Setting Up Community Sending Restrictions

A communityis group of subscribers to whom you have assigned some type of calling restrictions. The administration of communities enables you to further define the allowed call destinations of your subscribers.

You create a community to prevent members from:

• Sending mail to other groups

• Receiving mail from other groups

For example, imagine that you have just set up two communities. Community 1 cannot send messages to international communities. Therefore, you assign the subscribers who cannot have international access to Community 1. Community 2 has international access. Therefore, you assign the international machines and the individuals who are permitted to access international numbers to Community 2.

Then you administer the communities so that Community 1 is restricted from sending messages to Community 2. This process tells the messaging software which subscribers can and cannot access international destinations.

Once you have administered all communities here, you can assign individual subscribers to the desired community from the Manage Subscribers page. You can also assign machines to communities that are using the Machine Profile screen and the change machine machine_name command.
