Assign ixi-UMS number

Inbound Routing means the delivery of UMS messages to the e-mail inbox of the user.

By means of LDAP, the ixi-UMS Mail Server Connector looks for the call number received by the ixi-UMS Kernel in the Active Directory.

When the UMS number is found, the ixi-UMS Mail Server Connector reads out the accompanying e-mail address of the user and transmits the message to the Exchange Server.

Principally, every user in the company can get one or several fax-, voice- and SMS-numbers assigned therewith.

By Default, every user gets a UMS recipient number, on that all 3 sorts of messages can be received.

The assignment is done directly in the Active Directory. However, the user does not get the extension assigned but an E.164 telephone number.

Remark:

An E.164 telephone number is a number in the so-called canonical format, this means it contains country code, area code, phone number and extension information.

Example: +49 8142 4799123 or +4981424799123 (without all spaces)

By default, the country code, area code and call number depend on the ixi-UMS Kernel site settings. For further information on how the phone number is formed, please refer to the ixi-UMS Kernel Manual under HowTo - Site Settings - Creating the Call Numbers.

When the PBX transmits the recipient number in E.164 format (see ixi-UMS Kernel Manual - ISDN & PBX) or when a call number converter is deployed, you may have to enter the recipient number without blanks.

You can make use of the following fields for assigning the UMS number:

Faxnummer_2010

1. The Standard Fax Attribute and Fax - Other

(LDAP description: facsimileTelephoneNumber, otherFacsimileTelephoneNumber)

The advantage of this field is that you can assign the same UMS-number to several users, because there is no check for duplicates.

Please take into account, however, that a fax generally is considered to be an "original". When several persons shall get access to an inbound UMS message, it is recommendable to set up a "Public Folder" as recipient.

2. Please make use of custom e-mail addresses of the type IXI (recommended)

A Mailserver automatically checks whether such an address has already been assigned to another user.

When you want to distribute incoming UMS messages to several users, please set up a distribution list, to that you assign the address.

You can also assign such an address to public folders and therewith distribute UMS messages to them.

Start the "Exchange-Management Console" and navigate to "recipients". Open the user mailbox an navigate to "email Address". Klick on the +-sign zu create a new email address type "IXI". Type in the UMS number in "Email address".

Other possibilities for the addressing are only supported because of downward compatibility with older Connector versions and are explicitly NOT recommended:

·SMTP Addresses of the kind <UMS Nummer>@<your domain>

·Custom Addresses of the type IFAX

Note:

If the fax recipient number is to be searched in another field, the search string must be adapted.
