Configuring the Dialing Plan 
sing etvvork Prefix 
A network prefu: dialing plan uses one number to indicate that the mailbox address 
that follows is a network address. For example, if 9 is the network prefix digit, users 
must press 9 and then the network mailbox address to send network messages. 
You specify a network prefer digit in the dialing plan with the letter I?, followed by 
the number of allowable digits in a network mailbox address (including the pref= 
digit). For example, if 9 is the...

combination allows users to address messages by entering a network prefer digit 
followed by the minimum number of digits required to uniquely identify a remote 
node and mailbox. For example, if node 3 uses 5-digit mailbox numbers and node 4 
uses 4-digit mailbox numbers, the following dialing plan on node 
1 would allow 
addressing to mailboxes on both nodes: 
If the prefures i n the Digits Translation Table matched the node numbers, then a 
user could address a message to...

Configuring the Dialing Plan 
Note that local mailbox numbers can also begin with 7 or 8, but they must have 6 
digits, and the Digits Translation Table must contain prefures that match the local 
mailboxes with the local node number. If the node number in the table matches the 
local node number, the message is sent immediately to the local mailbox (local 
messages sent through a network dialing plan are not queued). Senders do not need 
a Network Class of Service to send local messages, even though the...

Configuring the Dialing Plan 
The user does not enter a network pref= when addressing a message, and the user 
hears the name confirmation of the mailbox owner. 
You can use broadcast mailboxes to achieve this transparency. A message broadcast 
mailbox automatically sends any messages that it receives to the mailboxes in its first 
distribution list. A name broadcast mailbox automatically sends the owner’s 
recorded name to the mailboxes in its distribution list number 9, to be used as the 
recorded...

ote: Broadcast mailboxes put an extra burden on system administrators. 
You must still configure the Digits Translation Table to provide 
the routing required for network messages. In addition, mailbox 
adds, moves and changes must be coordinated across the network, 
and the distribution lists in the broadcast mailboxes must be kept 
current. See Chapter 
9 for information on adding remote mailbox 
addresses to distribution lists.

installed. Mailbox numbers can match Receptionist II extension numbers without 
regard to the extension/mailbox structures of other nodes. 
Example 2: Access Codes and Variable Length 
Suppose one has the network shown below. The Chicago node (Node 2) has four 
digit mailboxes that start with 3, the New York node (Node 4) has six digit 
mailboxes starting with 4 or 5, and the Dallas node (Node 6) has three digit 
mailboxes that start with 5. Optimally, all these mailboxes...

New York, Chicago, and Dallas 
The administrators for the New York, Chicago, and Dallas nodes all decide that 
users on their Centigram servers will address network messages with a prefer digit, a 
node access code, and variable length mailbox numbers. This eases their planning 
and maintenance burden. 
All three sites use 9...
