Configuring advanced information for remote Octel Analog Networking nodes

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

To configure advanced information for a remote Octel Analog Networking node

  1. On the Nodes tab, click Advanced.
  2. The system displays the Advanced Node Details dialog box.

  3. To allow the remote Octel Analog Networking node to transmit messages back to the Octel Analog Networking gateway during the same call after the Octel Analog Networking gateway completes transmitting messages, select Allow turnaround.
  4. 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.
  5. In the Maximum connection attempts field, enter the number of attempts at delivering a message to the remote Octel Analog Networking node before a non-delivery report is returned to the sender.
  6. A delivery attempt is recorded when a successful connection is made with the remote node, but the message cannot be delivered.

    For information on the Hours before returning a non-delivery report setting, see Configuring Octel Analog Networking gateway properties.

  7. In the Maximum number of sessions field, 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.
  8. 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. This setting applies to outbound Octel Analog Networking sessions only. Any number of inbound sessions may be open simultaneously.

  9. In the Maximum duration (minutes) field, enter the maximum length of time, including turnaround time, that any one Octel Analog Networking session may be open.
  10. You may want to limit the duration to control transmission charges.

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