MAS - OAN - Remote Node Properties Dialog Box

Use the Remote Node Properties dialog box to configure a remote Octel Analog Networking node.

Name Enter the name you want to identify the remote Octel Analog Networking node.

Serial Number Enter the unique serial number for the remote Octel Analog Networking node.

Delivery Rule Select the delivery rule to be used for sending messages from this node.

This is set up via the OAN Gateway Properties dialog, Delivery Rules tab. See MAS - OAN Gateway Properties - Delivery Rules Tab.

Allow messages to be sent to this remote node Select to enable your local Octel Analog Networking node to send messages to this remote Octel Analog Networking node. This check box is cleared by default.

Allow messages to be received from this remote node Select to enable your local node to receive messages from this remote Octel Analog Networking node. This check box is cleared by default.

Access phone numbers Displays a list of access telephone numbers. These are the numbers that the MAS must dial to send messages to the remote Octel Analog Networking node. You should create multiple access numbers for each remote node in case of connection failures.

The first number in the list is the first one that the sending server dials when trying to establish a connection. If the connection fails, it tries the second number, and so on. If connection attempts continue to fail, the system sends a non-delivery report after the time specified in Hours before returning a non-delivery report, on the OAN Gateway Properties dialog, Local Nodes tab. See MAS - OAN Gateway Properties - Local Node Tab.

Adds a line to the Access phone numbers list. You must then set the Dialing String and Number.

Note: You can click on an existing access phone number in the list to edit it in the Dialing String and Number fields.

Deletes the item selected in the Access phone numbers list. The system prompts you to confirm the deletion.

Dialing String Select the dialing string you require from the pick list. The dialing string is the code required by the PBX to access a remote Octel Analog Networking node.

Dialing strings are set up via the OAN Gateway Properties dialog, Dialing Strings tab. See MAS - OAN Gateway Properties - Dialing Strings Tab.

Number Enter the telephone number for calling the remote Octel Analog Networking node.

Keep in mind that the first number you set up is the first number that the MAS dials when trying to connect to the node. If you are configuring an Intuity Interchange node, enter the telephone number of the Intuity Interchange hub.

Note: Do not use dashes (–) to separate digits.

Addressing schemes Displays a list of addressing schemes.

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 to different servers at the same site.

Adds a line to the Addressing schemes list, then launches the Addressing Schemes dialog box. You can configure the Prefix, Additional Digits and Mailbox length. See MAS - OAN - Addressing Scheme Dialog Box.

Note: Double-clicking on an existing scheme in the Addressing schemes list also launches the Addressing Schemes dialog box. You can then edit the scheme.

Deletes the scheme selected in the Addressing schemes list. The system prompts you to confirm the deletion.

Prefix Displays the prefix for the remote Octel Analog Networking node. A prefix is a number used to specify a remote Octel Analog Networking node when addressing messages.

Additional Digits Displays the number of digits that the subscriber must enter in addition to the prefix to form a complete Octel Analog Networking address.

An Octel Analog Networking address consists of the prefix followed by the mailbox number. Additional digits are normally the same as the Mailbox Length.

Mailbox Length Displays the number of digits in mailboxes as configured on the remote system.

Advanced Launches the Advanced Remote Node Details dialog box. You can configure advanced information for a remote Octel Analog Networking node. This includes setting limits on Octel Analog Networking connection attempts and usage. See MAS - OAN - Advanced Remote Node Properties Dialog Box.
