Configuration

There are three areas of configuration that need to be covered:  configuring the VeMail feature in System Configuration, configuring the network, and configuring the mailboxes.

System Configuration

Configuration of the VeMail feature is covered in the System Configuration section (under Features).

Mailbox Configuration

To use VeMail for a given mailbox, you need to assign the Auto Forward to Email message delivery template to the mailbox on its Message Delivery property page.  Please refer to the Mailbox Administration section for instructions on how to do this.

Network Configuration

VeMail requires a 10/100/1000 Base-T network connection using TCP/IP.  Most modern motherboards come standard with at least one built-in network connector (typically accessed on the back of the PC); if you are installing a software kit on a system that does not include a network connector on the motherboard, you will need to install a network adapter card in the PC.

All network settings should work fine as configured by the manufacturer. Any changes to them will require that the PC be rebooted.  Only a qualified network administrator should modify network settings.

Note:  As each network is unique, exact settings may vary from those shown.

TCP/IP Settings

By default, the voice messaging system (VMS) is configured to acquire an IP address via DHCP.  Although you can assign a static IP address to the machine if you need to for some other reason, it is not necessary to do so for VeMail to function properly.

Computer Name

The default computer name assigned to the VMS by the manufacturer is DVSERVER.  You do not need to change this name for VeMail to function properly.

Domain

By default, the VMS is configured to log into a workgroup labeled WORKGROUP.  This is sufficient for all functions supported by the VMS, including VeMail.  If you wish to configure the system to log into a domain on your network, you may do so, but it is not required.
