send to non-administered recipients (y/n)?
The default value is y. If this field is y, when a subscriber addresses a message to a remote extension
that does not map to a remote subscriber known by the local AUDIX system, the local AUDIX system
will add this potential subscriber to its data base and then send the message to every remote system in
the network for which the subscriber address is valid.
The AUDIX system does this in case a new subscriber has been added somewhere in the network and
this remote system has not been made aware of it either through administrator communication or
through remote updates. If the subscriber is found on a remote AUDIX machine, the local AUDIX
system will deliver this message to the valid remote machine(s) and validate this new subscriber. If a
valid remote subscriber cannot be found, the subscriber record will be deleted eventually by one of the
system audits and the AUDIX system will change the status of the message from ‘‘undelivered’’ to
‘‘undeliverable’’ in the message sender’s voice mailbox.
NOTE
Any address should not map to more than one valid subscriber in the network. However,
the AUDIX software does not enforce this, so it is possible for a message to be sent to
more than one subscriber if an address is duplicated.
If this field is n, when a subscriber addresses a message to a remote extension or name that does not
map to a remote subscriber known by the local AUDIX system, the local AUDIX system will not send
the message. The subscriber who is attempting to address the message will be notified that the
extension is invalid.
If the network administrators keep open lines of communication (or there is just one administrator for
the entire network), chances are good that each system will be kept up-to-date. Therefore, the customer
would want an n entered here so the local AUDIX system is not burdened with finding a subscriber that
probably does not exist in the first place. (What usually has happened is that a user has misdialed.)
NOTE
Permitting subscribers to send messages to non-administered recipients may have a
significant impact on the network. It may cause unnecessary calls to other systems and load
up the local subscriber data base with unneeded records.
Saving Remote System Data
When you are finished entering the data, press CHANGE or RUN . Any changes or additions to this form are
put to use immediately unless the system is running R1V3 or R1V4 software; in this case, run a network
data audit (see the maintenance : audits : fp form).
Exit the form and re-enter it to verify that the changes were accepted. Notice that the password is no longer
displayed.
