Changing preprogrammed data
The Meridian Mail Auto-configure feature automatically matches Meridian
Mail mailboxes with telephone extensions. If you have the Meridian Mail
card option and you want to use the Meridian Mail Auto-configure feature,
make sure:
• The numbering plan is consecutive.
• The first number in the Small System and the Meridian Mail system are
the same.
The first number in the numbering plan is assigned to slot 1, unit 0. You may
wish to shift the first number in the numbering plan to a different card slot,
since the TDS/DTR card is preprogrammed for slot 1.
The following procedure describes how to shift the first number in the
numbering plan to a specific card slot.
Procedure 69
Shifting the first number in the numbering plan to a different card slot
1 Locate the first line card. Subtract 1 from the number of the card slot that
it is in.
2 Multiply this number by 16.
3 Take the first number in the numbering plan and subtract the value
obtained in step 2.
Note: When you enter the value from step 3 in response to the prompt
"FIRST NUMBER (XXXX)?" on the administration telephone menu, the
number is shifted to the appropriate slot.
