DEFINITY AUDIX Administration
This c hapter d esc rib es how to imp lement the AMIS Analog  Networking  and /or 
Messag e Delivery features on a DEFINITY AUDIX R1.0 or later system. 
Information is organized as follows: 
nImp lementation and testing  
nOngoing administration 
NOTE:
To ad minister AMIS analog  networking  on an AUDIX R1 system, refer to 
Chap ter 3, AUDIX Ad ministration. To ad minister AMIS analog  networking  
on an Intuity system, refer to Chap ter 5, Intuity System AMIS 
Ad ministration
.
Planning  is the essential first step  in imp lementing  the AMIS Analog  Networking  
and /or Messag e Delivery features. Review Chap ter 2, Planning  and Desig n, 
b efore starting  the step s in this sec tion. Network ad ministration should  not beg in 
until the loc al system is running  smoothly and  the ad ministrator has had some 
exp erienc e ad ministering  it. 
!WARNING:
In ord er to minimize exp osure to unauthorized  long  d istanc e c alls, the AMIS 
Analog  Networking  and  Messag e Delivery features should  b e restric ted  to 
send ing  messag es to telep hone numb ers loc ated  in spec ific  c alling  areas 
or to sp ec ific  d estinations need ed  to c ond uc t b usiness. Ad d itionally, the 
ad ministrator may use the Messag e Send ing Restric tions feature to 
ad minister whic h sub sc rib ers c an send  AMIS analog  networking  and  
messag e d elivery messag es, and  to whic h loc ations they c an send  
messag es.

2. Go throug h the following  sc reen fields b y p ressing  the   or arrow keys, 
and  c hang e any fields need ed to imp lement the AMIS Analog  Networking  
or Messag e Delivery features: 
a. CALLBACK NUMBERS (or CALLBACK NUMBER p rior to R3.0) 
Enter the c omp lete telep hone numb er need ed  for the remote 
mac hine to c all the loc al system. The Loc al Numb er is the hunt 
g roup number assig ned  to the analog voic e p orts. 
The Country Code c an have a maximum of four dig its, the 
Area/Trunk Numb er a maximum of seven, and  the Loc al Numb er a 
maximum of 15. However, the 
complete callbac k number (c ountry 
c od e, area/trunk number, and  loc al number) c annot exc eed  15 
d ig its. A c ountry c od e and  an area/trunk numb er are always 
rec ommend ed and  may b e req uired . 
Some examp les of c ountry c od es are: 
nIf the loc al system is in the United  States or Canad a and  
uses the public network, enter a 1
 for the c ountry c od e. 
nIf you are in another c ountry, enter the ap p rop riate c ountry 
c od e (suc h as 44
 for the United  King d om). Country c odes 
should  b e listed  in your loc al phone b ook. 
nOn DEFINITY AUDIX R2.0 or later systems, you may enter a 
country code of 0
 to allow a DEFINITY AUDIX system to work 
in a mixed -vend or environment over a private network; this 
c od e may b e used  for p rivate networks in any c ountry. (A 
c ountry c od e of “ 0”  is not allowed  on DEFINITY AUDIX R1.0 
systems.) 
On DEFINITY AUDIX R3.0 and  later systems, up  to five c allbac k 
numbers may be defined. This allows different nodes to use 
d ifferent telep hone numb ers to c all the same AMIS mac hine. For 
examp le, an AMIS analog  network may inc lud e some nod es 
ac c essed  over the p ub lic  network, and  other nod es ac c essed  over 
a p rivate network. Vend ors other than Luc ent Tec hnolog ies may 
also req uire the AMIS c allb ac k numb ers to b e ad ministered  in a 
p artic ular way. For c onvenienc e, c allb ac k numbers that are 
ad ministered  on this sc reen are also listed  on Pag e 2 of the 
Mac hine sc reen, so you c an easily selec t the ap p rop riate c allb ac k 
numb er you wish to use for eac h remote AMIS mac hine. 
The d efault c allb ac k number is “ 1” . If a system with a sing le 
c allb ac k numb er is up g rad ed  to run R3.0 or later software, the 
existing  c allb ac k number will b e p lac ed  in the d efault selec tion “ 1” . 
If an ad d itional c allbac k numb er is d efined  on this sc reen and  then 
d eleted , the Callb ac k Numb er field  on the Mac hine sc reen for any 
remote nod e that used  that numb er will automatic ally b e c hang ed 
to show the d efault c allb ac k numb er “ 1” . An entry will ap p ear in the 
ad ministration log  whenever c allbac k numb ers are d eleted  or 
changed (refer to Ap p end ix A, Ad ministration Log  Entries, for a 
c omp lete list of AMIS ad ministration c odes).

