摘要:
Method and apparatus for providing a universal addressing plan for a network of voice store-and-forward messaging system sites wherein a telephone numbering plan for a telephone network can be mirrored among the sites in the network, notwithstanding whether the sites utilize the public switched network or on a private network. In accordance with the present invention: (a) network address extension ranges, i.e., a group of related network addresses which relate to one site or which relate to different sites, can have different lengths; (b) a message may be forwarded using either a full network address or a portion thereof (which portion is referred to as a local extension portion); (c) local extensions for different network address extensions range can have different lengths; (d) network address extension ranges can share a common prefix, the ranges being distinguished on the basis of length; (e) network address extension ranges can overlap; (f) users have different network address extension ranges even though the local extension portions thereof may overlap; and (g) a user may be relocated to another site without having to modify his or her network address.
