| Defining an ELA Class of Service
> The following task contains instructions for defining a Class of Service (COS) for ELA. If you previously created a Class of Service for ELA when you created other system Classes of Service, skip this step. Before you perform the following tasks, ensure that you have an unused Class of Service that you can define for ELA. To verify that there is an unused Class of Service, view the list of Class of Service names and verify that at least one Class of Service has an n under Modified?.
> Note: The ELA COS can be used only for ELA mailboxes.
> To administer a COS for ELA: Start at the Messaging Administration main menu and select Messaging. Enter your login. The system then displays the AUDIX Command Prompt screen. At the `enter command:` prompt, enter change cos COS_number, where COS_number is the unique Class of Service you want to use for ELA. For example, enter change cos 8. The system displays the Class of Service screen, page 1. Although not required, it is recommended that you change the name of the COS to be more descriptive; for example, enter ELA in the `Name:` field. Write down the COS number. You will need it later when you administer the ELA server. If you would like ELA to be able to distribute call answer messages, enter call-answer in the `Type:` field (under `PERMISSIONS`:). Otherwise, enter none.
> Note: If you administer your system so that ELA mailboxes are accessible only by direct addressing and later decide you would like some ELA mailboxes with call-answer capability, you do not need to create two Classes of Service. Administer the ELA COS to be call answer, but administer the ELA mailbox extension only as a number on the switch if and when you decide to allow call answer messages to be distributed to the members of that enhanced list.
Make sure that the following fields are set to y: Priority Messages, IMAPI Access, IMAPI Message Transfer, Fax Creation, and Trusted Server Access. Press F7 (NextPage). The system displays the Class of Service screen, page 2. Enter the following information: 14 in the `Retention Times (days), New:` field. (This setting acts as a safety measure, should ELA encounter an operational problem and cannot send messages for a couple of days.) 14 in the `Retention Times (days), Old:` field. (Ordinarily, there are no old or unopened messages. ELA forwards old/unopened messages in the event service is interrupted.) 14 in the `Retention Times (days), Unopened:` field. (Ordinarily, there are no old or unopened messages. ELA forwards old/unopened messages in the event service is interrupted.) nufda in the `Outgoing Mailbox, Category Order:` field 0 in the `Retention Times (days), File Cab:` field 1 in the `Delivered/Nondeliverable:` field 6 in the `Maximum Mailing Lists:` field 1500 in the `Total Entries in all Lists:` field 32767 in the `Mailbox Size, Maximum Length:` field Press F3 (Enter) to save the information in the system database. The cursor returns to the command line, and the system displays the following message: `Command Successfully Completed`. Top of page
