Learning about AMIS

Introduction

Audio Messaging Interchange Specification (AMIS) is a telecommunication solution to networking remote voice mail systems. AMIS provides communication to remote sites on a network. This chapter describes the task s involved in setting up your company on an AMIS network and your role as System Administrator.

This chapter describes:

• How AMIS works

• About AMIS default feature settings

• Sending Network Messages

• Who can use AMIS

• Setting up AMIS

• Your role as System Administrator

How AMIS works

AMIS provides voice messaging to mailboxes at different sites on a communication network. A network, as it is referred to here, is a collection of offices, locations or sites connected by a telecommunication link. Each site on the network must have AMIS installed and be enabled to send, receive or reply to Network Messages.

Network voice messaging occurs between mailboxes at different sites. For example, a message recorded at an office in Cleveland, Ohio can be transferred directly to the appropriate mailbox at an office in Toronto, Ontario.

Each site on an AMIS network is assigned a Network Identification Number. This number distinguishes a site’s country location, long distance and area codes and telephone number.

Note: For AMIS to function, the Dialing Translation Table must be created and the

Dialing Translation Parameters must be set. Refer to About Dialing

Translation on page 15.

10 Learning about AMIS

About AMIS default feature settings

AMIS allows you to provide your site with network voice messaging features. When a feature is enabled by default, it means the feature works automatically when AMIS is enabled. A feature with a default setting of N for No must be enabled before the feature can work. You can change the AMIS default feature settings to suit the needs of your company. The AMIS feature settings include:

• Network Receive

• Network Delivery

• Network Reply

• Sender Name (attached to messages)

• Network Broadcast Messages

• Network Group List

• Network Retries

• Network Retry Delay When AMIS is enabled all the features are enabled except for:

• Sender Name (attached to messages)

• Network Broadcast Messages

• Network Group List

Network Receive

This feature lets you specify whether your site can receive network voice messages from other AMIS sites. When this feature is enabled, your site can receive voice messages from other sites on the network. The default setting is enabled.

Network Delivery

This feature lets you specify whether your site is capable of sending voice messages to other sites that have AMIS enabled. When this feature is enabled, your site can send voice messages to other sites on the network. The default setting is enabled.

Network Reply

This feature lets you specify whether or not your site can respond to Network Messages. When this feature is enabled, your site can reply to messages from other sites on the network. The default setting is enabled.

Sender Name (attached to messages)

When enabled, this feature attaches the sender’s name to all messages sent from your site. The sender’s name plays as part of the recorded message. The default setting is disabled.

Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging AMIS Set Up and Operation Guide P0911950 Issue 02

Network Broadcast Messages

When enabled, this feature lets you send Broadcast Messages to all Network Delivery Mailboxes established at your site. The default setting is disabled.

Network Group List

This feature lets you add Network Delivery Mailboxes to a Group List. When a voice message is sent to a Group List, all Network Delivery Mailboxes in the Group List receive the message. The default setting is disabled.

Network Retries

This feature sets the maximum number of times the system attempts to send a message before abandoning it and showing a Non-Delivery Notification. The default setting is three attempts.

Network Retry Delay

This feature states the length of time between delivery attempts of the same message. The default setting is 10 minutes.

Sending Network Messages

Learning about AMIS 11

When the Network Delivery feature is enabled, Network Messages can be sent to any site on an AMIS network with the Network Receive feature enabled. Network Messages can be sent in three ways:

• Direct Addressing

• Site-Based Addressing

• Network Delivery Mailboxes

Note: For information about sending Network Messages, refer to the Enterprise

Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging AMIS User Guide.

Direct Addressing

Direct Addressing lets you specify where a voice message is delivered. You can send a voice message to any person inside or outside of your company who has an AMIS address. When you use Direct Addressing, you specify the telephone number of the destination site and the Destination Mailbox Number. The line or pool number or route code Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging uses to make the call is taken from the Loopback Mailbox outdial setup.

