166 Installing Amanda@Work.Place
n_ochan Allows you to dedicate port 1 to notification.
The number 1 or 0. The default is 0.
When 1, port 1 is dedicated and does not answer incoming calls. When using dedicated
notification, be sure to direct incoming calls to port 2 and up. Dedicated notification
eliminates the notification collision (known as glare) caused when Amanda inadvertent-
ly begins a notification on a port receiving an incoming call. However, you can no long-
er use the port for incoming calls.
When 0, Amanda does either roving or restricted notification (depending on the value of
notify_restriction).
With roving notification, Amanda starts with the last port in the hunt group and works
backwards until she locates an idle port.
Restricted notification uses only one port, usually the last port in the hunt group. How-
ever, that port is not dedicated to notification. The port can still receive calls.
N
OTE
: If a caller hears DTMF and then a hangup instead of the company greeting, a collision
has occurred.
When n_ochan is set to 1, notify_restriction is ignored.
When using roving or restricted notification, program the ports to be in a linear hunt
group (not a circular hunt group). In a linear hunt group, the first port always rings (un-
less it is busy), the second port rings only if the first is busy, and the third port rings only
if the first and second ports are both busy. Then when Amanda’s last port rings, all the
other ports must be busy.
The default appears in install.cfg as:
set n_ochan 0
nam_maxlen The maximum number of seconds to allow for recording a mailbox’s name and exten-
sion. Amanda plays the name and extension recording to provide callers with informa-
tion from the employee directory and to identify who is being called.
A number of seconds. The range is from 1 to 99. The default is 5.
See also box_idx and modified_call_screening.
The default appears in install.cfg as:
set nam_maxlen 5
new_send Determines whether a user can send a message to more than one user, when those users
are not part of a single list.
True or False. The default is True.
When True, a user can send a message to several mailboxes “on the fly.” When the user
presses 4 to send a new message, then 1 to select a mailbox destination, Amanda asks
for the “next mailbox or the # sign to finish.” When the user presses 3 to send, or 5 to
send with verification, the message is sent to every mailbox that was entered.
When False, the user can send a message only to one mailbox or to a previously created
list of mailboxes.
The default appears in install.cfg as:
set new_send true
non_relay_ok Determines the result of pressing # during a greeting.
True or False. The default is False.
When True, for any mailbox that does not have relay paging, pressing # (as well as ##)
ends a greeting and goes directly to the beep for leaving a message. If the mailbox has
relay paging, # invokes the relay and only ## ends the greeting.
When False, only ## ends the greeting, regardless of whether the mailbox has relay pag-
ing.
The default appears in install.cfg as:
set non_relay_ok false
