In addition to the system maintenance tasks described in this chapter, you can check
important system information from the system manager’s conversation. The system
information summary in the system manager’s conversation gives you the following
information:

✆

The version of Xen Alpha Voice Mail you are using

✆

The system identification number

✆

The available recording time

✆

The current time

✆

The current date

✆

Whether Xen Alpha Voice Mail is currently in day, night, or holiday mode

✆

The number of voice mail ports active

✆

The driver and firmware versions.

When the system has less than 15 minutes of recording time available, Xen Alpha
Voice Mail warns subscribers when they log in to delete unnecessary messages.

When the system has less than 8 minutes of the recording time available, Xen Alpha
Voice Mail does three things:

✆

Stops recording messages

✆

Notifies the system manager that the system is out of recording time

✆

Notifies callers leaving messages that the system is out of recording time

To prevent running out of recording time, regularly monitor the available recording time
in the system information summary of the system manager’s conversation. When the
available recording time approaches 15 minutes, remind subscribers to delete all
unnecessary messages.

To check the system information summary

1.

Access the system manager’s conversation.

2.

Select action 7 and then 4, and listen to the system information summary.
