Change Existing Interchange to Message Networking

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.
