Figure 24: Required Pin-outs for the Straight-through Cable
The Voice Mail is shipped to you with an internal modem. Your calling modem should be able to
connect at 2400 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit (2400, 8, N, 1). With software version
9.08 and higher, the modem mailbox number is 862 at default. (At default, you can reach the
modem by dialing # 8 6 2 at the main greeting.)
To set the communication parameters:
1.
Use a standard communications software program, such as Procomm Plus, to set to 9600
baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit (9600, 8, N, 1). The terminal emulation should be
VT100.
2.
If you are using Windows HyperTerminal:
In Port Settings set Flow Control to None. After changing parameters in HyperTerminal, you
must break your connection (Disconnect) and re-establish your connection (Call).
3.
When you are finished connecting the laptop, go the next section, Connect Voice Mail to the
Telephone System.
To return the Voice Mail's COM1 or Modem/COM2 to the default setting:
1.
Log into the System Admin Mailbox.
2.
Enter the security code, if required.
Enter SA to access the System Administrator Options.
3.
4.
Enter C1 for COM1 or C2 for Modem/COM2.
The system responds with the Ready prompt. Ready confirms that the selected COM has
been reset to the default setting.
(C1 and C2 are service options. They are not be listed in the SA help menu.)
5.
Hang up.
