CallPilot Message Networking Set Up and Operation Guide
Creating a network site
Before local subscribers can send messages to another site using Site-Based Addressing, you must
add the site to your network.
To add a site to your network, you must know these parameters:
Site name
The Site Name is a text name for the site that can be up to 16 characters.
This name is shown to local subscribers when they address a message or
review message envelope information. The site name is optional but
recommended.
Site prefix
The Site Prefix is a number one to nine digits long that identifies the site on
the network. This number must be unique. 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.
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.
Host name/IP address
(for digital networking sites
only)
If you use a DNS the host name setting appears. The host name is the
FQDN text name for the host site. It can be up to 128 characters long.
If you do not use a DNS the IP address setting appears.
Mailbox prefix
(for digital networking sites
only)
The Mailbox Prefix is the Local Mailbox Prefix of the target site. Message
Networking ensures that all messages sent to the target site are prefixed
with this number. The Mailbox Prefix ensures uniqueness for the receiving
proxy or networking equipment.
The mailbox prefix can be the same as the remote site prefix.
Phone number
(for AMIS sites only)
The phone number is the phone number of the destination site. The phone
number can be a maximum of 30 digits.
Outdial route
(for AMIS sites only )
The numbers your site uses to access Line, Pool or Route codes. The
Outdial route is the Line or Pool number that AMIS uses to make an
outgoing call or the Route code used to call a specific site.
