Setting up Modular Messaging AVMA addresses

Modular Messaging Alternate Voice Mail Addressing (AVMA) addressing eliminates the need to have two Exchange directory entries for a single user, one for the subscriber’s e-mail mailbox and the second for that subscriber’s voice mailbox, when addressing messages to Octel Analog Networking recipients from the telephone. You can use AVMA addressing for Exchange users who do not have Avaya Modular Messaging, and for users of other e-mail systems, such as cc: mail, who are mail-enabled.

Start Active Directory Users and Computers.

In the console tree, click Users.

In the right pane, double-click the user for which you want to create an AVMA address.

The system displays properties for the user.

Click the E-Mail address tab.

Click New.

The system displays the New E-mail Address dialog box.

From the list of address types, click Custom address.

Click OK.

The system displays the Other Address Properties dialog box.

In the E-mail address field, enter the recipient’s Octel Analog Networking address.

The address includes both the prefix and mailbox number, without a separator. The address must conform to addressing scheme rules. See the Avaya Modular Messaging Concepts and Planning Guide for more information on addressing schemes.

In the E-mail type field, type UMAVA.

Click OK or Apply.
