Cisco Systems 5.x manual Blind Addressing Search for a Delivery Location Dial ID

Chapter 9 Primary Location Settings

Primary Location Addressing Option Settings

If you have changed the minimum number of digits in location dial IDs, Cisco Unity first searches for a matching dial ID according to the minimum that you set. For example, if you reduced the minimum length of a dial ID to one, Cisco Unity begins the search at each scope level by looking for a matching dial ID that matches the first digit entered by the subscriber. (Reducing the minimum dial ID length to one or two is not recommended because of the potential conflict with private distribution list IDs.)

Blind Addressing Search for a Delivery Location Dial ID

If a match has not been found, Cisco Unity continues with the blind addressing search. The number is parsed to find a matching delivery location dial ID. The scope of the blind addressing search is determined by the Blind Addressing: Allowed Locations setting. The search starts on the local Cisco Unity server, and then expands to the dialing domain, and then to the global directory, as applicable.

Assuming that the minimum length for dial IDs is set to the default (three digits), at each scope level Cisco Unity first searches for a delivery location dial ID that matches the first three digits entered by the subscriber. Cisco Unity continues the search by looking for a delivery location with a dial ID that matches the first four digits entered by the subscriber. The search for a matching location continues in this manner. If the match is on an AMIS or VPIM delivery location, the matched location is returned for confirmation.

Figure 9-1illustrates the search that Cisco Unity performs when the subscriber search and blind addressing search (if enabled) are set to the global directory, and the Include Locations in Searches setting is disabled.
