Step 10: Access Stratagy Flash

Prior to accessing Stratagy Flash, verify that Stratagy Flash is operational by making a test call 
into the system.

Note

Menu screens detailed in this section are available only in Stratagy Admin version VSA.2G 
or later; however, only VSA.3x can be used with the Stratagy Flash.

1. From the DOS prompt (

C:\VSA3

), type: 

admin

 and press 

Enter

. The Stratagy Admin 

screen displays.

Important!

The Stratagy Admin PC must be configured for the correct serial port in Stratagy 
Admin prior to performing 

Substep 2

.

2. Press 

Enter

.The Stratagy Admin software prompts for the Stratagy Flash’s system password.

3. Type the password (the default is 

Stratagy

) and press 

Enter

.

If a modem is not detected, Stratagy Admin establishes a direct connection (local access) and a 
version of the standard Main Menu displays (

“Main Menu” 

on 

page 4

). Proceed to 

Step 11: 

“Configure Stratagy Flash” 

on 

page 15

.

If a modem is detected, 
Stratagy Flash displays the 
screen shown at right: 

Proceed to 

“Remote Access” 

for instructions on accessing 
the Stratagy Flash remotely.

Remote Access

Stratagy Admin software version VSA.3x has two modes of accessing the Stratagy Flash 
remotely:

Direct Dialing Mode — the Stratagy Flash modem has a dedicated telephone line, enabling you 
to dial into the number directly.

Manual Dialing Mode — the Stratagy Flash modem does not have a dedicated telephone line 
and an operator must transfer the call to the modem number.

Note

Manual dialing requires a standard telephone be connected to the Stratagy Admin PC 
modem.

Direct Dialing Mode

Type the telephone number (50 digits maximum). Do not use dashes (e.g., 9,7678989). Press 

Enter

Once the connection is made to the Stratagy Flash modem, a carrier tone is heard. The Stratagy 
Admin synchs up to the modem. A message reading 

Connection established

 appears 

briefly on the screen and the Main Menu displays. Proceed to 

Step 11: “Configure 

Stratagy Flash” 

on
