Setting Digital Networking properties

  1. Click the Networking heading.

  2. Click the Digital Networking Properties link.

    The Digital Networking Properties page appears.

  3. Set the Digital Networking properties:

    Local Prefix

    The local prefix is the sequence of digits that must be prefixed to local mailbox numbers to make them unique across your network. The prefix is usually the same at your site prefix in the network numbering plan.

    The local prefix is a number from one to nine digits. This prefix can be the same as your site’s area code and three-digit exchange prefix. For example, if customers dial 403-246-0171-246 to reach your site, 403246 can be your local prefix.

    You must give your local prefix number to the Network Administrator and System Administrator at each digital site. If you change it, give them your new prefix. They can update your local prefix in their Site Tables.

    SMTP Proxy Name

    Before you can use Digital Networking, you must find out from the Network Administrator whether the network has an SMTP proxy. SMTP proxies restrict access to a company’s internal network from the Internet. A proxy provides network security and prevents unauthorized access.

    If your network has a direct connection to the Internet or Intranet, it does not have an SMTP proxy and you do not have to enter an SMTP proxy name. If your network has an SMTP proxy, you must enter the domain name of the SMTP proxy of your site. The FQDN of the SMTP proxy can be a maximum of 128 alphanumeric characters. The domain name cannot have any spaces or punctuation except for characters such as periods, dashes or underscores that are part of the name. Contact your Network Administrator for more information.

    If you are in a non-DNS environment the SMTP Proxy box does not appear.

    IP Address and Domain Name

    Displays your IP address and full qualified domain name (FQDN). If you use a DNS your system displays the domain name and IP address. The FQDN is the domain name used for referring to your site, and is added to all outgoing messages. For example, nortel.com is a domain name.
