P0886629 Issue 1.0

An example of a Dialing Translation Table created using a basic text editor.

There are four distinct steps for installing the Dialing Translation Table file onto the 
Norstar Voice Mail system.  

•

Create a DOS system disk.

•

Create an Autoexec.bat file.

•

Load the Dialing Translation Table file (dial.20) and the Autoexec.bat file onto 
the DOS system disk.

•

Load the Dialing Translation Table file onto the Norstar Voice Mail system.

A DOS system disk is a floppy disk that has system files copied onto it. This type 
of disk is required to automatically load the dialing translation table file onto the 
Norstar Voice Mail system.

To create a DOS system disk:

1. Insert a blank 3.5" disk into the floppy disk drive of a DOS compatible 

computer.

2. Ensure the DOS prompt is on the computer screen.

3. Type  

  and follow the instructions shown on the screen.

Note: The default name for the floppy disk drive is a:. However, on 

computers with two disk drives, the 3.5" drive may be named b:. If the 
drive is named b:, replace a: with b: in the above command. If you are 
unsure of the name of the 3.5" floppy disk drive, check the user 
manuals for your computer.
