10.5 Mailboxes programmed on the local node, but associated with mailboxes on remote
Voice Processing nodes are referred to as "network mailboxes." They are used by the local
Voice Processing unit to identify and locate the mailboxes located on the other Voice Process-
ing nodes. They are not actual mailboxes; they are just "place holders" that tell the local node
where to send messages received for that mailbox number. If the mailbox subscriber logs on to
a network mailbox, the only options available are the directory name, the password, and possi-
bly the transfer method programming prompt, if enabled.
10.6 There are several methods available for Voice Processing networks. The networking
method determines how the local node communicates with the remote node. The networking
methods include the following:
•
AMIS: AMIS is an analog networking protocol that uses the public telephone network.
•
TCPIP: TCPIP is a direct network connection between the local Voice Processing sys-
tem and the remote Voice Processing system.
