You also c an manually enter remote sub sc rib er information. Before you 
ad minister your sub sc rib er or remote up d ate information on your loc al system, 
c onsult with the remote system ad ministrators in your network. Eac h remote 
system ad ministrator must d etermine whether to use the remote up d ates feature. 
In ad dition to initially ad ministering subsc rib ers and  d etermining  your remote 
up d ate strateg y, you also need  to c hec k the system for non-ad ministered  verified 
remote subsc rib ers. These are non-administered  remote sub sc rib ers who 
suc c essfully exc hang ed messag es with the loc al DEFINITY AUDIX system. At 
the c omp letion of a suc c essful exc hang e, the loc al system c reates a d atab ase 
entry for the sub sc rib er. You need  to c hec k the List Remote Extensions sc reen 
and  loc ate any non-ad ministered  verified  remote sub sc rib ers. If a loc al 
sub sc rib er reg ularly exc hang es messag es with the remote sub sc rib er, you may 
want to ad d  the p erson to the system as an administered  remote sub sc rib er and  
rec ord  a name for the p erson.
You may want to rec ord  names for the remote sub sc rib ers. The DEFINITY AUDIX 
system d oes not req uire you to rec ord  remote sub sc rib er names, b ut a rec ord ed  
name provid es a friend ly c onfirmation for c allers when they ad d ress messag es to 
remote sub sc rib ers.
Viewing the Remote Subscriber List
The remote sub sc rib er list c an help  you loc ate non-ad ministered  verified  remote 
sub sc rib ers and  evaluate the usag e d ates of remote sub sc rib ers. You should  
reg ularly c hec k the list to loc ate non-ad ministered  verified  remote sub sc rib ers. 
These are remote subscribers who suc cessfully exchanged messages with the 
loc al DEFINITY AUDIX system. At the c omp letion of the suc c essful exc hang e, 
the loc al system c reates a datab ase entry for the sub sc rib er. The List Remote 
Extensions sc reen shows a value of non-administered 
for non-ad ministered 
verified  remote sub sc rib ers. Althoug h there is a rec ord  for the sub sc rib er, the 
name, name rec ord ing , and  other information are not known to the system. 
If a local subscriber regularly exchanges messages with a non-administered 
verified  remote sub sc rib er, ad minister the remote sub sc rib er on your loc al 
system and  rec ord  a name for the sub sc rib er. You c an tell how often messages 
are sent to a sub sc rib er by c hec king  the Usag e Date field  on the List Remote 
Extensions sc reen. The field also c an help  you d etermine if all of the 
ad ministered  remote sub sc rib ers need  to be ad ministered . If the Usag e Date 
field does 
not show a rec ent d ate (you should  d etermine how rec ent suc h as 
weeks or months), then the remote ad ministered  sub sc rib er d oes not exc hang e 
messag es with anyone on the loc al system. You c an remove the sub sc rib er and  
inc rease your d isk sp ac e. You also c an d elete remote subsc rib ers automatic ally.
