System Manual

Welcome...

...to the magic of MERLIN. Your MERLIN® Plus Communications System is

ready when you are. Once it's installed, you can begin using it immediately. You

can use the MERLIN Plus system voice terminals the same way you use ordinary

telephones.

But sooner or later you'll want to take advantage of the system's advanced

technology and customize it to meet your business needs. This manual shows you

how to choose from the MERLIN Plus system's many options and features to

design a system that fits the way you do business. In no time you'll have at hand

the most efficient and economical telecommunications system available for your

business anywhere today...

...and it's amazingly easy to use!

The people in your business can start using their phones right away. Give each

person one of the user's cards at the back of this book for quick reference. Then

have them look through the training guide included in this package when they

have a few free minutes during the day.

If you'll have an attendant handling most of your incoming calls, give that person

Section 4, "Using the Attendant Console," to read.

Now...

...go ahead, make a call!

How to Use This Manual 1-3

The MERLIN Plus Communications System

THE CONTROL UNIT

THE VOICE TERMINALS

5-Button

The basic MERLIN Plus system supports up to four outside telephone lines

and eight voice terminals (MERLIN system telephones). To accommodate

your growing communications needs, the system expands easily and

economically to support up to eight outside lines and 20 voice terminals. And

if your business eventually outgrows even the fully expanded MERLIN Plus

system, you can protect your investment in voice terminals, accessory

equipment, and training time by moving up to a larger MERLIN system.

The paragraphs that follow offer a brief introduction to the system's control

unit and voice terminals. The optional equipment you can add to your system

is described under the heading "Accessory Equipment" in Section 5,

"Reference."

The control unit is the system's brain. It manages all incoming, outgoing, and

intercom call traffic. It makes all of the system's decisions and controls all of

the system's responses. For an illustration of the control until with its major

components labeled, see "Administration Preview" in Section 3,

"Administering the System."

A voice terminal is a MERLIN system telephone that provides basic telephone

functions and allows you to take advantage of the special MERLIN system

features. Your MERLIN Plus system works best with the following voice

terminals:

●

5-Button Voice Terminal

10-Button Voice Terminal

10-Button Hands-Free Answer on Intercom (HFAI) Voice Terminal

34-Button Deluxe Voice Terminal

34-Button Built-In Speakerphone (BIS) Voice Terminal.

All of these voice terminals have buttons for fixed features such as

Conference, Drop, Transfer, and Hold. They differ from one another in the

number of buttons above and to the right of the dial pad that can be used for

outside lines and programmable features. Some also have additional built-in

speakerphones. The illustrations that follow should help acquaint you with

these voice terminals.

The 5-button voice terminal has an Intercom button and four additional

buttons above the dial pad that you can use for outside lines and/or

programmable features.

10-Button

10-Button HFAI

34-Button Deluxe

34-Button BIS

The 10-button voice terminal has an Intercom button and nine additional

buttons above the dial pad that you can use for outside lines and

programmable features.

The 10-button HFAI voice terminal has a built-in speaker that allows you to

answer and talk on intercom calls without liking the handset. It also has an

Intercom button and nine additional buttons above the dial pad for outside

lines and programmable features.

The 34-button deluxe voice terminal has two rows of five buttons located

above the dial pad and two rows of 12 buttons to the right of the dial pad.

You can use the buttons above the dial pad for lines and programmable

features. You can use the 24 buttons to the right of the dial pad for

programmable features. The system attendant usually has this model voice

terminal.

The 34-button BIS voice terminal has a built-in speakerphone that allows you

to answer and talk on both outside and intercom calls without using the

handset. Above the dial pad are an Intercom button and nine additional

buttons for outside lines and programmable features. The 24 buttons to the

right of the dial pad can be used for programmable features.

Programming a feature onto a voice terminal is easy. Just follow the simple

programming instructions in the entry for the feature in Section 5,

"Reference," on the User's Card, or in the Training Guide.
