ROLM PhoneMail - Revisited

This is a follow-up article in conjunction with Substance's article,
9X_RLMPM.ZIP on ROLM Phonemail systems (So please read 9X_RLMPM.ZIP first
or you'll jizz over outdial!). This will basically show you the easiest
way to set yourself up a VMB on these systems. I do claim to be a good
"doc" writer so if you can't follow this, you have an IQ of 80 or less.
To remind you, this is what a ROLM Phonemail system usually looks like:
CARRIER 1200
ROLM PhoneMail 9252 9254 Microcode Version 5.2
Copyright (C) ROLM Systems 1991
All Rights Reserved.
PM Login>
Older version of PhoneMail will drop you to a "Command %" prompt but for
the most part, use the previous description in identifying them.
Typing "?" at the PM Login prompt will show the valid login accounts.
PM Login> ?
Valid login modes are:
SYSADMIN,
TECH,
POLL.
Possible defaults for these account follow:
PM Login PM Password
-------- -----------
SYSADMIN SYSADMIN,FIELD,TECH,SYS,ADMIN,<ENTER>
TECH FIELD,TECH,SYS,ADMIN
POLL FIELD,POLL,TECH,SYS,ADMIN
PM Login>TECH
PM Password>
Invalid Password.
PM Password>
PM Action> (woo-hoo! ..you're in!)
Once logged in, you will most likely get a "PM Action>" prompt. Typing "?"
displays the following:
PM Action>?
The following commands are valid:
Activate <session #> - Activate the session
Broadcast - Broadcast a message to all terminals
Connect <subsystem> <node #> - Invoke the subsystem
Terminate <session #> - Terminate the session
List - List all open sessions
Logout - Terminate all sessions and log off.
Login <login mode> - Logout and login again.
Display - Display sessions status on a site.
TechView <on/off> - Enable/Disable TechView training.
We first must connect to the subsystem which is where all commands are
invoked to control/monitor the voice mail system. Type "connect":
PM Action>connect
���
Screen 1 - SVI on Node 1 is now active.
You will now be brought to a "Node # - SVI>" prompt. Typing "?" displays
the following.
Node 1 - SVI>?

"Sa" is the System Administration utility. This command can be passworded
(I've found two ROLM PhoneMail systems... one was passworded, one wasn't)
and accounts such as POLL may not have access to this option.

<profiles have been cut out for terseness>
This is usefull especially in this case because you want your mailbox to
blend in with the other. In this case, you would want to set up a mailbox
at box number 3[5678]XX instead of box 1111 or 9999.
The "list" action under system administator function profile, lists a users
profile in complete detail showing all settings with their specified mailbox.

This information can be used as a basis for your information if you're not
sure what to enter when adding your own profile.
Now, let's add our own profile (mailbox). For this, we use the action "add"
under system administration function profile.

Now we have our own mailbox at box #3500. Let's take a closer look at the
steps involved.
Name (last first) : ROLM
Selecting a name. Here, i chose "ROLM" as i thought the System Admin to be
an idiot who would think it is a default box and not to mess with it. A
regular name will blend in well with the others though.
Class Number : 10
Selecting a class number designates what class your mailbox is under.
Certain classes have different options such as being able to have more
messages w/o being forced to delete them or having the dialout feature.
Check out the "ClassOfService" function.
Extension Number [1] 3500
Enter a mailbox number you wish to have which is empty.
Extension Number [2]
If you want to set up more than one mailbox with the same profile.
PhoneMail Password : (Default = ##########):
Enter the password you would like to have. It will not be echoed to
the screen.
Group Name : (Default = ):
Referral Extension : (Default = 0):

Alt Greeting Active?: (Default = FALSE):
Software Mailbox : (Default = FALSE):
Failed Acc Attempt : (Default = 0):
Go with the defaults for a regular mailbox here. They should be set up
correctly.
If you wish to exit, type ";".
First Field of Form:
Name (last first) : (Previous = ROLM): ;
Done.
Name (last first) : ;
Keep smacking ";" to exit.
Now let's verify that the profile was added.
