About system settings _________________________________
System settings control overall system behavior. Before you can add Strata CS
trunks or users, you must define your system settings using the tabs in the System
Settings dialog box. You can use system settings to customize Strata CS as your
system develops.
To open the System Settings dialog box, choose
Tools > System Settings.
This chapter assume you have already entered the required licenses (see
Chapter 3) and describes how to create system settings by using the following
tabs in the System Settings dialog box:
n General. Use to set number of rings before answering, set hold audio,
generate tones using software, select default language for system prompts,
set up Windows NT Event Log notifications, and define business hours.
n Call Log. Use to set configuration and archiving options for the Call Log
(see “Using the Call Log” on page 11-7).
n Storage. Use to view current disk usage and set locations for backups of
voice files and the database (see “Monitoring database and disk usage” on
page 11-11).
n Dialing. Use to set up access codes for the dial-by-name directory and
trunk access. Also use to set default access codes and dialing timeouts.
