Installation guide

3-2 Software installation
Meridian Mail Card Option Release 9.0
1 Log on to the Meridian 1 PBX. (Refer to page 4-1.)
2 Print a hardware location report by following the prompts in Table 4-4 on
page 4-17; and, using the hardware location table on page 10-2, verify that
the default hardware location DNs have not been reassigned or altered.
3 Print an ACD queue report by following the prompts in Table 4-3 on
page 4-17; and, referring to the parameters listed in Table 4-5, “Creating
a new Voice Messaging DN,” on page 4-18 and Table 4-10, “Creating a
new service DN,” on page 4-21, ensure that the default service DNs
have not been reassigned or altered.
4 If the values in these reports are different from those in the appropriate
tables, you can do one of two things:
a. Reassign the services that are currently using the DNs. (Refer to
Meridian 1 option 11—Administration Guide.)
b. Change the DNs to DNs which are not in use, by following the pro-
cedures in “Changing the default Meridian Mail DNs” on page 4-12.
Automatic and manual configuration
Depending on the options you choose, auto configuration can set up a series of de-
fault users, the default services listed in Chapter 10, and the automated attendant
described in Meridian Mail Card Option—System Administration, The Basics.
It has, however, come to the attention of Northern Telecom that the standard
default numbers are being circulated among a growing population of tele-
phone “hackers” who log on to voice mail systems and use them to cause
trouble or make long distance telephone calls.
With this in mind, you have the option of manually configuring your own val-
ues for these features, after installing the software.
Default data fill
During software installation you are prompted as follows:
Do you want default data fill?
To automatically configure your system, choose “yes.” If you choose “no”
you must manually configure the system after the software installation is
complete. If you choose “yes,” you still have the option of later changing
some or all of the default data fill values.
