Naming Rules
Getting Started with ADMIN

always enter the full name of a specified node name. Qualified names must also
include any required separator periods in the pattern.
A pattern is like a wild card, but it does not have to identify a unique name. When
you enter a pattern for a list of names, ADMIN displays only the names that match the
pattern.
Some examples of patterns are shown in Table 2-2.
Table 2-2. Patterns for Listing Names
Pattern Used Explanation
SMITH* Enter this pattern to request a list of correspondents at your node whose
names start with the letters SMITH. You might do this when you have
forgotten the name of an individual, remembering only that it was SMITH-
something (Smithers, Smithfield, Smithson, or Smithwick, and so on).
JONES_* @CHIC Enter this pattern to request a list of all correspondents at the node named
CHIC whose last names are JONES. This example assumes that the
correspondent naming convention at your site is
LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME.
T* Enter this pattern to request a list of all your distribution lists or folder
names (depending on the screen) that begin with the letter T.

Naming X400
Correspondents
In order for TRANSFER correspondents to communicate across a public X.400 network
with users of messaging systems other than Tandem systems, both the TRANSFER
correspondents and the foreign correspondents must have special user names
compatible with the X.400 protocol.
These user names must uniquely identify X400 correspondents within a regional,
national, or even international community of correspondents. This requirement
dictates a more complex addressing scheme for X400 correspondents than for local
TRANSFER correspondents, who can be identified with a simple name or, at most, a
simple name and node name.
X400 names must include not only the correspondent's surname and given name but
also the correspondent's country and administrative domain (ADMD). An X400 name
may also include a private management domain (PRMD), organization and
department name, additional domain attributes, and even some comments. These
