Setting the Communication Parameters
The Voice Mail is shipped to you with an internal modem. Your calling modem should be set to
2400 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit (2400, 8, N, 1). With software version 9.08 and
higher, the modem mailbox number is 862 at default. (At default, you can reach the modem by dial-
ing
# 8 6 2
at the main greeting.)
To set the communication parameters:
1.
Use a standard communications software program, such as Procomm Plus, to set to 9600
baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit (9600, 8, N, 1). The terminal emulation should be
VT100.
2.
If you are using Windows HyperTerminal:
In Port Settings set Flow Control to None. After changing parameters in HyperTerminal, you
must break your connection (Disconnect) and re-establish your connection (Call).
3.
When you are finished connecting the laptop, go the next section, Connect Voice Mail to the
Telephone System.
To return the Voice Mail’s COM1 or Modem/COM2 to the default setting:
1.
Log into the System Admin Mailbox.
2.
Enter the security code, if required.
3.
Enter
SA
to access the System Administrator Options.
4.
Enter
C1
for COM1 or
C2
for Modem/COM2.
The system responds with the Ready prompt. Ready confirms that the selected COM has been
reset to the default setting.
(C1 and C2 are service options. They are not listed in the SA help menu.)
5.
Hang up.
