Avoiding Automatic Exit
CAUTION!
The Centigram Series 6 server “times out” after 15 minutes.
This means that if you do not enter anything at the console for
15 minutes, the server automatically exits from the current
program. When this happens, all work that has not been saved
on the disk is lost.
To avoid being timed out and losing your work, follow these steps:
1.
When you need time to think, write down the name of the current menu.
2.
Exit to the (server) Main Menu.
3.
When you want to continue your work, enter the appropriate menu
options to regain your place.

Model 70 Overview
The Model 70 is based on a standard desktop PC cabinet featuring seven available
ISA slots, a 200-watt AC power supply, a 486-66 MHz CPU, an IDE hard disk, a
3.5-inch
bus, and a modular design for quick and easy component maintenance. This server
can accommodate up to seven analog or digital adapter cards with a maximum of 30
ports (24 ports analog/30 ports digital) and up to two 500 MB IDE drives for a
maximum redundant speech storage capacity of 55 hours. (Figure l-l shows the

Product Description
As the block diagram shows, the Model 70 is a PC-like server containing a CPU,
serial port, floppy disk, mass storage, and ISA expansion slots. Three types of ISA
adapter cards can be inserted into the expansion slots: telephony interface cards
(analog and digital interface cards), telephony service cards (Fax), and computer
interface cards (Serial, Ethernet). The telephony interface cards and the telephony
service cards can also be linked to the
h4VIP
bus, which is a special ribbon cable
linking the adapter cards together and allowing them to share resources.
There are two general categories of mailboxes that are available in the servers at
installation: standard (user/owner) mailboxes and special applications mailboxes. All
mailboxes can be

Line Cards
Line cards are the primary interface between the Model 70 and the telephone
network. These cards control all incoming calls, including fax messages. All line
cards support the Multi-Vendor Integration Protocol (MVIP), which enables the
Series 6 server to interface with a wide range of third-party telephony cards.
Line cards are available in four or eight ports configurations, and are full-size AT
cards that plug into empty slots on the Model 70 cabinet’s backplane. There are two
general types of line cards offered: analog and digital. The analog line cards include
(4/8
ports) Loop Start, Ground Start Trunk, Direct Inward Dialing Trunk, and
E & M Trunk. The digital cards offered are Tl (24 ports) Loop Start, Ground Start
Trunk, Direct Inward Dialing Trunk, and E & M Trunk and El (30 ports) An
external -48 volt power supply is also required when using DID, E & M, or Ground

Fax Card
Fax cards handle incoming fax messages and support other telephone interfaces.
When the incoming fax tone is emitted, the fax card performs a “handshake” with
the fax machine that is sending the tone and processes the incoming fax. The Fax
card sends the fax to the hard disk where it is stored for later retrieval or distribution
by the user. For detailed Fax card information, see the Centigram
Reference Manual

Product Description
Distribution lists
A distribution list allows a mailbox user to send the same message to several other
users simultaneously. Mailbox user distribution lists are established over the
telephone. Each list is assigned an individual distribution list number.
Two types of lists are available: mailbox user distribution lists, which are accessible
only by the mailbox owner; and master, or system distribution lists, which are
established by the system administrator and accessible by all users of a line group.
The ability to create, access, or be part of a distribution is determined through class
of service assignments.

There are two types of
Paging notification uses a radio pager to let the mailbox user know in real-time that
there is a message waiting. If the pager is a voice pager, the server delivers the first 30
seconds of the voice message. (Message length is dependent on the pager company.)
It can also send customized alphanumeric messages.
The user can customize this feature so that the server calls up to two primary and two

Functional System Partition Administration (FPSA)
This feature adds a much higher level of security to Series 6 server administration for
both Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) customers and service providers. FPSA is
particularly useful to telephone companies, service providers, and large CPE
customers who want to limit access to operations, administration, and maintenance
(OA & M) functions on a departmental or individual basis. In addition, FPSA
offloads or resells certain administrative functions to restricted groups within your
organizations or within your customer base. FPSA adds security in five ways. First,
it can be activated only by a special diskette, which will be shipped upon request.
Second, FPSA controls access to all parts of the server (administration menus or
QNX) by passwords and user
commands. Fourth, superusers can force system administrators to change their

It belongs to the system administrator and has unique special privileges. These
privileges allow you to perform mailbox adds, changes, and deletes by telephone;
create master or system distribution lists; and record the company or system greeting.
The Attendant mailbox is also included in the preconfigured software installation.
This mailbox contains the “message of the day” greeting and a customized user
tutorial. It is also the mailbox that receives all unaddressed messages (where neither
an extension number nor a user name is entered by the caller).
Broadcast mailboxes allow both users and outside callers to record and send a single
message to multiple mailboxes. Voice and fax messages can be sent via the Broadcast
mailbox. Distribution lists are configured by either the system administrator or the
user. Each broadcast mailbox can send messages to up to 65,535 members.
Chain mailboxes allow callers to enter either the desired extension number, or the
name of the mailbox owner or mailbox number. Once the information has been
entered, callers are transferred to the appropriate mailbox or extension.

Installing New Systems
Set up an equipment log to record server model and serial numbers, the
server configuration and options found on the worksheets provided to you
by your system design engineer, and other information about the server
you might find helpful.
Check the power supply setting. The 200-watt power supply is integrated
into the server to provide power for all resources, drives, cards, and
peripherals. A switch on the back panel is used to set the power supply to
operate at 115 volts AC (in the range of
maximum current) or 230 volts AC (in the range of 200-240 volts AC; 4
amps maximum current). The switch is set at the factory for 115 volt AC
operation. To verify that your server has the correct setting, check the
input power selection switch on the rear chassis. See Figure 2-l for
details.

Replacing
FRUs
Service Strategy
The Model 70 is designed to make installation, system expansions, and service and
repair an easy process. Maintenance and administration, either on-site or remote,
should be performed on a regular basis.
Field repairs are simplified by replacing components within the Model 70. The
eight major components (cabinet, hard disk(s), floppy disk drive, and line cards) are
all field replaceable units
A typical service call to repair a failed Model 70 consists of the following steps:

and usage reports to isolate the fault.
’
Refer to the troubleshooting section of this chapter and follow the
recommended procedures.
4. Remove and replace each major FRU, and try to turn on power to the
server.
5.
If the server boots after a specific FRU has been replaced, return the
defective FRU for repair.

Troubleshooting Overview

This section addresses general hardware troubleshooting, or “corrective
maintenance.”
located in
Detailed hardware and software troubleshooting information is
the Centigram Series G Diagnostics Manual.
This section assumes the Model
70
has been in service and has subsequently failed.
If you experience problems during installation, double check your work to ensure it
was done properly and try to restart the server. If the server still fails, call your
technical support group for additional instructions.
The troubleshooting process is actually a series of linked processes that include
problem recognition, diagnosis, problem or fault isolation, repair, and repair
verification.
General Troubleshooting Procedure
Troubleshooting methods depend on a technician’s experience and therefore can vary
widely. Centigram recommends a systematic approach that you can adapt to most
methods. This approach consists of four phases looped as one continuous process:
l
Verify the Problem: Ask what has gone wrong? Have any changes been
made to the server?
.Isolate the Faulty Unit: Use a process of elimination.
l
Repair the Problem: Make sure you determine how and when to make the
repair.
*.
l
Verify the Repair: Use diagnostic tools to confirm.
In other words, first you need to find out exactly what the problem is. Then you must
consider the cause(s) of the problem. Finally, you have to repair the server and check your
work. To determine possible causes, you might pose the following questions:
