Using the bulletin board
Issue 5 October 2002 53555-233-506
Using the bulletin board
Avaya MultiVantage allows you to post information to the bulletin board. You can
also display and print messages from other switch administrators and Avaya
personnel using the bulletin board. Anyone with the appropriate permissions can
use the bulletin board for messages. Only one user can post or change a message
at a time.
Whenever you log in, the system alerts you if you have any messages on the
bulletin board and the date of the latest message. Also, if Avaya personnel post
high-priority messages while you are logged in, you receive notification the next
time you enter a command. This notification disappears after you enter another
command and reoccurs at login until deleted by Avaya personnel.
You maintain the bulletin board by deleting messages you have already read. You
cannot delete high-priority messages. If the bulletin board is at 80% or more
capacity, a message appears at login indicating how much of its capacity is
currently used (for example, 84%). If the bulletin board reaches maximum
capacity, new messages overwrite the oldest messages.
NOTE:
The bulletin board does not lose information during a system reset at level 1
or level 2. If you save translations, the information can be restored if a
system reset occurs at levels 3, 4, or 5.
