port cards.The cabinet will accommodate two digital 4-port cards. (There are no digital 2-port
cards.) For information about digital expansion cards, see “Digital Expansion Cards” on page 7.
For instructions on installing port cards, see “Increasing the Number of Voice Mail Ports” on
page 8.

You cannot install an analog and digital port card in the same system.
Built-in Modem and Communications Ports
The VANGARD Mail system has a 2400 baud modem. To access the modem, you can call into any
Voice Mail port, dial

and the modem mailbox number. (With software version 9.08 and higher,
the modem mailbox number is 862 at default).
VANGARD Mail also has two communications ports: COM1 and CONSOLE/COM2. You can use
COM1 and a terminal emulation software, such as ProCom Plus or Hyper Terminal, installed on a
PC to program the Voice Mail system. CONSOLE/COM2 is reserved for using HOSTKEY for spe-
cial diagnostics or as another way to program the Voice Mail. (See “Using HOSTKEY” on
