Posting a message
In our example, we post a message to the bulletin board about a problem with a
new trunk group, and an Avaya representative replies to our message.
To post a message to the bulletin board:
1. Type
change bulletin-board and press RETURN.
The Bulletin Board screen displays. There are three pages of message
space within the bulletin board. The first page has 19 lines, but you can
only enter text on lines 11-19. The first 10 lines on page 1 are for
high-priority messages from Avaya personnel and are noted with an
asterisk (*). The second and third pages each have 20 lines, and you can
enter text on any line. The system automatically enters the date the
message was posted or last changed to the right of each message line.
2. Type your message.
You can enter up to 40 characters of text per line. You also can enter one
blank line. If you enter more than one blank line, the system consolidates
them and displays only one. The system also deletes any blank line if it is
line one of any page. You cannot indent text on the bulletin board. The
TAB
key moves the cursor to the next line.
3. Press
ENTER to save your changes.
Deleting messages
To delete a message from the bulletin board:
1. Type
change bulletin-board and press RETURN.
The Bulletin Board screen displays.
2. Enter a space as the first character on each line of the message you want to
delete and press
RETURN.
3. Press
ENTER to save your changes.
