Configuring an addressing scheme

You configure an addressing scheme by setting up a prefix or multiple prefixes for a remote Octel Analog Networking node. You may need to set up multiple prefixes if mailboxes on the remote Octel Analog Networking node are split between multiple MASs. Setting up multiple prefixes enables you to address Octel Analog Networking messages in different ways to different MASs at the same remote Octel Analog Networking node.

To configure an addressing scheme:

  1. On the Nodes tab, click Addressing.

    2. The system displays the Addressing Scheme Details dialog box.

  2. Click Create.

    3. The system displays the Create Addressing Scheme dialog box.

  3. In the Prefix field, enter a prefix for the remote Octel Analog Networking node.

    4. A prefix is a number used to specify a remote Octel Analog Networking node when addressing messages.

  4. In the Additional digits field, enter the number of digits that the subscriber must enter in addition to the prefix to form a complete Octel Analog Networking address.

    5. As an Octel Analog Networking address consists of the prefix followed by the mailbox number, additional digits are normally the same as the mailbox length (that is, the number of digits in the mailbox number). For example,

    1234 (prefix) + 6002 (mailbox number)
    = 12346002 (Octel Analog Networking address)

    In this example, the additional number of digits is 4, because 4 digits (6002) must be added to the prefix to form an Octel Analog Networking address.

    In some cases, however, the prefix includes some digits of the mailbox number, for example:

    1234 (prefix) + 4002 (mailbox number)
    = 123    4002 (Octel Analog Networking address)

    In this example, enter 3 in Additional Digits (for the digits 002), because the 4 overlaps.

    See the Avaya Modular Messaging Concepts and Planning Guide for more information on Octel Analog Networking addressing schemes.

  5. In the Mailbox Length field, enter the number of digits in mailboxes as configured on the remote system.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Repeat Steps 2 through 6 for each prefix in the addressing scheme.
    Notes:  
    • To delete a prefix, click the prefix that you want to delete from the list and click Delete. The system prompts you to confirm the deletion.
    • To modify a prefix, click the prefix that you want to modify from the list, and click Modify. The system displays the Modify Addressing Scheme Details dialog box. Change the details as necessary, and click OK.
