Task 12: Test the Connection
This section describes tests that check the operation of the AMIS Analog
Networking and/or Message Delivery features. Use these tests as the final step in
administering the AMIS Analog Networking and/or Message Delivery features, or
to troubleshoot a problem with the network.
NOTE:
When you initially administer the AMIS Analog Networking, Message
Delivery, and/or Outcalling features, a system restart is the best way to
ensure the system is updated correctly. However, anytime you have trouble
getting the network to work, you may try restarting the system as described
in Task 7 to see if that corrects the problem.
Task 12A: Testing an AMIS Analog Connection
You can test the AMIS analog connection either by sending a test message to the
destination machine (see the section for an example), or you can use the AMIS
loopback test mailboxes (if administered).
1. Contact the system administrator at the remote AMIS machine to:
— Get the number of the remote AMIS loopback test mailbox (if one is
administered), or an extension to send a test AMIS message to (if
one is not).
— Give the remote system administrator the number of your AMIS
loopback test mailbox, and request that he or she send you a test
message.
2. From your own extension, log into the local system and create an AMIS
message with the remote machine’s loopback test mailbox address (or the
alternative test extension). Schedule the message for immediate delivery.
(If the remote system’s loopback test mailbox receives your test message,
it will send a copy of your message back to your incoming mailbox as a
new voice mail message.)
3. Wait a few minutes, then check your mailbox:
— If the message could not be delivered, you will have a new voice
mail message notifying you that the message was undeliverable.
Access your outgoing mailbox (press ) and play the
undeliverable
message header to find out the reason the delivery
attempt failed. Depending on the error message, correct the most
likely problem. Verify the intended recipient’s address and
administration, then return to this section to try another test.
— If the local system could successfully deliver the message, the
message status in your outgoing mailbox is updated to
delivered
. If
the message has not yet been delivered (it is still
undelivered
),
check your mailbox again later to see if the status has been
updated to
delivered
.
