Configuring Application Servers
4 – 8 ShoreTel, Inc.
Message Desk Number
(1-999)
The Message Desk default is 1. Valid values are 1 through
999. Set the number that the voice mail system expects.
This parameter is most often set to one, since only one
system will be using the SMDI link. In some configurations,
however, a number of SMDI links can be daisy-chained
together and the Message Desk Number value is used to
allow each system to know which data belongs to it.
Number of Digits
(2-32)
This field sets the number of digits the ShoreTel system
sends in the SMDI extension fields. Set this number to the
value the voice mail system expects, most commonly 7 or
10. If the number of digits and the ShoreTel system
extension value differ, the extension number is padded. For
example, if ShoreTel needs to send extension 456 and the
Number of Digits field is equal to 7, extension 0000456 is
sent. If no padding is desired, the Number of Digits field
would be set to 2 in this example. Then, only 456 is sent.
Translation Table
Use for Call Data
This check box indicates that the digit translation table is to
be used for call data, when checked. Both Translation Table
boxes may be checked at the same time.
Translation Table
Use for MWI Data
This check box indicates that the digit translation table is to
be used for Message Waiting Indicator data, when checked.
Both Translation Table boxes may be checked at the same
time.
Extension List
(extension - port -
logical terminal
number)
The SMDI message must contain the user extension, port
number, and logical terminal number (exact trunk
number). Note that these extensions forward to the Backup
Auto-Attendant on No Answer or Busy.

together and the Message Desk Number value is used to
allow each system to know which data belongs to it.
