Supervisory Functions Over Phone

 

Introduction

Although Messaging is designed with a comprehensive set of system screens, you can perform many of the system's supervisory functions through the telephone. Thus, the System Administrator is not restricted to his or her desktop PC when the need arises to perform supervisory functions. A set of prompts guides you through these functions.

Hint: This chapter contains key information relating to the system’s remote functions.
