Managing FCOS

Add an FCOS

  1. In the navigation tree, click Class of Service, and then click Feature COS. The Feature COS list is displayed.

  2. Click Add. The Add FCOS form is displayed.

  3. Do one of the following:

  1. In the Name field, enter a name (up to 15 alphanumeric characters) for this FCOS.

  2. By default, the Category list displays a sorted list of all feature bits. If you know what category contains the feature bits you want to enable, you can expand the Category list and select the category. Only the feature bits that apply to that category appear.

  3. In the Display section, you can select how you want to display the available feature bits (All, Checked, Unchecked).

  4. Select the check box beside each feature bit that you want to enable for this FCOS. Clear a check box to disable the feature. See FCOS Fields Description in the table below for information.

  5. Repeat steps 5 to 7 for additional categories, if required.

  6. To save the FCOS and return to the Features COS list, click Save.

Edit an FCOS (Customize)

Best practices for troubleshooting dictate that you always keep your default FCOS settings intact. If you need to modify an FCOS, we suggest that you copy the most appropriate of the default FCOS into a new FCOS (see "Add an FCOS" above) and modify it there. After you save the new FCOS, you need to assign it to the appropriate mailboxes. If you have problems/conflicts with the new COS, you can always restore the default COS until you have finished troubleshooting.

Delete an FCOS

Deleting an FCOS that is in use by mailboxes will cause all of those mailboxes to be assigned the default (1) FCOS. A warning message will be displayed to allow you to cancel the operation. If you are deleting the default FCOS, the mailboxes that have it assigned will automatically be assigned the next available FCOS. You cannot delete the last remaining FCOS in the system; therefore, you cannot select all FCOS for deletion.

To delete one or multiple FCOS:

  1. In the Feature COS list, select one or multiple FCOS, and then click Delete. The system will prompt you to confirm the deletion.

  2. To confirm the deletion, click Yes to delete a single FCOS or Yes to all to delete all selected FCOS.
    OR
    To reject the deletion, click No.
