About this guide
The Meridian Mail card option adds voice messaging capabilities to a
Meridian 1 Option 11 system. This guide describes the installation and main-
tenance procedures for Meridian Mail hardware and software.
Assumptions
This guide assumes that the Meridian 1 system hardware and software have
already been correctly installed; that all environmental conditions and electri-
cal requirements have been met; that the system has been correctly config-
ured as a basic, networked, or hospitality system; and that a Meridian Mail
compatible video display terminal has been installed on the Meridian 1 PBX
and correctly configured.
Most of the hardware installation and maintenance procedures require no spe-
cial knowledge or equipment. You should be familiar with basic electronic
assembly and safety procedures. The procedures for installing a networked
system or a hospitality system require you to know how to wire a BIX in-
building cross-connect system or similar modular distribution frame (MDF).
The software installation and maintenance procedures require no special
knowledge. Some of the basic software procedures, however, require you to
know how to use the Meridian Mail System Administrator terminal.
