match the entry in the LDAP Server field on this page.
Outgoing MTA: Type the IP address
or the machine name and domain name of the remote Message Networking
machine. Every message whose destination is a subscriber of this
SMTP/MIME machine is routed through this MTA. This field is required
for Message Networking remote machines.
Preferred Encoding Type: Specifies
the encoding type in which voice messages are transcoded when coming
from a non-SMTP end node. Select GSM 6.10, GSM 7.11 u-law, or GSM
7.11 A-law.
Updates In: Specifies whether the Message
Networking system can receive updated user database information
from this remote machine. Select yes if this Message Networking
system accepts updated user information from this remote machine.
Select no if this Message Networking system does not accept
updated user information from this remote machine. The default for
this field is no.
Updates Out: Specifies whether Message
Networking is able to send user information updates to this remote
machine. Select yes if this Message Networking system sends
user information updates to remote machines. Select no if
this Message Networking system does not send user information updates
to remote machines. The default for this field is no.
LDAP server: This field is populated
with the name of the LDAP server to be used for directory updates.
The name you enter in this field must match the entry in the Domain
Name field on this page.
LDAP Password: Type the LDAP
Password of the remote Message Networking machine. An LDAP Password
is required for both the local Message Networking system and the
remote machine to secure the connection when performing LDAP queries.
If you do not have the LDAP password of the remote Message Networking
system, contact the administrator of the remote system.
Note: The LDAP
Password for the local Message Networking system is entered
on the General Parameters page.
LDAP Port: This field is populated
with the number of the port on the remote machine to which Message
Networking connects for LDAP updates.
Click Save to convert the Interchange remote machine to
a Message Networking remote machine and display the remote
machine page for the new Message Networking remote machine,
which you must complete.
