ANNEX 2 : SUMMARY OF THE AVAILABLE EMAIL ADDRESSES
This annex present a summary of available Email addresses when Alcatel OmniPCX Office is
the messaging server (cas 1).
Terminology
- User part: The user part is usually a person's name. The user part may be more than one string,
such as john.smith. It could be also the name of a department, a team like team.research, an of-
fice, etc..
- Domain part: For Alcatel, "alcatel.com" is the "domain_part" in the address, and .com is the do-
main. The domain part tells you the Internet address of the company, and may be more than one
string, such as "research.alcatel.com". ".com", the last part of the address, tells more about what
kind of institution the address belongs to, or what part of the world it's from. For instance :
• ".com" is usually a company or commercial institution
• ".gov" means government site
• ".net" gateways and other administrative hosts for a network
- ".org" private organizations who don't easily fit into other categories
- Internal_domain_name: It is the name of the internal network (LAN) of the company.
- External_domain_name: It is the name of the private domain(s) of the company bought at an
ISP/ASP.
- ISP_domain_name: The company hasn't bought a domain name part. The ISP defines the domain
part. Very often, the domain name part corresponds to the name of the ISP. For example Wanadoo
uses "wanadoo.fr" in France and the user John SMITH will have for email address "john.smith@wa-
nadoo.fr".
- User’s login: The login of an Alcatel OmniPCX Office account is built with the first name and the
surname of the user.The login has the form: first_name.surname. Example: the Alcatel OmniPCX
Office account login for JHN SMITH is "john.smith".
- User’part of a POP3 email address:
• User managed on Alcatel OmniPCX Office: The user has a POP3 account on the ISP email
server. An email address is associated to this account with the format
"user_part@domain_part". Most of time, the ISP's administrator could configure the user_part
and uses the convention "first_name.surname".
- External user: External users are only available if the Alcatel OmniPCX Office email server
mode is configured in POP3. An external user has his private POP3 mailbox by the ISP/ASP.
Alcatel OmniPCX Office doesn’t manage this mailbox (this mailbox is not polled by the Al-
catel OmniPCX Office email server). The user part of the external user's email address should
be in accordance with the address defined by the ISP/ASP's administrator.
- User’s alias: Alcatel OmniPCX Office administrator can define for each user, one or more aliases.
An alias is an alternative name for a user. Example: user aliases for "john.smith" could be "jsm",
"johns", "bigboss", etc...
