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 “ c ountry”  
c od e c an have a maximum of four d ig its, the “ area/trunk”  c od e a 
maximum of seven, and  the “ loc al numb er”  a maximum of 15. 
However, the 
complete c allbac k numb er (c ountry c od e, area/trunk 
c od e, and loc al numb er) 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 be 
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 pub lic  network, enter a 1
 for the c ountry c od e. (For 
Rolm systems, this field  may need  to b e left b lank.) 
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. 
nIn AUDIX R1V7 7:2 or later software, enter a c ountry c od e of 
0
 to allow the AUDIX system to work in a mixed-vend or 
environment over a p rivate network. This c od e may b e used  
for mixed -vendor, p rivate networks in any c ountry. (In AUDIX 
R1V6 or R1V7 7:1 software, a c ountry c od e of “ 0”  is not 
allowed .) 
In AUDIX R1V8 software, up to five c allbac k numb ers may b e 
d efined . This allows d ifferent nod es 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 AMIS 
c allb ac k numb ers to b e ad ministered  in a p artic ular way. The 
list:machine
 form shows whic h c allb ac k numb er is assoc iated 
with 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 R1V8 software, the existing  
c allb ac k numb er will be p lac ed  in the d efault selec tion “ 1” . If an 
ad d itional c allb ac k number is d efined  on this form and  then 
d eleted , the AMIS c allb ac k no. field  on the 
system:translation:machine:audix/amis/call 
delivery
 form 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 pear in the ad ministration log  whenever c allb ac k 
numb ers are deleted  or c hang ed  (refer to Chap ter 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. 
NOTE:
If you c annot set this field  to “ y” , the AMIS Analog Networking  
feature has 
not b een ac tivated  b y Luc ent Tec hnolog ies 
p ersonnel. Contac t your Luc ent Tec hnolog ies rep resentative. 
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. 
NOTE:
If you c annot set this field  to “ y” , the AMIS Analog Networking  
feature may not have b een ac tivated  b y Luc ent Tec hnolog ies 
p ersonnel (c hec k with your Luc ent Tec hnolog ies 
rep resentative). Beg inning  in R1V8, a c allb ac k numb er is also 
req uired  b efore this field c an b e set to “ y” . 
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 system:

e.AMIS p rotoc ol—use 8 minutes for inc oming  msg  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 (sec ond s) field  on the system:limits
 
form; 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 2, enter the 
extension for the test mailb ox in this field . 
3. If you have c hang ed  any d ata in the field s, p ress   or   (F1). 
To ac tivate the c hang es, you need  to restart the system (d one in Task 7).

Task 4: Administer Outcalling Periods
The AMIS Analog  Networking  and  Messag e Delivery features use the outc alling

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.
