  • Page 206: Proxy Mailboxes

    AMIS Networking AMIS Node The remote system (node 33) receives the message and stores it in mailbox 200. An exception occurs if the 33200 destination address also exists on the local Stratagy system. The user must follow the node number with “*” (e.g., 33*200) when entering the destination. This flags the message as an AMIS message and the Stratagy system delivers the message to Gateway mailbox 33 at Los Angeles instead of Dallas mailbox 33200.
  • Page 207: System Identification Number

    AMIS Networking System Identification Number System Identification Number The System Identification Number consists of a country code (the digit “1” in North America), area code, and seven-digit phone number.
