Station Programming
Programming via the proprietary telephone.
Subscriber
A person who has an assigned mailbox.
System Administration
System programming can be performed via 2 ways: (1) Locally (personal computer
connected directly to the RS-232C port of the VPS), or (2) remotely (personal
computer connected via the telephone network and the external modem of the VPS).
Note: Local programming and remote programming are mutually exclusive.
System Administrator
Unlike the Message Manager and the System Manager, who use a telephone to
perform their duties, the System Administrator uses a personal computer to program
the VPS. The System Administrator’s handbook is the Installation Manual.
System External Message Delivery Duration Time
The maximum time allowed for an external message that is to be delivered by the VPS,
specified by the System Administrator.
System Group Distribution List
The VPS can maintain up to 20 distribution lists, each containing a maximum of 20
mailboxes. Each list is referenced by a System Group Distribution List number and is
assigned via system administration. A recording into a System Group Distribution List
number will go into the mailboxes of all group members.
System Manager
(Mailbox 99, 999, 9999, or 99999) The person who can perform very basic and limited
system programming using a telephone. She can create/delete mailboxes, clear
subscriber passwords when they are forgotten, set Class of Service parameters, set
the System Clock, and generate System Reports.
System Report
The System Administrator or System Manager can generate 8 System Reports to
monitor the VPS operating status as required.
TIME
One of the utility commands that is used to confirm or set the time and date of the VPS.
