AT&T 2.1.1 Fax Account Code List Administration, Subscriber Administration, Extension Directory

Feature and Planning Review

Fax Account Code List Administration

Account code list administration is an optional convenience feature that allows you to define a list of up to 30 account codes and assign it to the F2 (CHOICES) key to simplify data entry for subscribers. This feature is only of value if you have account codes that are used by more than one subscriber. Pressing the F2 (CHOICES) key when entering the Account Code field for subscribers will display the list so that a choice can be made instead of typing the account code. Enter the list of account codes on FORM FF2 (located on the back of FORM FF1) in the AT&T AUDIX Voice PowerTM/FAX Attendant SystemTM Planning and Implementation document.

Subscriber Administration

The Integrated Solution III environment provides integrated administration. This means that data for both the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System and for the AUDIX Voice Power and FAX Attendant applications systems is entered only once and routed and copied where it is needed.

Extension Directory

Both the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System and the AUDIX Voice Power/FAX Attendant system maintain databases.

The switch database contains information relating the MERLIN LEGEND hardware port addresses to the extension numbers and adjuncts, features provided to extension numbers (such as Call Restrictions, Labels), features provided on the extension station sets, coverage paths, calling groups, etc.

The AUDIX Voice Power/FAX Attendant database contains information about the services provided to each subscriber (extension) such as: switch call coverage, private fax extension, autoprinting on/off, etc.

The Integrated Solution III environment allows integrated administration as follows:

1.A portion of the switch database for extensions and adjuncts (the Extension Directory) is downloaded from the switch to the AUDIX Voice Power/FAX Attendant database. The Extension Directory contains the System Numbering Plan information already administered for the switch.

2.Changes are made in the AUDIX Voice Power/FAX Attendant database when the System Manager enters data.

3.When the changes made in the AUDIX Voice Power/FAX Attendant database will affect how the switch operates, they are uploaded to the switch as programming requests. This programming is done automatically, as the database changes are made, and is reported to the person making the changes.

4.The System Numbering Plan and the Extension Directory are synchronized daily by downloading the switch database automatically.
