Octel Unified Messenger Concepts & Planning Guide

Introduction

Octel Unified Messenger subscribers can use different forms of
addressing:

From the PC user interface

Subscribers use the Microsoft Exchange directory for addressing
messages. An address is always unique within the Exchange directory. An
address entered at any location is automatically available at all locations
within the organization.

From the telephone user interface

Octel Unified Messenger supports four custom forms of addressing.
These four forms are needed because the telephone user interface (TUI)
does not provide a facility to enter alphabetic characters easily. They also
reduce the number of digits that are needed to address messages from the
telephone user interface. The four special forms of addressing are as
follows:

n

Local mailbox number

n

Dial-by-Name

n

Numeric address

n

OctelNet address

This chapter contains information on the first three addressing schemes.
For information on OctelNet addresses, see Chapter 5, “Providing
Interoperability with Existing Octel Servers”.
