NOTE

If systems in the network are not all R1V7 and the network turnaround feature is enabled, calls may be dropped after steps 1 through 4 have been completed.

∙send to non-administered recipients (y/n)?

The default value is y. If this field is y, when a subscriber addresses a message to a remote extension that does not map to a remote subscriber known by the local AUDIX system, the local AUDIX system will add this potential subscriber to its data base and then send the message to every remote system in the network for which the subscriber address is valid.

The AUDIX system does this in case a new subscriber has been added somewhere in the network and this remote system has not been made aware of it either through administrator communication or through remote updates. If the subscriber is found on a remote AUDIX machine, the local AUDIX system will deliver this message to the valid remote machine(s) and validate this new subscriber. If a valid remote subscriber cannot be found, the subscriber record will be deleted eventually by one of the system audits and the AUDIX system will change the status of the message from ‘‘undelivered’’ to ‘‘undeliverable’’ in the message sender’s voice mailbox.

NOTE

Any address should not map to more than one valid subscriber in the network. However, the AUDIX software does not enforce this, so it is possible for a message to be sent to more than one subscriber if an address is duplicated.

If this field is n, when a subscriber addresses a message to a remote extension or name that does not map to a remote subscriber known by the local AUDIX system, the local AUDIX system will not send the message. The subscriber who is attempting to address the message will be notified that the extension is invalid.

If the network administrators keep open lines of communication (or there is just one administrator for the entire network), chances are good that each system will be kept up-to-date. Therefore, the customer would want an n entered here so the local AUDIX system is not burdened with finding a subscriber that probably does not exist in the first place. (What usually has happened is that a user has misdialed.)

NOTE

Permitting subscribers to send messages to non-administered recipients may have a significant impact on the network. It may cause unnecessary calls to other systems and load up the local subscriber data base with unneeded records.

Saving Remote System Data

When you are finished entering the data, press CHANGE or RUN . Any changes or additions to this form are put to use immediately unless the system is running R1V3 or R1V4 software; in this case, run a network data audit (see the maintenance : audits : fp form).

Exit the form and re-enter it to verify that the changes were accepted. Notice that the password is no longer displayed.
