Use this procedure to modify an entry in the Nenvork Node Table. When prompted 
for a new value, you can press Enter to retain the current settings of any parameter. 
Step 
1. Reach the Network Node Access Table Maintenance menu. 
2. Identify the node that you want to modify. 
Select: (M) Modify a node entry 
Prompt: 
Node number: 
Response: The number of the node entry you want to modify. This number can 
be from 
1 to...

8. Specify whether the node can be accessed by local node. 
Prompt: 
Access (Y/N): 
Response: Y for almost all remote nodes. 
N for the local node, and any remote nodes that you do not want 
accessed from the local node. 
9. If you have installed the Parallel Links optional feature, set the length of time that 
the existing connection or connections must be open before a parallel connection is 
established.

When a user addresses a message, the VoiceMemo software must be able to identify 
the address as either a local mailbox or a remote mailbox. If it is a remote mailbox, 
the VoiceMemo software must be able to identify the correct remote node and the 
correct mailbox on that node. 
The Dialing Plan identifies the message address as either a local mailbox or a remote 
mailbox. The Digits Translation Table determines the correct node of the remote 
mailbox and how to derive the mailbox number from the...

Configuring the Dialing Plan 
You MESA-Net network will be much easier to maintain and expand if you carefully 
plan you network addressing in advance. You must consider any existing switch 
extension numbering and VoiceMemo dialing plans, and then create dialing plans on 
all nodes that allow easy access to all other nodes. 
Use the Planning Network Addressing Worksheet to gather the information that you 
need to create a network addressing scheme that meets your present and future 
needs. Study the...

Configuring the Dialing Plan 
Mailboxes Start with: Circle the numbers that are used at the node as the first digit 
in user mailboxes. For example, if mailboxes at a node are in the 3000 and 4000 
range, circle 3 and 4. 
Length of Mailbox Numbers: For each number that you circled, write in the 
number of digits in mailboxes that start with that number. If mailboxes have 
variable lengths, write V. 
The Digits Translation Table is the “sorting machine” or “routing table” for network 
messages. When a...

Configuring the Dialing Plan 
Example: 
The San Jose node has the following dialing plan: 
4,Nh,N4,N4,4,4,4,4,4 
This means that the remote mailbox numbers that San Jose can access begin with 2, 
3, or 4, and consist of four digits. 
The Chicago node (Node 2) uses mailbox numbers 2000 to 2999, and 3000 to 3250 
The New York node (Node 4) uses mailbox numbers 3260 to 3999, and 4000 to 
4499 
The Dallas node (Node 6) uses mailboxes 4500 to 4999 
G-4  

Configuring the Dialing Plan 
Because none of the nodes have overlapping mailbox numbers, the digits to absorb 
count is 0 for all prefures. The San Jose Digits Translation Table would look like 
this:

and 9, but users on the San Jose system cannot send messages to these mailboxes 
through MESA-Net. The digits to absorb feature can be used to add flexibility to 
the dialing plan. 
igits To Absorb 
You assign a Digits To Absorb number to each prefer in the Digits Translation 
Table. The number of digits can be from 0 to 10. After MESA-Net matches the 
destination mailbox number to a prefer, it attaches the corresponding Digits To 
Absorb count to the message. The remote...

avoided, since’the “real” mailbox number (the local mailbox number on the remote 
node) is obtained after the message is sent. 
bsorb Feature to Create Same- 
If you want users to always enter the same number of digits for all network addresses, 
you can use the Node Prefures and the Digits to Absorb feature in the Digits 
Translation Table to “pad out” the mailbox numbers for nodes that use shorter 
extensions. For example, if node 2 uses 3-digit extensions and node 6 uses...
