MOVING A SUBSCRIBER BETWEEN AUDIX SYSTEMS IN A

NETWORK

At some time, you may need to move a subscriber (or a group of subscribers) from one AUDIX system to
another in an AUDIX network. The recommended way to move a subscriber(s) from AUDIX system 1 to
system 2 is shown below.

Make sure the remote update fields on the

system : translation : machine :

audix/amis/call delivery

and

system : translation : remote updates

forms are

set to

for the entire network.

1. Remove the subscriber(s) from system 1 using the

subscriber : local

form and the

DELETE

key.

2. Run the mailing lists audit using the

maintenance : audits : fp

form on the local and

remote systems. These audits will delete references to the removed subscriber(s) from any mailing
lists on system 1. Then run the subscriber data audit. This audit will prevent errors or redundancy in
the subscriber data. This reduces the chances of introducing problems into the network.

3. Do one of the following:

— Run a connection test using the

maintenance : network

form. One at a time, connect to

all systems in the network. This test will notify the other systems of an update pending.

Now at each of the other systems, run a connect test to system 1. The subscribers removed from
system 1 should now be deleted as remote subscribers at the other systems.

— If the network is not heavily loaded with voice mail between systems and the transmission

intervals of the systems are set to 5 or 10 minutes, you can just wait for 30 minutes or so to make
sure each system has had a chance to call all other systems.

4. Log in to system 2. Check the

subscriber : remote

form to verify that the removed

subscriber(s) do not exist on this system. If the subscriber(s) still exist, remove them manually with
the

DELETE

key. If you are moving a range of subscribers, you will want to remove their range of

extension numbers from system 1’s profile. Do this at system 1 (local machine profile) and at system
2 (remote machine profile).

NOTE

You will also want to remove the range from the other systems, but do not remove the range
until you verify that the other systems no longer reference the removed subscribers.

If any of the moved subscribers were included on mailing lists, they will need to be re-
administered on those mailing lists.

Now you are ready to add the subscriber(s) to system 2.

1. Check the profile for system 2 (local machine profile). If the subscriber extension(s) is not part of

one of the defined ranges, alter one of the ranges or add a new one. Be careful not to create an
overlap of another range.

2. Repeat step 1 at all other systems on system 2’s profile (a remote profile for the other systems). This

includes system 1.
