## Listing LCOS

To display a list of all LCOS that have been created:

- In the navigation tree, Class of Service and then click Limits COS.

## Add an LCOS

1. In the navigation tree, click Class of Service >Limits COS. The LCOS list is displayed.

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

3. Do one of the following:

   - Copy an existing LCOS by selecting one from the list and clicking the Copy from button. The parameters of that LCOS will be copied into your new LCOS, which you can then edit as required. The Next Available LCOS number is automatically applied.

     OR

   - Chose to manually select all limits for the new LCOS

4. In the Number field, enter a number for this LCOS, or click Next Available to automatically assign the next number.

5. In the Name field, enter a name (up to 15 alphanumeric characters) for this LCOS. For example, "Passcode Expiry" for an LCOS that controls users passcode expiry period.

6. To manually select values for limits, or to edit the limits values in a copied LCOS, see LCOS Fields Description in the tables below.

7. To save the LCOS and return to the Limits COS list, click Save.

## Edit an LCOS

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

## Delete an LCOS

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

To delete one or multiple LCOS:

1. In the Limit COS list, select one or multiple LCOS, and then click Delete. The system prompts you to confirm the deletion.

2. To confirm the deletion, click Yesfor a single deletion or Yes to allfor a range.

   OR

   To reject the deletion, click No.

## Assign a New LCOS to a Mailbox

- Follow the procedure to edit a mailbox and when instructed to edit mailbox parameters, enter the new LCOS on the Class of Service tab.

## LCOS Fields Description

Number | *Required field. Determines the number of the new LCOS. You can manually enter a number from 1-640 as long as it is not already assigned to an LCOS. You can also click the "Use next available number" link to have the system assign the next available number to the LCOS. | Enter a number in the range of 1-640. The number must not be already used for an existing LCOS. Or click the "Use next available number" link.

(Limits values drop-down list) | Limits are organized into 12 categories in this drop-down list. You select a limit in the drop-down list to modify it. For every limit, you must enter a numeric value within the allowed range (see the Limits Values table). Entering 0 means unlimited unless otherwise specified in the table. When creating a new LCOS, limits are assigned a default value, as described in the following table. | See Parameters and Default Values.
