User's Guide To Voice Mail System
Overview
This section shows you how to install the Voice Mail application onto your computer using the ECS Set-up program. The ECS Set-up program is a very useful application, as it allows you to easily add, remove, and update all of your ECS applications. For the scope of this section, however, you will use it simply to install your Voice Mail application.
There are three different instances in which you would install the Voice Mail application:
2. You purchased this application to install on your own computer (i.e., not a computer purchased from ECS).
3. You want to update the version of this application that is currently on your computer with the updated version.

Customer Number |
This is the number that ECS assigns to you. If you need supplies, technical support, or any other assistance, the person you talk to at ECS will ask you for this number. This makes it easier for them to understand your situation, and to decide how best to serve you. |

Software |
The actual applications that install on your computer. If 'Hardware' is the brain, then 'Software' is the thoughts that the brain is thinking. |
If you purchased a ECS computer and Voice Mail at the same time, the Voice Mail software is already properly installed. If you purchased Voice Mail after you received your ECS computer or you do not have a ECS computer, you will need to install the software on your computer.

Before you install Voice Mail, you must have the Business Manager program installed. Refer to the User's Guide for Business Manager for installation instructions, if necessary. |
The Voice Mail application may come as a multiple disk set, or on a single disk, depending on the format. The disks must be installed in order from disk #1 to the last disk. Your 3 1/2" floppy disk drive may be either the A: drive or the B: drive on your computer. Not all computers are the same. Perform the following steps to install Voice Mail: |