b . AMIS Analog  Networking  Inc oming  Allowed ? 
This field  app lies only to AMIS analog  networking . 
Set this field to “ y”  if you want the loc al system to ac c ep t inc oming  
AMIS analog  c alls. Set this field  to “ n”  if you want the loc al system 
to refuse inc oming  AMIS c alls. 
c . AMIS Analog  Networking  Outg oing  Allowed ? 
This field applies to 
both AMIS analog  networking  and  messag e 
delivery. 
Set this field  to “ y”  if you want the loc al system sub sc rib ers to send  
AMIS analog  networking  and /or messag e d elivery messag es. Set 
this field  to “ n”  if you want to p revent sub sc rib ers from send ing  
AMIS analog  networking  and /or messag e d elivery messag es. 
d . AMIS Prefix 
This field  app lies only to AMIS analog  networking . 
You may enter an AMIS p refix to id entify an ad d ress as an AMIS 
analog ad d ress. If the add ress rang es d efined  for AMIS one- or 
two-step  add ressing  d o not overlap  with any p reviously d efined  
ad d ress rang es, it is not nec essary to d efine an AMIS p refix. 
However, if any AMIS or messag e d elivery ad d ress rang es overlap , 
you may need  to administer an AMIS p refix to make the AMIS 
ad d resses uniq ue. 
NOTE:
If an AMIS prefix is d efined , sub sc rib ers must d ial the AMIS 
p refix when add ressing  AMIS analog  messag es. The AMIS 
prefix 
must p rec ed e any other d igits in the ad d ress p refix(es) 
that sub sc rib ers d ial; these are sp ec ified  on the Mac hine 
sc reen.

e.AMIS Protoc ol—Use 8 Minutes For Inc oming  Messag e Leng th 0? 
This field  app lies only to AMIS analog  networking . 
Some non-Luc ent Tec hnolog ies remote voic e mail systems c annot 
sp ec ify the messag e leng th and  use a zero (0) in the protoc ol. This 
field  enab les the loc al system to rec ord  these inc oming  messages 
as follows: 
nEn t e r  y
 for the loc al system to assume an inc oming  messag e 
of unknown leng th is 8 minutes long  (the maximum leng th 
allowed  b y the AMIS p rotoc ol sp ec ific ation). 
nEn t e r  n
 if you d o not want the loc al system to assume an 
inc oming  messag e of unknown leng th is 8 minutes long . In 
this case, the system uses the number in the Message 
Leng ths, Maximum field on the System-Parameters Limits 
sc reen; AMIS messag es long er than this system limit will not 
be accepted. 
In either c ase, if an inc oming  messag e’s assumed  length is long er 
than the spac e c urrently availab le in a sub sc rib er’s mailb ox, 
d elivery of the messag e will b e aborted . 
f. AMIS Loop b ac k Test Mailb ox Extension 
This field  app lies only to AMIS analog  networking . 
If you ad ministered  an AMIS loop b ac k mailb ox in Task 3, enter the 
extension for the test mailb ox in this field . 
3. Press   (F3) to save any c hang es and  exit the sc reen. 
4. You need  to reb oot the system or run an aud it to ac tivate these c hang es 
(done in Task 8). 
Task 5: Administer Outcalling Periods
The AMIS Analog  Networking  and  Messag e Delivery features use the outc alling  
p orts to d eliver messag es. Althoug h outcalling  p eriod s must b e ad ministered , 
the Outc alling  feature itself d oes 
not need  to be ac tive for AMIS analog 
networking  or messag e d elivery to work. 
NOTE:
For more effic ient use of system resourc es, the system ad ministrator may 
wish to limit the times of d ay for send ing  AMIS analog networking  or 
messag e d elivery messag es to those whic h are known to b e less busy. 
To administer outc alling  p arameters for AMIS analog networking  or message
