Overlapping or Duplicate Ranges
For all AMIS analog networking and message delivery addresses, duplicate
address ranges or overlapping address ranges are
not
permitted. A
duplicate
range
(or full overlap) means that the address range you have defined is already
defined for another machine. An
overlapping range
means that the range you
have defined is a subset of an already existing range or is overlapping another
range.
For example, you would be assigning a
subset
if you tried to assign the extension
range 2000-3999 when the range 2000-5999 already exists. The new range
would not be allowed (you would receive an error message). You would be
assigning an
overlap
if you tried to assign the extension range 5000-6999 when
the range 2000-5999 already exists. To avoid this problem, assign two new
ranges instead (1000-1999 and 6000-6999). If you cannot avoid a duplicate or
overlapping range, return to the"Address Prefixes" section and select an address
prefix that will make the range of numbers unique.
Extension Ranges and Length
Every remote machine in an AMIS analog/message delivery network
must
be
assigned an extension range. If you want local subscribers to access a specific
remote machine or telephone number (for example, for long-distance AMIS
casual systems or Message Delivery destinations), you can assign an extension
“range” of a single number (such as
4000
to
4000
).
The length of the extension depends on the application. For example, on AMIS
one-step systems, the system dials the remote system’s telephone number for
the subscriber, allowing subscribers to type fewer digits. The interaction between
extension length and the
dial string
(the number the local system dials to reach
the remote machine) is summarized in the next section. Generally:
■
For AMIS one-step (pre-administered) connections:
The extension length
is typically the same length as other extensions on the switch. That is,
local subscribers’ extension numbers are the same length as other
extensions on the local switch, and remote subscribers’ extension
numbers are the same length as other extensions on the remote switch.
■
For AMIS two-step (casual) and Message Delivery connections:
The
extension length indicates how many digits entered by subscribers for an
AMIS or Message Delivery address are actually dialed by the local
system. For example, if the extension length is
7
, the local voice mail
system dials the dial string followed by the last seven digits of the number
a subscriber enters as an address (an AMIS prefix, if assigned, is not
dialed).
