24 ◆ Chapter 1: Quick SetupAspire Mail and UltraMail System Guide
Installing the Admin Program
Setting the IP Address for Network Communication
Compatibility Guidelines:
■ Entering an IP address that contains a succession of nines (e.g., 999) requires voice mail software ver-
sion 11.07 or higher. In earlier versions, the voice mail would hang up in the middle of data entry if
the code contained a succession of nines.
The Admin program uses TCP/IP protocol to communicate with the voice mail application over the LAN.
For Aspire Mail Plus and UltraMail 2000, to communicate over the LAN you must set the IP address and
subnet mask before installing the Admin Program. These options do not apply to Aspire Mail and Ultra-
Mail (Flash-based) PCBs (or if you are connected to the PCB’s serial port). Check with your IT Manager
before entering data for this option.
■ The IP Address is the TCP/IP identity of the Aspire Mail Plus or UltraMail 2000 PCB on your LAN.
■ The subnet mask distinguishes addresses of computers on your LAN from those outside your network
(e.g., on the internet or a private WAN).
- For example, in the default TCP/IP address (192.168.1.250) with a 24-bit subnet mask, 192.168.1 is
the “masked” part of the address and describes the IP address of your network. The UltraMail PCB
address is 250.
If Admin sends a message to a computer with an IP address that is on your network (i.e., its
address begins with 192.168.1), it communicates directly with it (peer to peer).
-
If Admin sends a message to a computer with an IP address that is not on your network (i.e., its
address does not begin with 192.168.1), it forwards its response to your

The gateway address is the address in the site router to which all outbound traffic is routed. The gateway
address is required in order for the Admin Program to communicate with computers not on your LAN (i.e.,
over the internet or a private WAN). With Aspire Mail Plus and UltraMail 2000, to communicate over the
LAN you must set the gateway address, even if you don’t want to remotely program Aspire Mail Plus and
UltraMail 2000. If there is no router at the installation site, use the Admin TCP/IP address entered above
(see Setting the IP Address for Network Communication on page 25). This gateway address option does not

Upgrading the Hardware
Installing the 2 Port to 4 Port Software Upgrade
Overview
Upgrading the Hardware
Installing the 2 Port to 4 Port Software Upgrade
Compatibility Guidelines:
■ Entering an Authorization Code that contains a succession of nines (e.g., 999) requires voice mail
software version 11.07 or higher. In earlier versions, the voice mail would hang up in the middle of
data entry if the code contained a succession of nines.
This procedure allows you to expand your 2 port UltraMail (P/N 17712) or Aspire Mail (P/N 0891032) PCB
to 4 voice mail ports. This is a software upgrade procedure (P/N 0891044) and does not require that you purchase and install any additional hardware. To upgrade your 2 port PCB to 4 ports:
■ Following normal procedures, purchase the 2 Port to 4 Port Software Upgrade (P/N 0891044).
■ Go to Part 1 below and get your voice mail Configuration Code.
■ Contact NEC Unified Solutions Customer Service (800-365-1928 or elynch@necunified.com) with this
code. They will provide you with your 2-Port Expansion Authorization Code.
- To email your Configuration Code, go to Emailing the 2-Port Expansion Authorization Code to Customer Service on page 44.
■ Go to Part 2 below and enter your 2-Port Expansion Authorization Code. This will unlock ports 3 and 4
on your PCB.
■ Reset the PCB. Refer to Installation in 28i/124i and DS2000 on page 3 and Installation in Aspire on
page 11 for more.
■ Program the telephone system to include the 2 new ports in your voice mail setup. See Programming for
more. (This step is not required for DS2000.)

Description
Announcement Mailbox Callout
Announcement Mailbox
An Announcement Mailbox plays a pre-recorded announcement to callers. The Announcement Mailbox is
typically set up to provide information to callers (such as company directions) and then route the caller back
to the Automated Attendant. For example:
■ The Automated Attendant answers and instructs the caller to dial a digit (e.g., 1) for company directions.
■ The caller dials the digit and listens to the prerecorded Announcement Mailbox message for directions.
■ After listening to the directions, the caller automatically routes back to the Automated Attendant.
OR
The caller can route instead to a Next Call Routing Mailbox for new dialing options.
An Announcement Mailbox can optionally call a predefined number and broadcast the recorded Announcement Mailbox message. You can program the times of the day and days of the week you want the callout to
occur, as well as how often you want the broadcast to repeat during the callout period. You could, for example, set up Announcement Mailbox Callout to make a daily service announcement in a department store.
Monday through Friday at 11:00AM, the voice mail could automatically broadcast, “Our cafeteria is now
open for lunch.” Additionally, 15 minutes before closing a separate Announcement Mailbox could broadcast,
“We will be closing in 15 minutes. Please bring your purchases to the nearest checkout.”
Typically, Announcement Mailbox Callouts route to the telephone system paging zones or a customer-provided paging system connected to an unused trunk port.
