Learning about Enterprise Edge Networking
Introduction
Enterprise Edge Networking links Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging and other
voice mail systems at different locations. Enterprise Edge Networking allows the
exchange of voice messages between users at different sites on a network connected
by Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Enterprise Edge
Voice Messaging systems must have Enterprise Edge Networking enabled before
receiving or sending network messages.
Enterprise Edge Networking uses Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to
exchange the messages.
This section describes how Enterprise Edge Networking works and explains:
• network communication
• Site-based Addressing (sending Network Messages)
• Network Delivery Mailboxes
2
This section also describes your role as System Administrator and the tasks
involved in setting up your company on an Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging
Network.
How Enterprise Edge Networking works
Enterprise Edge Networking provides voice messaging to different mailboxes
located at different sites on a network. Each Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging site
on the network must have Enterprise Edge Networking installed and enabled to
send, receive or reply to Network Messages.
Network voice messaging occurs between mailboxes located at different sites. For
example, a message recorded at an office in Miami, Florida can be transferred
directly to the appropriate mailbox at an office in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Each site on a network is assigned a unique Fully Qualified Domain Name. This
name distinguishes a site from any other on the network. A Fully Qualified Domain
Name is the full name of the site, including all subdomain and domain names,
separated by periods. For example, arabians.horse.com is a Fully Qualified
Domain Name.

About Enterprise Edge Networking features
Enterprise Edge Networking features allow you to assign your site network
messaging capability. These features include:
• Network Receive
• Network Delivery
• Network Reply
• Network Broadcast Messaging
• Network Group List Messaging
• Network Retries
• Network Retry Delay
When Enterprise Edge Networking is enabled, all of the above features are enabled,
except for Network Broadcast Messaging and Network Group List Messaging.
Network Receive feature
This feature allows you to specify whether your site can receive network voice
messages from other sites on the network.
Network Delivery feature
This feature allows you to specify whether your site is capable of sending voice
messages to other sites on the network with Enterprise Edge Networking enabled.
Network Reply feature
This feature allows you to specify whether or not your site can respond to Network
Messages.
Network Broadcast Messaging feature
This feature allows you to enable Broadcast Messaging across the network. When
enabled, all Network Delivery Mailboxes established at your location receive a
Broadcast Message.
Network System Group List Messaging feature
This feature allows you to 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.
Note: For more information about Network Delivery Mailboxes, refer to Network
Delivery Mailboxes on page 9.
Enterprise Edge Networking Set Up and Operation Guide P0908529 Issue 02
Network Retries
This feature sets the maximum number of times the system attempts to send a
message before abandoning it and giving a Non Delivery Notification message. The
default setting is three attempts.
Network Retry Delay
This feature sets the lengt h of time between deliver y attempts of the same m essage.
The default setting is 10 minutes.
Sending Network Messages
When the Network Delivery option is enabled, Network Messages can be sent to
any Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging site on the network. Sites must have the
Network Receive feature enabled to receive network messages.
Network Messages can be sent two ways:
• Site-Based Addressing
• Network Delivery Mailboxes
Learning about Enterprise Edge Networking 9
Note: For instructions on how to send a message using Site-Based Addressing or
Network Delivery Mailboxes, refer to the Enterprise Edge Networking User
Guide.
Site-Based Addressing
Site-Based Addressing allows a user to send a message to other locations. When a
mailbox owner sends a message using Site-Based Addressing, the address used is
usually the same as or similar to the telephone number of the message recipient.
Network Delivery Mailboxes
Network Delivery Mailboxes allow callers at one site to quickly and easily send
messages to a mailbox at a remote location. Each Network Delivery Mailbox is
assigned a local mailbox number and the destination site user’s name appears in the
local company directory. The Network Delivery Mailbox makes sending a message
across the country as easy as sending it across the hall.
When a Network Delivery Mailbox is selected, Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging
automatically sends the message to the specified network address and mailbox. The
user records a message and selects the Network Delivery Mailbox number. For
example, you set up mailbox 5656 as a Network Delivery Mailbox. You add the
mailbox to your Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging system and specify the site
prefix and the destination mailbox 450 at the destination site.
Each time a registered Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging mailbox owner accesses
mailbox 5656 at your site, Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging knows it is a message
intended for mailbox 450 at another location and automatically delivers it.
P0908529 Issue 02 Enterprise Edge Networking Set Up and Operation Guide
10 Learning about Enterprise Edge Networking
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.
When a Network Delivery Mailbox is selected from the Company Directory by a
caller without a mailbox, the caller is informed that access to the mailbox is not
allowed.
Who can use Enterprise Edge Networking
Enterprise Edge Networking is assigned through the Class of Service Networking
and is used by registered Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging mailbox owners who
have initialized their mailboxes. Users can send a Network Message only after they
have opened their mailboxes. After recording a message, a user can either send the
message through Site-Based Addressing or use a Network Delivery Mailbox.
Your role as System Administrator

