Using the bulletin board 

In our example, we post a message to the bulletin board about a problem with a 
new trunk group, and a Lucent representative replies to our message.

To post a message to the bulletin board:

1. Type 

 and press 

RETURN

.

The Bulletin Board screen appears. There are three pages of message space 
within the bulletin board. The first page has 19 lines, but you can only enter 
text on lines 11-19. The first 10 lines on page 1 are for high-priority 
messages from Lucent Technologies personnel and are noted with an 
asterisk (*). The second and third pages each have 20 lines, and you can 
enter text on any line. The system automatically enters the date the message 
was posted or last changed to the right of each message line.

2. Type your message.

You can enter up to 40 characters of text per line. You also can enter one 
blank line. If you enter more than one blank line, the system consolidates 
them and displays only one. The system also deletes any blank line if it is 
line one of any page. You cannot indent text on the bulletin board. The 

TAB

 

key moves the cursor to the next line. 

3. Press 

ENTER

 to save your changes.

To delete a message from the bulletin board: 

1. Type 

 and press 

RETURN

.

The 

Bulletin Board

 screen appears.
