Installation

Introduction

2

This chapter explains how to install the mail system hardware. It is intended for qualified installers only.

WARNING:

Installation should be performed only by a qualified installer.

Preparing for Installation

Read this entire chapter before you begin the installation. Verify that you have all the required components, and that your installation site meets the requirements specified in this chapter.

You should have a copy of communications system Planning Form B1 that shows extension assignments for the mail system hardware.

NOTE:

Outside of the United States, some telephone networks provide a tone similar to the U.S. busy tone to signal that the far-end caller has hung-up. If the mail system needs to respond to this signal, DIP switches need to be reset on the voice processing cards before the system unit is installed. See Chapter 7, “Upgrading the System.”
