SYSTEM SUPERVISOR AND SUBSCRIBER GUIDE 9.0 VER. 1
1-4
This document discusses how you can make modifications to mailboxes and Routing boxes,
which are the two most commonly used box types. Because these other types of boxes are
used in conjunction with more intricate system setups, adjusting their functionality is best left
to a certified VP system technician. Therefore, if you find you need to adjust the operation of
any boxes other than mailboxes or Routing boxes, contact your VP system technician.
Note: All VP system products use the same software design, but each has
different limitations on the number of boxes allowed on the system and
whether the system includes an attached keyboard and monitor, which
allows a system supervisor to make modifications from the system’s PC unit.
Information provided in this manual is designed to accommodate all VP
system types. Therefore, certain sections and procedures may not be
applicable to certain VP system users.
1.2 Understanding Supervisor Responsibilities
The tasks a system supervisor may need to periodically perform are summarized in the table
below. The procedure for completing each of these tasks is detailed in this guide.
Note that most administrative functions can be performed by the system supervisor over the
telephone, by simply calling into the VP system and logging into a supervisor mailbox. Other
functions, however, must be performed from the VP system PC because they require the
supervisor to make adjustments to fields on VP system program screens.
Some VP systems do not include a keyboard and monitor. Therefore, functions on these
systems that require screen modifications cannot be completed by the system supervisor. If a
particular task requires keyboard input, it is identified as such in the table below. If you
cannot complete a particular task you must perform because the system does not include a
keyboard and monitor, contact the VP system technician.
