Modular Messaging—MSS
Modular Messaging—MSS forces the administration of a US-ASCII
name for all subscribers, in addition to the display name, which may
contain non-ASCII characters. Dial-by-Name, when configured to match
the names of recipients, uses this US-ASCII name.
Modular Messaging—Exchange and Modular Messaging—Domino
With Modular Messaging—Microsoft Exchange and Modular
Messaging—IBM Lotus Domino, subscribers have only one name. This
name may contain non-ASCII characters. European accented characters
are mapped to the unaccented character for Dial-by-Name using the name
of the recipient. Alternatively, Dial-by-Name can be configured to use the
e-mail address of the recipient.
All local and remote subscribers can be addressed using Dial-by-Name
addressing.
When callers use Dial-by-Name to address messages or to reach an
extension or mailbox, callers must enter enough characters to allow the
system to reduce the possible matches to be 9 or fewer. The system then
prompts the caller to select the desired entry. For example, the system
plays such prompts as "For John A Smith, press 1. For John B Smith,
press 2, and so on" If there are more than 9 matches, the system will
prompt the caller to enter more characters.

Network address Modular Messaging—MSS subscribers can directly communicate with
other Modular Messaging—MSS subscribers or with non-Modular
Messaging subscribers, by means of a Message Networking server.
Modular Messaging—MSS subscribers can address messages using the
following address forms in addition to the remote subscriber's Numeric
Address:
! Prefix + Remote Number Range set up when administering a
remote Modular Messaging—MSS system on a local Modular
Messaging—MSS system.
— When multiple Modular Messaging—MSS systems use a
Message Networking server as a gateway for LDAP updates,
the Remote Number Range is the Network Address. This
Network Address is the fixed-length (typically seven or ten
digit) number assigned on the Message Networking server.
— When a Modular Messaging—MSS system is directly
administered as a remote machine on a local Modular
