Extension field contains an H for a blind transfer or starts with a @, %E

tension number. If you use %V, the Variable field in the notification

If you are using the JOVE utility, the integration timeout precedes each integra-
tion string as follows. This example is only for 4-digit station plans. The example 
uses 10 as the setting for the Integration First Digit Timeout spin box. (10 equals 
10 tenths of seconds or a total of 1 second, causing Amanda to timeout after 1 
second if the packet has not been received). 10 is used because it is the default for 
serial integration.

Configuring Types of Lines
Most people connect Amanda to standard analog lines known as loop start lines that 
indicate a new call by sending an AC voltage to the telephone ringer. 
You can also connect Amanda to Direct Inward Dialing (DID) lines with an appropriate 
DID interface unit. Amanda assumes that you have a DID interface unit, such as Exacom 
DID-200 Series, that processes a hookflash as battery reversal.
When you use DID, Amanda receives the last few digits of the...

Sharing Amanda
Sometimes more than one company or department share an Amanda system. Specific 
ports are assigned to specific groups. For example, on a two-port system shared by two 
companies, one company receives calls on port 1 and another on port 2. This affects the 
configuration parameters that determine which mailbox is used for:
 The company or initial greeting that...
