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.

There are specific steps that you should follow in shutting down the
UNIX System to avoid damaging the files.
You may need to reboot the UNIX System to recover from certain
errors.
The System Monitor shows the activity and service status of each
voice channel.
After recovering from errors, you may need to place voice channels
back in service. For testing, you may wish to manually place voice
channels out of service.
You should back up the administrative and speech files on a
regular basis so that you have current information in case of a
system failure.
In case of system failure, you need to follow the restore procedures
using the backup files you created.