Introduction
Setting up your Enterprise Edge Networking site on a network involves:
• setting up your Local Network parameters
• setting the General Networking features
• setting up the Network Site Table
This section describes how to set up your Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging system
for Network Messaging.
Setting up your Local Network parameters
Setting up your Local Network parameters involves:
• setting up the Fully Qualified Domain Name of your SMTP proxy (if
applicable)
• choosing a Local Mailbox Prefix for your site
Setting up the Fully Qualified Domain Name of your SMTP proxy
Before Enterprise Edge Networking can be used, you must find out from the
Network Administrator whether or not the network has an SMTP proxy. SMTP
proxies restrict access to a company’s internal network from the Internet. A proxy
provides network security and prevents unauthorized access.
If the network does have an SMTP proxy, you must set up the domain name of the
SMTP proxy of your site. Contact your Network Administrator for more
information.
The domain name of the SMTP proxy can be a maximum of 128 characters and
must be made up of alphanumeric characters. The domain name cannot have any
spaces or punctuation, except characters such as periods, dashes or underscores that
are part of the name.
If the network has a direct connection to the Internet, then the network does not have
an SMTP proxy and you can leave this parameter at the default.

12 Setting up Enterprise Edge Networking
Choosing a Local Mailbox Prefix for your site
Before your site can receive messages from other sites, you must choose a Local
Mailbox Prefix for your site.
The Local Mailbox Prefix is a number from one to nine digits. The Local Mailbox
Prefix makes your site unique across the entire network. Your Local Mailbox Prefix
must be communicated to the Network Administrators and System Administrators
at each digital site. Other sites enter your Local Mailbox Prefix into the Network
Site Table entry that corresponds to your site.
Note: If you change your Local Mailbox Prefix at a later date, give your new Local
Mailbox Prefix to the Network Administrators and System Administrators
at each digital site.
Your Local Mailbox Prefix can be the same as your site’s area code and three-digit
exchange prefix. For example, if customers normally dial 403-246-xxxx to reach
your site, 403246 can be your Local Mailbox Prefix.
Entering your Local Network parameters
To enter the Local Network parameters:
1. Click the Networking menu and then click Digital-specific Networking
Parameters.
The Digital-specific Networking Parameters dialog box appears.
2. In the SMTP Proxy Name box, type the SMTP Proxy Name.
3. In the Local Prefix box, type the local prefix.
4. Click the OK button.
Setting the General Networking features

