Using and/or Modifying the Password
IDEA provides two password levels to protect the MLV functions:
nLevel One Password lets the user access only the following MLV
functions:  Save, Verify, Archive, and Modify Password.  The default
Level One Password isCTLINC.
nLevel Two Password lets the user access all the MLV functions:
Save, Verify, Restore, Archive, De-Archive, Upgrade, and Modify
Password.  The default Level Two Password is MASTER.
After you use a password to access the MLV functions, you can then
modify the password.  To save a modified password, seeSaving the Setup
Data in Chapter 2.
If you modify the passwords, then forget what they are, you can use the
Load Setup Data commandto load the Internal Default Datafile.  This
file loads the default Level One and Level Two passwords (CTLINC and
MASTER respectively).  For loading instructions, see Loading the Setup
Datain Chapter 2.

Working With the NVM-Series Database
Saving the NVM-Series Database to the Idea Computer
The Easy Mode Save command lets you save (backup) the NVM-Series
database and recordings to the IDEA Host Computer.  This way, you will
have an intact database on hand should the NVM-Series database become
damaged in some way.  To ÒfixÓ the damaged database, you use the Easy
Mode Restore command.  This command replaces the damaged database
with the backed up database.  For details, seeRestoring the Databasein
this chapter.
Before you use the Easy ModeSave command, you should make sure that
the IDEA Host Computer has enough free disk space to hold the backup.
You will typically need about 2-6 MB depending on the amount of
recordings in the NVM-Series system.  If the NVM-Series system has
many Welcome Messages, Instruction Menus, Paging Messages, etc.,
make sure you have closer to 6 MB of free disk space.  If you think the
database is close to 6 MB, you may not wish to back it up via a modem if
the modem will be using a baud rate of 2400 or less.  It would take a very
long time and you may not want to tie up a telephone line for that long.
Instead, you may want to backup the NVM-Series database using the
Archivecommand.  See Archiving the Databasein this chapter.Note:
The Easy Mode Save does not backup the personal mes-
sages in the Guest, Subscriber, Network, and/or Message
Center Mailboxes.

Working With the NVM-Series Database
Verifying the NVM-Series Backup
The Easy Mode Verifycommand checks to see if the data in the 
NVM-Series Save(backup) files on the IDEA Host Computer match the
data in the corresponding source files on the NVM-Series computer.
The Verifyprocedure will work correctly only if you execute it before the
data on the NVM-Series computer changes (i.e., before the NVM-Series
system restarts).  Therefore, it is a good idea to useVerifyimmediately
after you use theSaveprocedure.To verify the NVM-Series database backup:
1.
Access the MLVEasy Mode Menu.  See Accessing the MLV
Functions in Chapter 2.
2.
SelectVerify.
3.
Type Y, press 
ENTER
to start the Verify.Then go to step 4. 
OR

							Restoring the NVM-Series Database
The Easy Mode Restorecommand lets you replace the current
NVM-Series database with an NVM-Series database that was backed up
via the Easy Mode Savecommand.  The Easy Mode Restore command
requires a Level Two password.To restore the NVM-Series database:
1.
Make sure NVM-Series Computer has at least 2 %  disk space avail-
able.  To see how much is available, use the NVM-Series Message
UsageReport.  
If the database backup is large (closer to 6 MB than 2 MB), you may
not want to restore it via a modem if you will be using 2400 baud or
less.  This is because the telephone line will be tied up for a long time
and there is a pretty good chance of losing modem carrier at some
point during a prolonged telephone call.
2.
Access the MLV Easy Mode Menu.  See Accessing the MLV
Functions in Chapter 2.
3.
Select Restore.
4.
Type Y, press 
ENTER
to start the Restore.  Then go to step 5. 
OR
Type N, press 
ENTER
to go back to the MLV Menu.

Computer
The Easy Mode Archivecommand lets you backup the NVM-Series data-
base and recordings to a directory on the NVM-Series hard disk.  This
provides a means for quick recovery in the event of database damage or
misprogramming.  To ÒfixÓ a damaged database, you would simply use
the Easy Mode De-Archive command to replace the damaged database
with the backed up database.  For details, see De-Archiving the Database
in this chapter.  The Easy Mode Archivefeature is accessible using a
Level One or Level Two password. Note:
The Easy Mode Archivecommand backs up all recordings
except personal messages left in Guest, Subscriber, and/or
Message Center, Network Mailboxes.
