Mitel NuPoint Messenger Technical Documentation - Release 7.0
Modifying a Mailbox
When you select Modify from the Administration Menu, the server gives the current mailbox
number, class of service, mailbox type, and AC message lamp address, if applicable; then
prompts you for any changes. To leave any value unchanged, press the star (*) key in response
to the prompt. See “Adding a New Mailbox” for coding information.
Setting Mailbox Passcode and Tutorial
You can set or clear the passcode and enable the tutorial for a mailbox by phone. This feature
can be useful for getting new mailbox owners started on the server or for clearing the passcode
for a mailbox owner who is unable to access his mailbox because he has forgotten his passcode.
Setting the Server Clock
You can review or alter the server date and time by phone. This feature can be useful for making
a one-hour correction for daylight savings time.
Performing Backup to Diskette
You can keep backup files on diskettes for record purposes and as a precaution against
inadvertent loss or destruction of the configuration and history files of the server. It is
recommended that you regularly back up your hard disk to diskettes. The server continues to
process calls during the backup process.
The server makes backup files on specially formatted diskettes. One formatted diskette has been
included with the server. If necessary, the server can format additional diskettes as part of the
backup procedure. When purchasing diskettes, use 3.5 inch double sided, high density (1.44
MB). Be sure to label and date all backup diskettes.
To perform a floppy backup by phone, the administrator’s telephone must be close enough to the
server to permit insertion of the diskettes in the floppy disk drive while the server administrator is
on the phone.
Reporting Usage Statistics
The server administrator can get server and mailbox summary usage statistics for 30 mailboxes
at a time over the phone. This procedure can be used in place of running a statistics report during
your weekly maintenance, to determine if you need to do a purge. There are three ways to control
the report:
• Respond to the prompt asking for the first mailbox number. The server reports the server
statistics and starts the mailbox report at the selected mailbox. To cancel the report at this
point, simply do not respond to the prompt.
• Abort the report by pressing any key while the server is reading the statistics.
• Extend the report by pressing C when prompted by the server, after the statistics for the first
30 mailboxes are listed. The server responds by reporting statistics for the next 30 mailboxes.
