Numeric Address Administration

Use this page to administer numeric addresses for a remote machine. A numeric address is an alternate method of addressing messages from Modular Messaging systems to subscribers on remote machines.

Note: You can also administer numeric addresses for individual subscribers by modifying the Numeric Address field on the Subscriber Parameters Administration page.

The numeric address can be left blank, or it can be calculated from one of two other addresses, either the mailbox ID or the network address. The address used to calculate the numeric address is called the base address.

This page contains the following fields.

Remote Machine Name: Select the remote machine for which you want to view or administer numeric address mapping.
Numeric Address Initialization Type: This display-only field indicates the base number used in the numeric address mapping. The base address can be:

• Null: The system leaves the numeric address empty. This is the default setting.

• Mailbox ID: The system uses the mailbox ID for the base address.

• Network Address: The system uses the network address for the base address.

Map From: This field displays the digit string that is compared against the subscribers' base addresses, which is specified in the Numeric Address Initialization Type field. A match occurs when the value in the Map From value is the same as the beginning portion of the base address. When a match occurs, the portion of the base address that matches the Map From digits is stripped, and the Map To field value is prepended to the base address to create the numeric address. Leave this field blank to add the Map To from field digits to every base address.

Map To: This field displays the digits that are prepended to the base address after the digits that match the Map From field are stripped.

The following buttons appear at the bottom of this page:

• Add New Mapping: Click this button to add numeric address mapping for the selected remote machine.
• Change Mapping: Click this button to change the selected numeric address mapping.
• Delete Mapping: Click this button to delete the selected numeric address mapping.
• Apply Mapping: Click this button to apply the mapping changes to the remote machine. When you apply mapping:
  • The system updates all of the existing subscribers on this remote machine
  • The updated numeric addresses are sent to the Modular Messaging and Message Networking systems in the network.

  You do not need to apply the mapping if you have not yet added the subscribers from this remote machine. The mapping is automatically applied to any subscribers subsequently added to the remote machine.
