Chapter 6: Notifying Users 119
With restricted notification, there can be some glare. However, all your ports
can be used for calls. If you select restricted notification, you must indicate
which port has the highest number.
N
OTE
: When using roving or restricted notification, the ports
should be in a linear hunt group (not a circular hunt group).
In a linear hunt group, port 1 always rings first, port 2 rings
only if port 1 is busy, and port 3 only rings if port 1
and port
2 are both busy. Then when Amanda’s last port rings, all
the other ports must be busy.
Norstar KSU’s must use restricted notification.
Planning Your Notification Records
If users’ telephones have message lights, you need notification records that
turn those lights on and off. You program a normal notification record to
turn the light on and a pickup notification record to turn the light off.
Users with pagers can be notified using normal or urgent notification
records. However, if you want Amanda to ask callers for their telephone
numbers and send those numbers to the pagers, you need to use relay page
notification records.
A normal notification record works for both urgent and non-urgent
messages—until you add an urgent notification record. Then only non-
urgent messages activate normal notification records. That means that, if
urgent messages are to turn on message lights, you must add an urgent
notification record that turns on message lights. This record is identical to
the normal notification record for message lights, but its type is urgent
instead of normal.
As the system administrator, you should use the disk notification record
(available only for mailbox 999). Amanda lets you know when disk space
becomes less than a specified percentage. By default, that is 20%, but you
can change the diskwarn configuration option that controls this percentage
using the Setup utility (selection 4).
