Drive Voice Mail:
1. To access the Voice Mail program screens from a DOS-based remote PC, change to the
\ directory then type REMOTE and press <Enter>.
REMOTE
2. A screen displays while the program loads and initializes communications. KeyLink then
detects the baud rate set up on the host PC and establishes a compatible connection. This
detection takes several moments.
Once KeyLink establishes a connection between the two systems, the screen refreshes
with a display that shows the host (Voice Mail). The keyboard and monitor of the remote
computer now effectively control the Voice Mail.
NOTE: If a connection cannot be established between the host (Voice Mail) and the
remote PC, verify you specified the appropriate COM port settings during
KeyLink installation. Also verify you are using a Straight through cable.
To break the connection between the remote PC and the host (Voice Mail), press <Ctrl-
Break> on the remote PC's keyboard. The KeyLink program ends its communication
with the Voice Mail, and the remote PC's screen refreshes. To re-establish
communication, repeat steps 1-2.
Note: If you type EDIT to invoke a DOS editor on the Voice Mail, you will invoke a
special editor pre-installed on the card. This editor was developed
specifically for use with a Straight through cable.
Note: For additional information on transferring files between the Voice Mail and
the attached PC, contact technical support.