P0911950 Issue 02 Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging AMIS Set Up and Operation Guide

12 Learning about AMIS

Site-Based Addressing

Site-Based Addressing lets you send voice messages to other locations. You can send a voice message by using a site-based address that is similar to the telephone number of the person you are sending a message to.

To use Site-Based Addressing, you need two pieces of network delivery information before the message can be sent. You must have the destination site’s site prefix and the mailbox number of the message recipient. After the message is recorded and the network delivery information is entered, the network message is automatically delivered to a mailbox.

You have to set up a Network Site Table before mailbox owners can use Site-Based Addressing. For information about setting up a Network Site Table refer to Adding

a site to the Network Site Table on page 29.

Network Delivery Mailboxes

Network Delivery Mailboxes let callers one site quickly and easily send messages to a mailbox at a remote location. Each Network Delivery Mailbox is assigned a local mailbox number that identifies the destination site telephone number, line or pool number or route code, and Destination Mailbox number.

If a user selects a Network Delivery Mailbox, Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging automatically sends the message to the specified network address and mailbox (if Call Blocking periods do not prohibit calls). Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging automatically accesses the specified line, dials the destination site telephone number and transmits the Network Message to the Target Mailbox. The user only records a voice message and selects the Network Delivery Mailbox number. For example, you can set up mailbox 5674 as a Network Delivery Mailbox. Add the mailbox to your Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging system and specify Line number 8, Destination telephone number 123-1213 and Destination Mailbox 234. Each time a registered Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging mailbox owner accesses mailbox 5674 at your site, Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging immediately knows it is a message intended for mailbox 234 at another location.

You can also set up a Network Delivery Mailbox with a site-based address. See

Adding a Network Delivery Mailbox with a Direct Address on page 40.

For information about setting up and maintaining Network Delivery Mailboxes refer to About Network Delivery Mailboxes on page 39.

Who can use AMIS

You assign AMIS through the mailbox Class of Service. AMIS is used by registered Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging mailbox owners who have initialized their mailboxes. Mailbox owners can send a Network Message only after they have opened their mailboxes. After recording a message, a mailbox owner can either send the message through Direct Addressing, Site-Based Addressing or use a Network Delivery Mailbox.

Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging AMIS Set Up and Operation Guide P0911950 Issue 02

Network Delivery Mailboxes can also appear in the Company Directory. Although they appear in the Company Directory, only a registered mailbox owner can select a Network Delivery Mailbox.

Note: If a caller without a mailbox selects a Network Delivery Mailbox from the

Company Directory, the caller is informed that access to the mailbox is not allowed. Only registered mailbox owners can access Network Delivery Mailboxes.

Setting up AMIS

AMIS is fully operational when it is enabled. The set up tasks that you must perform are establishing your site's unique network identification number and recording your site's network name.

Setting up Dialing Translation

Introduction

After AMIS is enabled, you must set up the Dialing Translation Table. You are responsible for creating and maintaining the Dialing Translation Table. This chapter explains:

• About Dialing Translation

• Dialing Translation Parameters

• Technician-Created Dialing Translation Table To set up AMIS, you require an Enterprise Edge two line display telephone. You

cannot set up AMIS from an Enterprise Edge one line display telephone.

About Dialing Translation

There are several instances when Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging generates an outbound call. One instance is when a mailbox owner replies to a Calling Line Identification (CLID) message. In this situation, Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging generates a phone number to be dialed by the central office (CO).

Another instance is when AMIS Network Reply or the AMIS Loopback Mailbox are used. With these features, the phone number is generated from information transmitted with the original message.

In both instances several changes must occur before the number is dialed correctly through the local telephone network. You set up the Dialing Translation Table and Dialing Parameters to determine these changes.

How the Dialing Translation Table works

A phone number is derived from information attached to an incoming Caller ID or AMIS message. The number is then looked up in the Dialing Translation Table. If the leading digit or digits match a Dialing Translation Table Input value, the number is substituted for the Output value. This change results in a phone number that is dialed on the CO network. Changing the number usually consists of dropping the area code or inserting an access code, based on the dialing rules of the local network. For example, if a local number is prefixed with the long distance code 01, the long distance code is removed by the Dialing Translation Table.

