AMIS Mailboxes
Stratagy implements AMIS by using two specific mailboxes – Gateway and Proxy – that contain
information and direction about a remote voice mail system or node. The node identifies itself to
Stratagy by a local telephone number (i.e., System Identification Number) that is sent to the
receiving voice mail system during the transmission process.
Remote mailboxes, whether represented by Proxy mailboxes or through Gateway mailboxes, can
be members of distribution groups.

Gateway Mailboxes

Each system in the AMIS network must have a unique mailbox address called a node. The only
requirements for a node number is that it be one~eight digits long and be unique. For example, the
Stratagy system's Gateway mailbox at the Dallas office might be node "40," while the Stratagy at
Los Angeles might be "33."
To send a message to another Stratagy system user using a Gateway mailbox, you must enter the
Stratagy system's node number plus the addressee's User ID mailbox number.
For example, when a user in the Dallas office (node 40) sends a message to mailbox 200 in Los
Angeles (node 33), the destination address is: "33200." Once the message is addressed and sent, the
local Stratagy system (node 40) does the following:
1. Accesses its Gateway mailbox (node 40) and uses the information stored there to contact the
remote voice mail system (node 33).
2. Provides some handshake signals requesting mailbox 200.
3. Audibly transmits the message.
