System Management Operations

System management operations are primarily concerned with retrieving messages from the General Mailbox.

Retrieving Messages from the General

Mailbox

The General Mailbox handles overflow fax messages. Overflow indicates that the subscriber’s mailbox is either too small, or is not being emptied out on a regular basis. The General Mailbox Service Administrator is responsible for delivering messages to the appropriate subscriber and deleting them from the General Mailbox.

The General Mailbox functions like any other mailbox. To collect the messages left in the General Mailbox, log in as 9999. The default password is 1-2-3-4.
