Introduction
Octel Unified Messenger subscribers can use different forms of 
addressing:
From the PC user interface
Subscribers use the Microsoft Exchange directory for addressing 
messages. An address is always unique within the Exchange directory. An 
address entered at any location is automatically available at all locations 
within the organization.   
From the telephone user interface
Octel Unified Messenger supports four custom forms of addressing. 
These four forms are needed because the telephone user interface (TUI) 
does not provide a facility to enter alphabetic characters easily. They also 
reduce the number of digits that are needed to address messages from the 
telephone user interface. The four special forms of addressing are as 
follows:
n
Local mailbox number
n
Dial-by-Name
n
Numeric address
n
OctelNet address
This chapter contains information on the first three addressing schemes. 
For information on OctelNet addresses, see Chapter 5, “Providing 
Interoperability with Existing Octel Servers”.
