Chapter 3:
Running the Setup Utility

Running Setup

You must configure Amanda to work properly with your telephone switching system and 
to let Amanda know your customer’s voice mail and other preferences. The Amanda 
Company provides the Setup utility to make configuring Amanda easier. 

You run Setup to configure dial codes, tone patterns, DTMF integration patterns, and 
Amanda’s system configuration options.

To run Setup:

1.

If Amanda is running, shut down the Amanda system:

a.

Press Alt+S.

b.

Type in the password. (The default is AMandA with only the first two and the 
last letter capitalized.)

c.

Press Enter.

d.

Press Y (to confirm the shutdown).

e.

Press Y again (to reconfirm).

2.

Change to the AMANDA directory—unless you are there already. At the DOS 
prompt, type:

CD C:\AMANDA

Then press Enter.

3.

Now that the DOS prompt reads C:\AMANDA, type:

SETUP

Then press Enter.

The Amanda Configuration Utility menu appears.

4.

From this menu, you define the following for your telephone switching system and 
Amanda:

•

Telephone System Dial Codes

•

Telephone System Tone Patterns

•

System Integration Patterns

•

System Configuration Options
