Feature and Planning Review
Subscriber Administration Planning
Subscriber administration is a multi-step process, and therefore has multiple
forms that match the data entry process step-by-step. Subscriber administration
follows these steps:
1. The Extension Directory is downloaded from the switch. This information
is used to update the local extension directory used by AUDIX Voice
Power and FAX Attendant. In all cases, the information downloaded takes
precedence if the information in the local directory does not match.
2. Additions and deletions of AUDIX Voice Power/FAX Attendant subscribers
are recorded in the local extension directory and are propagated to the
switch by adding or deleting extensions from the default Call Coverage
group and making other changes as necessary. Physical extensions are
not deleted from the switch database, they are only disconnected from the
AUDIX Voice Power/FAX Attendant configuration. "Special" extensions
that are not part of the System Numbering Plan are added and deleted as
necessary for use in AUDIX Voice Power/FAX Attendant.
You record the basic Extension Directory information on FORM DX in the

document.
3. Once the basic information has been established for an extension, other
operational parameters are requested. This includes whether the
extension has call coverage provided by the switch, whether this is a new
"special" extension, whether an automatic dialing button is to be
programmed for the station set, and the subscriber’s associated private
fax extension. (For additional information, see
Types of Fax Subscribers
later in this chapter.)
You also record this information on FORM DX.
4. The voice associated parameters for the subscriber are entered. You
record this information on FORM DA. (FORM DA is on the same sheet of
paper as FORM DX.)
5. Finally, the fax associated parameters for the subscriber are entered. You
record this information on FORM DF. (FORM DF is on the back of
FORMS DX and DA.)