Network Site Table administration
Before local users can send messages to another site using Site-Based Addressing,
you must add the site to your local Network Site Table.
Adding a site in the Network Site Table
Before you add a site to the Network Site Table, you must create the following local
information about the target site:
Site Name
A text name for the site can be up to 16 characters. This is the name that is shown
to the local user when they address the message or review message envelope
information.
Host Name
A text name for the host site (Fully Qualified Domain Name) can be up to 16
characters.
Site Prefix
The Site Prefix is a number between one to nine digits in length that identifies the
site on the network. This number must be unique and not assigned to any ot her site
on the local system. Make the Site Prefix a number that is easy for users to
recognize and remember. The Site Prefix is usually the same as the sequence of
digits that local users dial to place a telephone call to the site. For example, if local
users dial 403-123-4567 to call someone at the target site, then 403123 is an easily
remembered Site Prefix for the site.
The Site Prefix cannot overlap any other Site Prefix in your Network Site Table. For
example, if you use Site Prefix 403123, it overlaps with prefixes 40312 and
4031234.
Next, you need to know the following information about the site, which can be obtained from
the Network Administrator for the target site:
Mailbox Prefix
The Mailbox Prefix is the Local Mailbox Prefix in use at the target site. Enterprise
Edge Networking ensures that all messages sent to the target site have this value
prefixed. The Mailbox Prefix ensures uniqueness for the receiving proxy or
networking equipment.
Enterprise Edge Networking Set Up and Operation Guide P0908529 Issue 02
Setting up Enterprise Edge Networking 15
Voice Format
Describes the voice encoding scheme used for messages sent to the destination site.
The voice encoding must refer to the destination site. Enterprise Edge Voice
Messaging systems with Digital Voice Cards (DVC) installed have Adaptive
Differential Pulse Code Modulation (ADPCM) as their voice encoding type.
Enterprise Edge servers that have Media Services Card (MSC) voice cards installed
use Sub Band Coding (SBC) as their voice encoding type. Destination sites running
voice messaging systems other than Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging must have
VPIM as their voice encoding type. The default setting is ADPCM.
Site Name (Second instance)
A recording of the Site Name. The name plays to the local user when addressing the
message or reviewing message envelope information. If the Site Name is not
recorded, unknown site plays. Click the Voice button and record or import the Site
Name.

Network Delivery Mailboxes
Introduction
A Network Delivery Mailbox establishes a connection with a mailbox at a remote
site using a local mailbox number that can be accessed from your site. The Network
Delivery Mailbox contains all the information necessary to transfer a message to a
mailbox at another location. This information includes the destination site prefix
and the mailbox number located at the destination site.
This section shows you how to:
• add a Network Delivery Mailbox
• change a Network Delivery Mailbox
• delete a Network Delivery Mailbox
About Network Delivery Mailboxes
The number of Network Delivery Mailboxes you need is determined by the number
of users on the network, and the type of network messaging required. You can have
a maximum of 1,000 mailboxes on your Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging system.
The maximum number of mailboxes includes any combination of Special, Personal,
Guest, Information and Network Delivery Mailboxes.
Network Delivery Mailboxes simplify network messaging because a mailbox
owner must remember only their Network Delivery Mailbox number. Enterprise
Edge Voice Messaging uses the mailbox number to find the destination site address
and the mailbox at the destination site that receives the message. When selected, a
message sent through the Network Delivery Mailbox is delivered automatically.
For example, a bank has a main office with many branches throughout the city.
Sometimes the bank receives messages for personnel at a different branch. Each
individual at a branch office can be assigned a Network Delivery Mailbox at the
main office. A message for a person at a branch office can be sent through the
Network Delivery Mailbox at the main office.
P0908529 Issue 02 Enterprise Edge Networking Set Up and Operation Guide
18 Setting up and maintaining Network Delivery Mailboxes
A Network Delivery Mailbox number is assigned by you and contains:
• a text name
• a recorded spoken name
• a site prefix
• a mailbox number
Adding a Network Delivery Mailbox
Before you add Network Delivery Mailboxes, create a mailbox list. Assign the
same leading digit to all Network Delivery Mailboxes. Assigning the same leading
digit to mailboxes helps you identify the different Enterprise Edge Voice
Messaging mailboxes. For example, all Personal mailboxes can start with the
number four, Guest mailboxes with five, and Network Delivery Mailboxes with six.
You must know the destination site prefix and the destination mailbox number. The
first line in the table Network Delivery Mailbox parameter summary on page 19 is
the information you need to set up a Network Delivery Mailbox. For example, the
Network Delivery Mailbox is assigned the number 610. When a mailbox owner
selects 610, Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging sends the message to the destination
site and forwards the message to mailbox 8225.
If you use the table as a Network Delivery Mailbox list, ensure you photocopy the
page. Use the photocopy to record your Network Delivery Mailbox numbers and
destination parameters. For more information, refer to Appendix A: Enterprise
Edge Networking Programming Record on page 29.
The Network Delivery Mailbox length must be the same length as the other
mailboxes on the system. For example, if the mailbox length is three digits, the
Network Delivery Mailbox must also be three digits.
To add a Network Delivery Mailbox, the site must be a part of the Network Site
Table. You can find information such as the Fully Qualified Domain Name of the
site and the voice encoding information from the Network Site Table parameters.
For more information about adding sites to the Network Site Table, refer to
Network Site Table administration on page 14.

