The system administrator can administer remote AMIS messaging systems for one-step (preadministered) or two-step (casual) addressing. ### One-step Addressing For one-step addressing, subscribers typically enter the remote machine's prefix (if assigned), followed by the recipient's mailbox ID and the # key. However, subscribers who want to send AMIS analog networking messages to recipients on remote systems administered for one-step addressing can also: Address a message by name. This feature applies to administered remote recipients only. Administered refers to remote subscribers who have been entered in the local INTUITY AUDIX system's database. Include remote recipients on any system administered for AMIS one-step addressing in their personal mailing lists. Administered remote recipients can be included by name or telephone number. Unadministered remote recipients can be included only by telephone number. (See Types of AMIS Users for a description of administered and unadministered remote recipients.) Provide for unadministered remote recipients to be included by telephone number only. Hear the spoken name of the person to whom they are addressing mail or whose name they are looking up in the directory. If the administrator has not recorded these names, subscribers hear only the remote mailbox ID. Look up administered remote subscribers on systems administered for AMIS one-step addressing using the local system's names-and-numbers directory. Assign aliases to any remote recipients on systems administered for AMIS analog networking. Administered remote recipients can be included by name or telephone number. Unadministered remote recipients can be included only by telephone number. Use automatic addressing to respond to incoming messages. ### Two-step Addressing Subscribers sending AMIS messages to recipients on remote systems administered for two-step addressing must enter the recipient's address in two steps. To send an AMIS message using two-step addressing, local subscribers enter the prefix (if assigned), followed by the telephone number of the remote machine, followed by the # key. At this point they may hear the name of the remote system voiced back (if the system administrator has recorded a name for that machine or range of machines). The system then prompts subscribers to enter the extension (mailbox ID) for the intended recipient, followed by another # key. Subscribers hear the digits voiced back to confirm they entered the correct extension number. AMIS recipients on remote systems administered for AMIS two-step addressing cannot be addressed by name or included in subscribers' mailing lists or personal directories, nor are they included in the local system's names-and-numbers directory. Also, the name voiceback and Reply to Sender features are not available. ### Considerations One-step addresses are easier for subscribers to enter and can take advantage of many Avaya messaging conveniences. To use one-step addressing, the system administrator only needs to preadminister the machine. However, the administrator might also wish to administer remote subscribers to allow name addressing and name voiceback. Two-step addressing is often easier for the system administrator to implement because only the remote voice mail system (or range of remote systems) needs to be administered. For example, a range of remote systems could be administered for two-step addressing (for instance, an entire area code or all local telephone numbers) without the need to administer each remote system individually (as must be done for one-step addressing). See Planning and Design for additional considerations when planning AMIS addressing schemes. Top of page
