NOTE:
From a station on the switc h, you c an c all the numb er req uired  to reac h the 
remote system (either extension or hunt g roup  numb er). This is the numb er 
in the Dial String field . For DCP Mod e 2, this is the numb er in the Dial String  
after ATDT and  b efore the “ W” . If the c onnec tion is working , you should  
hear d ata tone.

 for the AUDIX R1 system.
Loc ation Enter remote
Voic ed  Name? The system sets this field  to y when a user with announc ement 
p ermission rec ords a name for the remote system.
Extension Leng th Enter the leng th of extensions on the remote system.
Voic e ID Disp lay-only field
Default Community Enter the d efault c ommunity numb er to b e used  for the send ing  
restric tions feature.
Prefix Enter the p refix d ig its. A sub sc rib er enters the p refix b efore the 
remote subsc riber’s extension when ad d ressing  voic e messag es. 
To make the task simp le for the sub sc rib er, use a short, 
d esc rip tive p refix. The total leng th of the p refix and  extensions 
must b e <  25 c harac ters. The prefix is used  only b y the DEFINITY 
AUDIX system to id entify sub sc rib ers. It is not used  for d ialing  out, 
so it d oes not need  to matc h an area/offic e c od e.
The figure on the p revious p ag e shows three rang es assig ned  to 
id entify sub sc rib ers at a remote system.
nThe first rang e does not use a p refix. The p refix is only 
req uired  when one or more of the remote subsc rib ers share 
the same extension numb ers as the loc al sub sc rib ers. The 
DEFINITY AUDIX system uses the prefix to d isting uish 
b etween loc al and  remote subsc rib ers in this c ase.
nThe sec ond  rang e uses the p ub lic  network ac c ess c od e as 
the p refix. When ad d ressing  a messag e to a remote 
sub sc rib er, the loc al sub sc rib er enters the remote 
sub sc rib ers numb er as if p lac ing a c all to that sub sc riber. 
This may b e the easiest method  in some instanc es.
nThe third  rang e uses a loc ation c od e as the p refix. This 
method  simp lifies ad d ressing  messag es b y req uiring  only an 
alp hanumeric  c od e in front of the extension numb er. Loc ation 
codes, besides being shorter in length, are often more friendly 
to the user.
