The network turnaround feature reduces system overhead time and long-distance charges by allowing all of
these events to occur with a single call rather than two calls. If cost control from a central point is not
critical, greater efficiency can be gained by implementing the network connection turnaround feature. The
connection can only be turned around once during a single call.
If the system has an ACCE board installed, you can monitor the status of the network turnaround feature
using the
activity field on the maintenance : network form (see Chapter 14 for an illustration
of this form).
SYSTEM PROFILES
To administer a network, the local machine, and each remote machine to which the local machine is
connected, must have a profile administered on the local system. The
system : translation :
machine : audix/amis/call delivery form is much like the subscriber : local form,
except that it is used to set up profiles for individual AUDIX systems rather than for individual subscribers.
The profile for the system to which the administration terminal is connected should already be set up with
some default values. These values may have to be changed now that the system will be part of a network.
See Setting Up the Local AUDIX System Profile in this chapter. Once the local profile is set up, a remote
profile must be set up for each remote system in the network. See Setting Up a Remote AUDIX System
Profile in this chapter.
NOTE
The local system is always the system to which the terminal is connected. All others are
considered remote systems regardless of where they are located.
SETTING UP THE LOCAL AUDIX SYSTEM PROFILE
Enter sys trans ma au on the path line. Press RETURN . The screen should display a blank
system : translation : machine : audix/amis/call delivery form. Press ENTER .
The form should be filled in with the values already assigned to the local system. See Figure 13-1, Local
AUDIX System Profile.
The customer or the Account Team should provide you with a copy of the Administrator’s Worksheet filled
in with values to be entered on this form. If not, use the copy provided at the end of this chapter and fill in
the values as you go. The following paragraphs provide guidelines for administering the local AUDIX
system.
