Programming System Functions Via Computer

PC Accessibility
Cable Connection -- The cable between the Flash-based Voice Mail card and the PC must be
a straight-through cable. For information on remote programming, refer to
Programming & Maintenance Connection" on page
Lift the cover of the STSe unit to access the programming port.
After connecting the cable to the PC, plug the other end into the programming port on
the Flash-based Voice Mail card.
Desktop or Laptop -- Programming is accomplished through the use of a laptop or standard
PC desktop system. No special software is required. Any communications package that
supports ANSI terminal emulation will work (e.g., HyperTerminal or ECOM). The required port
speed and protocol is 9600 BAUD, 8-N-1.
If HyperTerminal is the communications package to be used, after opening HyperTerminal
and the New Connection screen displays, perform the following steps before programming:
1. Type the desired name for your connection, select the desired icon, then click on OK.
2. When the "Connect To" window displays, change the setting in the "Connect using" box
to: COM1 or COM2 (as required by your PC), then click on OK.
3. Once the COM1 Properties window displays, change the following settings:
a. Bits per second = 9600
b. Data bits = 8
c. Parity = None
d. Stop bits = 1
e. Flow control = None
4. Click on OK.
5. The HyperTerminal connection is now configured properly for programming the
Flash-based Voice Mail.
6. Type in the administrative password (default=0000) to access Programming Menus.
Navigating in the System
Programming the Flash-based Voice Mail requires that you make entries in specific fields on
several programming screens.
These screens are accessed from the main menu by either selecting a number and
pressing the <ENTER> key or by typing the number and pressing the <ENTER> key.
STARPLUS STSe - Programming & Operations Manual
By default, HyperTerminal uses "Auto-Detect" for the terminal emulation
mode. Though this does not normally cause a problem, the "Auto-Detect"
setting can be changed to ANSI to avoid the terminal emulation mode
changing in the process of administering the voice mail system. To change the
setting, click on the HyperTerminal File>Properties option, click on the Settings
tab, use the Emulation dropdown menu, then click on the ANSI option.
