NameNet

network address

An Avaya Octel networking feature supported by Bridge Networking that allows for the propagation of text and voice names among nodes on the analog Octel network. NameNet allows subscribers to address messages to people at other nodes by spelling the recipient name, and to get voice name confirmation when addressing a message to someone on another node.

An Avaya Octel networking term for the numeric address that an Octel subscriber enters as the message destination when addressing a message to an Octel subscriber on a network node. The network address consists of a node prefix that identifies the remote server to which the message is addressed, and additional digits that identify the recipient mailbox on the remote server.

networked	A subscriber who is associated with a Cisco Unity server that is Digitally Networked with the local
subscriber	Cisco Unity server.
networking	In Cisco Unity, “networking” is the general term for messaging between Cisco Unity servers, and
	between Cisco Unity and other voice messaging systems. The term networking has a broad definition
	and encompasses the following ideas:
	Subscribers who are associated with one Cisco Unity server can use the phone to send voice messages
	to subscribers who are associated with another Cisco Unity server; to individuals with access to a
	computer connected to the Internet; and to individuals who use a voice messaging system other than
	Cisco Unity.
	Unidentified callers can find any subscriber in the directory and leave a voice message. Depending on
	the phone system and network configuration, unidentified callers who reach the Cisco Unity automated
	attendant or directory assistance can be transferred to any subscriber phone, even to the phone of a
	subscriber who is not associated with the local server.
	Cisco Unity offers the following networking options: Digital Networking, AMIS Networking, Bridge
	Networking, and VPIM Networking.
node	In Octel analog networking, a node is a voice messaging server on the network that is identified by a
	serial number. A Cisco Unity Bridge server can be configured to represent one or more nodes in the
	Octel network.
	In AMIS Networking, Cisco Unity and the other voice messaging systems that it communicates with
	are called nodes. Each node is assigned a unique ID, referred to as a Node ID.
numbering plan	In Cisco Unity, the method of assigning primary and alternate extension numbers. Typically, the
	Cisco Unity primary extension for a subscriber is the same as the subscriber extension on the phone
	system—the Cisco Unity numbering plan is usually the same as the phone system dial plan. In this way,
	when subscribers call Cisco Unity, log on as a subscriber, and send a message to a subscriber, the
	number that they enter when addressing the message is the same as when they call the subscriber
	directly.
