Task 12: Administer Remote Subscribers on the
Local System
During  the initial ad ministration p roc ess, remote sub sc rib ers need  to b e 
ad ministered  on the loc al DEFINITY AUDIX system. Ad ministered  remote 
sub sc rib ers are sub sc ribers you enter into the loc al DEFINITY AUDIX system 
d atab ase. Eac h ad ministered  remote sub sc rib er req uires a name, mac hine 
name, and  an extension. By ad ministering  remote sub sc rib ers, the loc al 
DEFINITY AUDIX system knows where to send  messag es when a loc al 
sub sc rib er rec ord s a messag e and  ad d resses the messag e to a remote 
extension.
For ac c ep tanc e tests, the installer must ad minister two test remote sub sc rib ers 
for eac h remote system. For examp le, if you p lan to network with four remote 
systems named  LA1, LA2, LA3, and  LA4, you need  to ad minister two test 
sub sc rib ers on the loc al system and  on eac h remote system. During ac c ep tanc e 
testing , d escrib ed  later in this task, you add ress voice messag es to each of 
those test sub scrib ers.
DEFINITY AUDIX d igital networking  c annot exc hange messag es with a remote 
sub sc rib er ad ministered  on the loc al system unless that sub sc rib er is also 
ad ministered  on the remote system. For examp le, you ad minister Test Sub sc rib er 
1 (testsub 1) as a remote sub sc rib er. The administrator of the remote system 
ad ministers the same Test Sub sc rib er 1 (testsub 1) as a loc al sub sc rib er. When 
you attemp t to send  a voic e messag e to Test Sub sc rib er 1, the messag e is sent 
suc c essfully. If the remote system ad ministrator d id not ad minister Test 
Sub sc rib er 1 as a loc al sub sc rib er, you c annot send  a messag e to that p erson.
When administering  remote sub sc rib ers, you have the op tion of p erforming  a full 
remote up d ate whic h c op ies the subsc rib er information from a remote system to 
the loc al DEFINITY AUDIX system or add ing  all remote sub sc rib ers on all remote 
systems one b y one using  the ad d  Remote Sub sc rib er sc reen. This task 
describes both procedures. If you are going to add less than the full database of 
sub sc rib ers on the remote system to the loc al system, you ad d the selec ted  
remote sub sc rib ers to the loc al system rather than p erform a remote up d ate.

Task 14: Record Remote Machine Names
(Optional)
Normally, this task is a c ustomer resp onsib ility. After the loc al and  remote 
systems have b een ad ministered, the system ad ministrator may want to rec ord  
the mac hine names. The DEFINITY AUDIX system d oes not req uire you to rec ord  
mac hine names. However, the loc al system voic es these names when loc al 
sub sc rib ers ad d ress messag es to the remote system, or when they rec eive 
messag es from remote sub sc rib ers whose names are not rec ord ed  or who are 
not ad ministered . 
To rec ord  remote mac hine names: 
1. Verify you have announc ement-c ontrol p ermission b y entering change 
subscriber

automatic ally assig ned  as you ad d  a remote mac hine. The List Mac hines 
rep ort shows the voic e ID for eac h remote mac hine.)
4. Either p rint this sc reen, write d own the voic e IDs assoc iated  with eac h 
remote mac hine, or leave this sc reen up  as you rec ord  names. 
NOTE:
Some remote mac hine p rofiles are used  for a rang e of mac hines. 
Either voic e a name that is meaning ful for all mac hines in the range, 
or do not voice a name for these profiles. 
5. From a touc h-tone telep hone, log into the DEFINITY AUDIX system using
