Network Design
Planning is the essential first step in implementing an AMIS analog networking
and/or message delivery network. Actual network administration should not
begin until the local voice mail system is running smoothly and the system
administrator is familiar with all aspects of administering it.
A network coordinator should be named to manage the administration and
updates for every remote system (for AMIS analog networking) or telephone
number (for message delivery). This is particularly important on AMIS analog
networking and/or message delivery networks where remote subscriber records
must be input manually on the local machine (machine-to-machine updates are
not supported over an AMIS analog/message delivery network).
Designing an AMIS Analog/Message Delivery
Network
Figure 2-1 shows you a sample network that contains the following systems:
■
AUDIX System:
This sample R1V8 system uses AMIS analog networking to
connect with a DEFINITY AUDIX system and a set (range) of non-Lucent
Technologies voice mail systems. The system uses the Message Delivery
feature to connect to several other locations including all local numbers
and one long-distance destination.
In this example, the AUDIX system is also digitally networked to other
AUDIX or Intuity systems. These digital connections do not directly affect
the AMIS analog/message delivery network
except
that the address
ranges
cannot
be duplicated or overlap. Address ranges are discussed in
the "Defining Address Ranges" section of this chapter.
■
DEFINITY AUDIX System:
This system has a smaller number of
subscribers. The system also connects to several Message Delivery
locations including all local numbers and one long-distance site, a range
of non-Lucent Technologies voice mail systems, and the AUDIX R1V8 and
Intuity systems.
■
Intuity System:
The sample Intuity system uses AMIS analog networking to
connect with a DEFINITY AUDIX system and a set (range) of non-Lucent
Technologies voice mail systems. The system uses the Message Delivery
feature to connect to several other locations including all local numbers
and one long-distance destination.
In this example, the Intuity system is also digitally networked to other
Intuity or AUDIX systems. These digital connections do not directly affect
the AMIS analog/message delivery network
except
that the address
ranges
cannot
be duplicated or overlap. Address ranges are discussed in
the"Defining Address Ranges" section of this chapter.
