Defining address prefixes for both DTT and DTF
DTT and DTF addressing conventions
When you configure Delivery to Telephone (DTT) or Delivery to Fax
(DTF) addressing conventions, consider the following requirements and
recommendations:
•
•
•
•
Dialing prefixes and codes
To ensure that the DTT/DTF service is activated, you must define one or
more dialing prefixes. Publish these prefixes so users can specify them
during message composition and when entering addresses in distribution
lists.
Cautions
•
•
Synchronizing the DTT prefix and the dialing code
Make the DTT prefix and dialing code the same wherever possible. This
simplifies message addressing for users because the numbers users enter
when addressing a DTT message are exactly the same as the numbers they
dial when placing an external call.
Example
If the public network access code is 9, define both the DTT prefix and the
dialing code as 9.

a DTT prefix for each dialing scenario
For each DTT prefix, you must also define an associated dialing code.
When a user enters a DTT prefix, the system actually replaces the prefix
the user entered with the associated dialing code. The dialing code is
the public network access code that the system needs to place the call.
DTT prefixes cannot conflict with mailbox numbers. If you have a
coordinated dialing plan (CDP), the prefix can be the same as the initial
number(s) of a CDP steering code, but cannot be the same as the entire
code. For example, if one of your steering codes is 566, 5 or 56 can be
used as a DTT prefix, but 566 cannot be used. For these cases, you
need an arbitrary prefix that does not conflict with other numbers for the
system to remove and replace with a dialing code to create a dialable
number.
