Set up AxessoryTalk NT Voice Mail to
use a Mapped Drive to Save Database Programming #
At default, the programming is saved on floppy disks which
does not give you a lot of storage space. By using this procedure you can point
the B: drive of the voice mail to a drive like our P: drive on our network.
In order to map to a
network drive it is very dependant on how the particular network is built. This
process works on our network but may not work on another.
Set up AxxessoryTalk NT Voice Mail - printable version.
1. Power up and "CTRL-alt-DEL". Log in as the administrator. Default username
is "Administrator". Default password is <blank>.
2. Right click on the "Network Neighborhood" icon (image
1). Click on "Properties" (image
2). Click "Change computer name" (image
3) and workgroup or domain based on how your network server is setup by
your network administrator. In our example I changed the computer name to "TrainingVM"
and it is logging in to all workgroup named "notes" (image
4) Click "OK".
3. Click the protocols tab (image
5). TCP/IP protocol should be highlighted. Click "Properties" (image
6). Change the settings for IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
based on how your network server is set up by your network administrator. In
our case I use a static IP of 10.20.1.203, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and default
gateway of 10.20.1.255 (image
7). Apply the changes and close the network configuration window. At this
point you must shut down the machine and restart for changes to take effect.
4. After restarting and logging in as administrator, double click the "Network
Neighborhood" icon. You should see other computers that are logged in to your
work group.
5. Go to "Start"-"Programs"-"Axxessory Talk"-"AVDAP Configuration Utility"
(image
8). Change AVDAP IP address from blank to the IP address of the machine.
If you use the pulldown arrow to the right of the AVDAP IP address field it
should show you the IP address of the machine (image
9).
6. After selecting IP address, go to "Settings" and "Save" (image
10). Go to "Settings" and then "Exit".
7. Go to "Start"-"Programs"-"Administrative Tools" (common)-"User Manager"
(image
11).
8. This will give you the user manager screen showing 2 users created by WIN
NT at default. They are "Administrator" and "Guest" (image
12).
9. Click "User" and then "New User"
(image 13).
10. Create a new user. I named the user "Backup1", with password "Backup1".
I also unchecked "User must change password at next login" and checked "Password
never expires" and checked "User cannot change password" (image
14).
11. Click on "Groups. Add Backup1 user as a member of the "Administrator" group
(image
15). Click "OK" then "OK" again. Then close the manager screen.
12. Double click "My Computer". Double click the C: drive icon. Right click
on the C: drive folder and create a new folder (image
16). I named mine "Backup1" (image
17).
13. Click the folder icon "Backup1". Right click. Select "Sharing" (image
18).
14. Set "Backup1"folder properties to "Shared As" name is "Backup1" (image
19).
15. Click "Permissions" then "ADD" (image
20).
16. Click "Administrators" and change type of access to "Full Control" (image
21). Hit "ADD", then "OK" (image
22). Chose "OK" again and close the folder until you get back to the WIN
NT desktop.
17. Double click "My Computer". Go to the C: drive icon and select "AVDAP folder"
(image
23).
18. Right click in AVDAP folder and create a new text document (image
24). Name it "AVDAP.opt".
19. Double click on the AVDAP.opt icon. Type in: "-MAP_B=\\(machine name)\(folder
name)". In my case the line reads, "-Map_B=\\TRAINING VM\Backup1" (image
25). This saves this file as AVDAP.opt.txt which the voice mail will not
recognize. To fix this, close all folders and go to "Start"-"Programs"-"Command
Prompt". This brings you to a DOS window. Type "CD AVDAP" then the "enter" key.
Type "Rename AVDAP.opt.txt AVDAP.opt" then type "Exit" (image
26).
20. Open the Control panel and double click the "services" icon. Click on the
AVDAP service then click "stop". Answer "Yes" to stop AVDAP service (image
27).
21. Double click on the AVDAP service. Change the log on as button from "System
Account" to "This Account"
22. Change the account name from "Local System" to the backup user account
that was previously created. In my case I use the "TrainingVM\Backup1" (image
28). Also, you must overwrite the password and confirm password field with
the password of the user account. In my case it is "Backup1". Hit "OK".
23. Highlight the "AVDAP Service" then click "Start" to start the service (image
29). 24. In phone system programming, when you do a save Axxessory Talk,
select the B:\drive as the destination. Data will be saved to the "Backup1"
folder that was created (image
30).
