Using the Recovery CD
Introduction In the event of a major problem, such as a hard drive failure, this procedure will
enable you to restore the Voice Mail system to its factory default settings using the
Recovery CD that was shipped with your unit. If you have performed a recent
archive of your Voice Mail system files, you can also restore most of the system
settings to their latest configuration.
Materials
Required The following items are needed in order to restore your site to its original
configuration:
■ The VoiceSupport LX Recovery CD. This disk will re-install the Operating
System and Voice Mail application software, and will set all system
parameters to their factory default values.
■ A copy of your recently archived Voice Mail system files.
■ A VGA monitor and keyboard

1) Connect a VGA monitor and keyboard to the VoiceSupport LX unit.
2) Power on the unit and insert the VoiceSupport LX Recovery Disk into the CD-
ROM drive.