Troubleshooting Enterprise Edge Networking
Introduction
This section describes some problems that can occur while using Enterprise Edge
Networking. If you suspect a problem with the network, contact your Network
Administrator.
This section describes scenarios that can generate a Non Delivery Notification
message.
Enterprise Edge Networking Non Delivery Notification messages
If for any reason your network message cannot be delivered, you receive a Non
Delivery Notification voice prompt. Below is a list of the Non Delivery Notification
audio messages, their meanings and possible solutions.
“The destination site is not accepting messages”
The destination site has not entered your site in their Network Site Table, the
destination site does not have Enterprise Edge Networking enabled, the destination
site is busy receiving other messages or the destination site has the Network
Receive feature disabled. The system attempts to resend the message, but is
unsuccessful.
6
• Ensure the destination site has entered your site in their Network Site Table.
• Ensure the destination site has Enterprise Edge Networking enabled and the
Network Receive feature is enabled.
• Attempt to resend the message. If you receive the same Non Delivery
Notification message, contact your Network Administrator.
“There is a protocol mismatch with the remote site”
The destination site is not an Enterprise Edge Networking site. The remote site is
not an Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging site. The system does not attempt to resend
the message.
• Ensure the destination site is either an Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging
system.
• Contact your Network Administrator.
“Message transfer was interrupted”
A system processing error occurs at the destination site during message processing.
The system does not attempt to resend the message.
• Contact your Network Administrator.

28 Troubleshooting Enterprise Edge Networking
“The Domain Name of the remote site in not valid”
The Domain Name of the destination site is incorrect, the domain name is deleted
from the Network Site Table or the HOSTS file or Domain Name Server is not
configured with the site’s domain name. The system does not attempt to resend the
message.
• Contact your Network Administrator.
“A connection to the remote site could not be established”
Your site cannot connect to the destination site. This problem is likely a lack of
Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity. The system does not attempt to resend the
message.
• Contact the destination s ite or the Network Administrator and verify that t he site
is on the network.
“The network is experiencing problems”
Your site is busy sending other network messages and cannot send your message or
a system error has occurred. The system does attempt to resend the message.
• If you receive the same Non Delivery Notification voice prompt, contact your
Network Administrator.
“The destination site’s mailbox is full”
The destination site’s mailbox is full. The system does not attempt to resend the
message.
• Contact your Network Administrator.
“The destination site’s mailbox does not exist”
The destination mailbox is removed, the System Administrator entered the wrong
mailbox number when the Network Delivery Mailbox was created, the Network
Delivery Mailbox was deleted before the message was sent or the mailbox number
entered for site-based addressing is incorrect. The system does not attempt to resend
the message.
• Verify the destination site mailbox number.
• Contact your Network Administrator.
“The destination site is not accepting network message delivery”
The destination mailbox exists, but is not initialized, the mailbox does not have the
Networking Class of Service assigned or the mailbox owner chooses not to accept
messages while away from the office. The system does not attempt to resend the
message.
• Contact the destination site or the Network Administrator.
