MAS - SA - Procedures for Creating Subscriber Accounts

You create subscriber accounts by enabling Modular Messaging for the following object types in Active Directory Users and Computers:

Mail-enabled user object A user who can receive e-mail in Exchange. See “Procedure 1”, below.

Note: You can also set up an Avaya Modular Messaging subscriber to be a voice-mail-only user. See “Procedure 2”, below.

Contact object An Active Directory object capable of receiving e-mail, such as an Octel Analog Networking user on a remote system. See “Procedure 3”, below.

Group object A group of users. See “Procedure 3”, below.

For more information on Active Directory Users and Computers, see your Microsoft Exchange documentation.

Procedure 1: Enabling Modular Messaging for a Mail-Enabled User

Display the Modular Messaging tab, as described in MAS - SA - Modular Messaging Tab (for Users).

In the Modular Messaging tab, select Enable Modular Messaging. This check box is cleared by default.

Configure all the basic fields in the Modular Messaging tab.

If required, you can change the voice mail domain. See MAS - SA - Modular Messaging - Choose Message Application Server Dialog Box.

If required, you can set up options for a secondary extension. See MAS - SA - Modular Messaging - Extension Number Options Dialog Box.

If required, click the Advanced button in the Modular Messaging tab to configure advanced information for the mailbox, via the Advanced Properties dialog box. See MAS - SA - Modular Messaging - Advanced Properties Dialog Box.

Procedure 2: Creating Voice-Mail-Only Subscriber Accounts

If required, you can set up an Avaya Modular Messaging subscriber to be a voice-mail-only user. To do this, you create the subscriber account as usual and then set up Microsoft Exchange rules or Microsoft Outlook rules to reject all messages except Avaya Modular Messaging messages as they arrive in the mailbox.

Follow “Procedure 1”, above.

Open the Inbox for the voice-mail-only subscriber.

Note: This may require setting up a user profile. See your Microsoft Exchange documentation, for more information.

Set up rules to reject all messages except Avaya Modular Messaging Voice Form messages (message class:IPM.OCTEL.VOICE), as they arrive in the mailbox.

Note: For information on setting up Inbox rules, see your Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook documentation.

Procedure 3: Creating Subscriber Accounts for Contacts & Groups

You can create a subscriber account for a contact or a group by assigning a numeric address to the contact or group object. For more information on contacts and groups, see your Microsoft Exchange documentation.

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, select the container that includes the contact or group object that you want to administer.

From the list on the right side of the window, select the contact or group object.

Right-click and select Properties from the pop-up menu. This launches the Properties dialog box for the selected contact or group object.

Select the Modular Messaging tab. See MAS - SA - Modular Messaging Tab (for Contacts/Groups).

Note: The Choose Message Application Server dialog box is launched automatically, the first time you click on the Modular Messaging tab, for the first subscriber contact or group object you are enabling. You must select the MAS to connect to. See MAS - SA - Modular Messaging - Choose Message Application Server Dialog Box.

In the Numeric address field, enter the number that uniquely identifies the contact or group object in your organization. The default is blank.

You must enter a numeric address, if you want to allow TUI users to send messages to this object.

For guidance on setting up a numeric addressing scheme, see the Avaya Modular Messaging Concepts and Planning Guide.
