MAS - Setting up Addresses for OAN Recipients

Octel Analog Networking recipients with mailboxes on another Octel Analog Networking-compatible voice mail system can be added to the Microsoft Exchange directory in one of the following ways:

By creating an Octel Analog Networking custom recipient in the Exchange directory. See “Procedure 1”.

By modifying an existing directory object, such as a custom recipient or mailbox, to include a Modular Messaging Alternate Voice Mail Address (AVMA). See “Procedure 2”.

For more information on addressing messages to Octel Analog Networking recipients, see the Avaya Modular Messaging Concepts and Planning Guide.

Procedure 1: Setting Up Octel Analog Networking Custom Recipients

Octel Analog Networking custom recipients require a separate Exchange directory entry for their recipient address. This means that they may have two directory entries, one for the e-mail mailbox, and one for the voice mailbox. To distinguish between the two, Avaya recommends that you add to the display name of the custom recipient the words “via voice mail”.

Subscribers can address messages to Octel Analog Networking custom recipients using Dial By Name and receive spoken name confirmation.

On your Windows desktop, click the Start > Programs > Microsoft Exchange > Active Directory Users and Computers menu to launch Active Directory Users and Computers.

In the console tree, right-click Users.

Click New > Contact. The system displays the New Object - Contact dialog box.

Complete the fields in the New Object - Contact dialog box.

Click Next.

Click Modify. 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.

For more information on addressing schemes, see the Avaya Modular Messaging Concepts and Planning Guide.

In the E-mail type field, enter OCTELAN.

Click OK.

Procedure 2: 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.

On your Windows desktop, click the Start > Programs > Microsoft Exchange > Active Directory Users and Computers menu to launch 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 the Properties dialog box for the user.

Click the E-Mail Addresses tab.