The Dialing Translation process is immediate so calls do not take any longer to dial. Note: Not all phone numbers need to be changed before dialing.

P0911950 Issue 02 Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging AMIS Set Up and Operation Guide

16 Setting up Dialing Translation

Phone number Translation

The Dialing Translation Table changes Network extensions into numbers that are dialed on the local network. The Network extension form of a phone number is the normal form in which the number appears. For example, on a business card a phone number reads 403-555-5050. This number, in its Network extension form, must be translated into a number that can be dialed on the local telephone network. The Dialing Translation Table follows the rules required to make the call.

The Dialing Translation Table must define each possible case where a change is needed to allow the number to be dialed on the local network.

Every Dialing Translation Table entry consists of an Input value and an Output value. The values in the Input column represent the leading digits of the Network extension that, if matched, are replaced by the corresponding value in the Output column. The * character shown after a value signifies any digits in the phone number remaining to be dialed. Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging automatically adds the * character after every Input and Output value.

Any phone number either matches a specific Input value or does not match at all. The following tables are examples of Dialing Translation Tables and how they

function.

and 360 are long distance and have 1 added as a prefix.

Network Access

The Dialing Table Translation results in a number that can be dialed on the local network. The final step is to add (prefix) digits to the beginning of the number to reach the local network from your Enterprise Edge system. Systems behind a PBX must have digits added to the beginning of the phone number. In North America 9 is typically added to the beginning of the phone number. Systems attached to the CO lines do not require digits to be added to the beginning of the phone number.

18 Setting up Dialing Translation

Dialing Translation Parameters

Dialing Translation is controlled by four parameters. For AMIS to function, you must enter a value for the long distance access code and the area code parameters and set the reply translation parameter to Y (yes). The Dialing Translation Parameters are explained below.

Long distance access code (Lg dst ac): This prefix is removed from any numbers that do not require it to make the call. This simplifies creating the Dialing Translation Table. For North America, set the long distance access code to 1. The default for this parameter is none. The length of this parameter is a maximum of 2 digits.

Area code (area cd): An area code is prefixed to a phone number if the phone number entered by a caller is missing an area code. If addressing information attached to a message is missing an area code, the area code is prefixed to the number. The area code is considered to be missing if the number has fewer than 10 digits. The default for this parameter is none. The length of this parameter is a maximum of 6 digits.

Access code (Access cd): This number is prefixed to all numbers, after Dialing Translation, to access the local telephone network. The access code is required if Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging is installed behind a PBX. In North America, the access code is usually 9. If Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging is attached directly to CO lines, set the Access Code to none. The default for this parameter is none. The length of this parameter is a maximum of 16 digits.

Reply translation (Reply trans): If AMIS is installed, you must set reply translation to Y. The default for this parameter is N.

Technician-Created Dialing Translation Table

Setting up Dialing Translation 21

Since the Dialing Translation Table can be very large, you can create a Dialing Translation Table using a basic text editor program on your PC. After you create the ASCII file and save it to a floppy disk, the technician can load it onto the Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging system. The floppy disk can be used to install the Dialing Translation Table onto other Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging systems in the same calling area. This saves time whe n the Dialing Translation Table is the same for the Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging systems in the same calling area.

Creating the Dialing Translation Table file

The Technician-Created Dialing Translation Table must conform to the following rules:

• Only one Dialing Translation Table entry per line. A Dialing Translation Table entry consists of one Input value and one Output value.

• There can be no blank lines in the Dialing Translation Table.

• The Input value must be entered first, followed by the Output value. The Input value must be separated from the Output value by one or more spaces. A tab can be used in place of a space.

• A null Input value must be represented by a single hyphen (-).

• A null Output value must be represented by a single hyphen (-).

• An Output value of a restricted extension must be represented by a #.

• No extra characters can be added to either the Input or the Output value. In particular, no * can be added after the Input or Output value. After the Dialing Translation Table is loaded on the system, the * is added automatically after each Input and Output value.

P0911950 Issue 02 Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging AMIS Set Up and Operation Guide
