Access permissions must be granted to users for the various MCI Mail delivery and handling options before they can send messages through MCILink.

Users are identified by their address comprised of their name and workgroup (ie. <name> @ <workgroup>).

The various delivery/handling options are: Instant, REMS, Postal, Courier, TELEX, and FAX.

Administrator Name & Work Group
───────────────────────────────
The administrator to be identified is the person who manages MCILink and grants or denies access to the various delivery/handling options available with MCI Mail.  The reason for identifying this person is to permit MCILink to create and send ANSWERable messages to a sender who has insufficient access privileges.

The administrator address is any valid deliverable MHS user address in the form:

              <user> @ <workgroup>

The <user> and <workgroup> portions can be up to 8 characters in length.

═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Postmaster Name & Work Group
───────────────────────────────
The postmaster for your local area network is the person who will receive all mail destined to users who are not known by MHS.  This typically occurs when the address specified by the off-LAN sender is mis-spelled.  The postmaster can then decide to forward it to the correct person or discard the mail.

Identify the postmaster in the same fashion as the administrator using a valid MHS address of the form:

               <user> @ <workgroup>

Both <user> and <workgroup> can be up to 8 characters in length.≥	CAGateway Information                               Page 3 of 3

Gateway Password
────────────────
The password is the one prompted for when this MCILink Administrator utility program (MCIAdmin) is being used.  It is required in order to  protect the system information such as user access privileges, communications parameters, MCI Mail account information and connection schedule.

The passwords are never displayed so when you attempt to change it, you will be asked to enter the new password twice in order to verify its correct and intended entry.  Once it accepts the new password, you will be required to enter the old password to insure that you are the MCILink Administrator or authorized person.

MCI ID
──────
Enter your account information received from MCI Mail in their welcome letter to you.  Your account should be registered as an MCI Remote Electronic Mail System (REMS) account.  This is different from a regular interactive account-- one REMS account may serve many LAN recipients.  Actual routing to LAN recipients is performed by the address on the MBX line.

Login Name & Password
─────────────────────
Each MCI ID has associated with it a formal login name and a password.  Enter the login name and password listed on the welcome letter.  The login name may also be referred to as the MCI Mail username.

Activation Code

The activation code will be given to you when you call Computer Mail Services, Inc. (313-352-6700).  You will need to have your MCILINK serial # and your MCI ID ready.  Without a valid activation code, M-Bridge will not connect to MCI Mail.

Telephone #
───────────
Once you have entered a valid activation code, you will need to enter one last piece of information-- the MCI Mail access telephone number.

This selection allows you to control the time period used by MCILink to connect with MCI Mail to exchange mailbags.

══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

MCILink can be set to connect to MCI Mail at specified time intervals determined by the administrator.  The interval is specified in minutes ranging from 0 to 32,000 (approximately 22 days).  

This time interval is not to be confused with the time interval for cc:Mail's Gateway.  Regardless of how short cc:Mail's Gateway interval is, MCILink will not connect to MCI Mail if its own interval has not yet been reached.

The default MCILink interval setting is 60 seconds.  To change this, simply enter the time interval and press <ENTER>.  Then press <ESC> to exit the form and save the interval.

The communications form is needed to inform MCILINK about the communications port your modem is connected to, its baud rate, word length, parity, and stop bits.  You will also be required to select a modem Script file that is responsible for controlling your modem to make the connection with MCI Mail.

If you are unsure of what to set these parameters to, use the following: COM1, 2400 baud, 8 bits word length, No parity, 1 stop bit.  If there is no response from the modem while running MCILINK, then most probably, your modem is connected to some other communications port.

The outbound mail log file contains a historical summary of all mail sent by users within the local area network to MCI Mail.  

It also shows whether that mail attempt was successful or failed due to either improper addressing or access privilege violation.

════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

The system password is any sequence of up to 8 alphanumeric characters used to gain entry into MCIAdmin.  It is the password that is prompted for immediately after invoking MCIAdmin from the DOS prompt.  

As the administrator, you can change the system password by following these steps:

     a) Enter a new one for the field "MCIADMIN password".
     b) Verify the new password by typing it a second time            when prompted to.     
     c) Enter the original password when prompted.

	=;ÄSystem Password
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

A password must first be given before this MCILink Administration program can be used to perform any administrative operations.

If your are running this program for the first time, the passowrd is "mcilink".  After you enter it correctly, you may change this password anytime through the main menu selection "Gateway".

Selecting the retention menu item allows you to specify the number of days logbook entries kept.  All other entries older than these number of days will automatically be removed from the outbound & inbound log files?=╒Retention Period                             Page 1 of 1
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

MCILink automatically deletes old log entries from the outbound and inbound log files to conserve disk space.  

A log entry is considered "old" if it has been retained longer than the retention period (which is specified in days).

A retention period of 0 directs MCILink to retain only those log entries made today (on or after 0:00:00 of today).
