Configuring advanced information for a remote Octel Analog Networking node

You can configure advanced information for a remote Octel Analog Networking node. This includes setting limits on Octel Analog Networking connection attempts and usage.

Display the Remote Node Properties dialog box.

In the Remote Node Properties dialog box, click Advanced.

The system displays the Advanced Remote Node Details dialog box.

Configure the following fields:

Allow turnaround Click to allow the remote Octel Analog Networking node to transmit messages back to the Octel Analog Networking gateway during the same call, after the Modular Messaging Octel Analog Networking gateway completes transmitting messages.

If selected, messages from the remote node may reach Avaya Modular Messaging subscribers sooner. However, be aware that the Avaya Modular Messaging site incurs the transmission charges. This check box is cleared by default.

Note: If you are setting up an Octel 200/300 node, ensure that the Allow turnaround check box is cleared.

Accept private messages Select to allow the Octel Analog Networking gateway to accept messages marked as private. This check box is selected by default.

Accept auto-copied messages Select to allow the Octel Analog Networking gateway to accept messages from senders with a reply address that does not match their Octel Analog Networking addressing scheme. This check box is cleared by default.

Play spoken name before playback Select if you want the sender’s spoken name to be played to the recipient before the message content is played. This check box is selected by default.

Maximum outbound call duration Enter the maximum length of time, including turnaround time, that any one Octel Analog Networking session may be open. You may want to limit the duration to control transmission charges. The range is 5 minutes to 12 hours, and the default is 120 minutes.

Note: If the maximum duration limit is reached and there is a message transmission in progress, the session is not dropped. Instead, the gateway completes the message but does not send any additional messages.

Maximum number of outbound sessions Enter the maximum number of simultaneous outbound Octel Analog Networking sessions that can be open between the Octel Analog Networking gateway and the remote Octel Analog Networking node.

An Octel Analog Networking session is defined as a telephone call over which the exchange of voice messages and administrative data (for example, spoken names) take place. The default is the number of ports defined in the Octel Analog Networking Outgoing port group. If no ports have been defined, the default is 1.

Note: This setting applies to outbound Octel Analog Networking sessions only. Any number of inbound sessions may be open simultaneously. Enter the maximum number of concurrent outbound calls allowed.

Maximum number of connection attempts Enter the maximum number of attempts at delivering a message to the remote Octel Analog Networking node before the system returns a non-delivery report to the sender.

A delivery attempt is recorded when a successful connection is made with the remote node, but the message cannot be delivered.

Maximum session queue length Enter a value to determine the number of outbound sessions.

When this value is exceeded, Octel Analog Networking opens a new session, if available. For example, if this value is set to 10, and there are 30 messages in a queue, Octel Analog Networking will open 3 sessions. If there is only one session, this value is ignored. The range is 1 to 99, and the default is 10.

Delay before first DTMF Enter the length of time, in seconds, that the outbound call waits before sending the first DTMF tone after it connects. The range is 1 to 99, and the default is 15.

Click OK.
