Software installation
This chapter describes how to install the software on a new Meridian Mail
system and set up the system for the System Administrator. Once the software
has been installed on a system, it will only ever need to be re-installed in the
event of a disk drive failure.
After the initial installation, software can be upgraded or converted to a later
release (Chapter 6), restored from backup (page 4-9), or the system can be ex-
panded (Chapter 7).
What you need
• The Meridian Mail software tape, NTAK72xE. (Refer to Table 2-1 on
page 2-2 for the exact part number).
• The keycode for your system. (Refer to Chapter 2.)
The keycode you need is printed on the label on the box containing the Me-
ridian Mail software tape, together with the serial number of the system. If
you are responsible for more than one Meridian Mail system, ensure that you
are using the correct keycode for each. If the serial number of the system does
not match that on the label, the keycode will be rejected.
Before installing the software
The Meridian 1 Option 11 PBX comes with several ACD queues predefined
to process calls to Meridian Mail. These correspond to the default Meridian
Mail DNs described in Chapter 10. If you are installing Meridian Mail on a
newly-installed PBX, there is little chance that someone has changed these
defaults. If, however, you are installing Meridian Mail on a PBX which has
been operating for some time, you must ensure that these DNs have not been
assigned to some other purpose:
