2.1 INTRODUiTlON

Before the system actually begins processing calls, certain information must be entered to complete the

installation. Information about the company, the telephone system, and mailboxes must be entered.

This section gives you the information you need to customize the VX2 to a particular installation, and

to begin working with the monitor and keyboard. It describes the format of the displays and the

use

of the special-purpose keys on the keyboard.

Navigating the menus can be accomplished by either pressing a designated key, or moving the cursor

to the desired selection and pressing the

ENTER

RETURN

key. The instructions given in this

manual will tell you to press a designated

key.

2.2 SYSTEM MENUS AND SCREENS

The system’s software provides menus for each function. A screen is simply a list of the required en-

tries associated with each task. The screens are used to set system operating parameters, and maintain

the mailbox data base. A sample menu is shown in Figure 2-1.

2.2.1 ENTERING DATA INTO A SCREEN

You must position the cursor at a data entry field in order to input data. Most entries are made in

the form of a yes/no decision, a selection among options, or a name or number. If nothing is entered

in a field when a screen is saved, the system uses the default value for the particular field.

NOTE: Programming instructions in this manual refer to the RETURN key. This key may

be labeled RETURN, ENTER, or just M depending upon the keyboard.
