Updating and Synchronizing Directories

PlusNet sites must exchange subscriber and group information before PlusNet subscribers can send and receive

messages from other PlusNet sites.

The first directory update between sites might require hours to transmit over phone lines. During the first directory

update, the directory information that sites exchange includes:

• Subscribers’ spelled names, voice names, and extensions.

• Message groups’ spelled names or numbers, voice names, and group types.

Estimate the transmission time before running a directory update. Transmission time for each subscriber or group is

approximately 90 seconds. Each local site must individually update directory information with each remote site in the

Multisite Messaging network.

NOTE

DIRECTORY INFORMATION CAN ONLY BE SYNCHRONIZED BETWEEN PLUSNET SITES. THE AMIS PROTOCOL DOES NOT SUPPORT DIRECTORY

INFORMATION.

To synchronize a remote site directory

1. In the Navigation Pane, click Network > Remote sites, then select the site page.

2. Select Directory Update.

3. Click Search to find and select a remote site.

4. Click Browse next to the Directory Import field to find and select the zipped file.

5. Click Import.

An alert message appears asking if you want to import directory information.

6. Click OK to begin the import process.

The messaging system begins importing the directory. When finished, an alert message appears stating that

directories are updated only during message delivery. You are asked to log out of the system to allow the directory

updates to occur.

7. Click OK to close the alert message.

8. Click Save.
