WINDOWS KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO INSTALL AND SUPPORT
COURIER
To install and support the PanaVOICE Courier, it is necessary to have:
•  A basic working knowledge of Windows 95/98/NT.
•  Familiarity with the task bar, the ‘Start’ button, and how to use Windows Explorer.
•  A comfort level with using the ‘mouse’ and a cursory knowledge of right and left
‘mouse’ button controls.
•  An understanding of ‘Network Neighborhood’ properties and TCP/IP settings.
If the system is to be installed onto a network with client software installed remotely, such
as the Courier UI (User Interface) or the Mail Quest, a more extensive familiarity with
Microsoft networking will be needed.

ABOUT THE COURIER VOICE PROCESSING SYSTEM
The PanaVOICE Courier Voice Processing System is a comprehensive Automated
Attendant and Voice Mail application designed to deliver solutions for almost any
customer application.  The Courier line is comprised of three distinct systems, and is
based on Microsoft’s Windows Operating System to take full advantage of Microsoft’s
multi-tasking capabilities and tools.
Each Courier platform can be configured as a stand-alone system to provide robust voice
processing functionality, or can be connected to your office Local Area Network (LAN).
Each Courier platform comes equipped with a Network Interface Card (NIC), so even if a
company is not LAN-ready today, the Courier is.  Each platform utilizes this NIC for
different functions, which are explained later.
The three distinct Courier platforms have been designed to meet individual market
segments and customer applications from both a hardware standpoint, as well as
software.  In addition, the various PC’s and components have been configured to meet
with our pricing strategy for these three segments.
The following information will give you a general understanding of these three platforms,
including some detailed information on the hardware specifications:
Courier  –   Suitable for all In-Band integrated systems.  Panasonic API integration
includes all functionality excluding telephone display screens.  Two to eight ports.
Ports terminate in RJ-14 phone jacks.  Windows 98 SE operating system.
Courier Plus  –  Suitable for all In-Band integrated systems.  Panasonic API
integration includes all functionality including telephone display screens.  Four to 16
ports.  Ports terminate in RJ-14 jacks.  Windows 98 SE operating system.
Courier UMS  –  Suitable for In-Band integrated systems.  Panasonic API
integration includes all functionality including telephone display screens.  Four to 32
ports.  Ports terminate in RJ-14 connectors.  Windows NT Workstation Operating
System.
All station connections to Courier voice processing systems will be analog.  Ideally, you
will terminate the voice mail extensions into RJ-14 jacks.  A single phone cord can then
run from the Courier to the wall jack for each two ports installed.
