NOTE: Ask your system administrator if your system has Automatic Route Selection (ARS). If it does, follow the procedure for making outside calls in the next section, “Automatic Route Selection.” Neither of the above procedures works for you if your system has ARS.
Automatic Route Selection
If you have Pool Access buttons, your MERLIN system may have Automatic Route Selection (ARS). Ask your system admin- istrator if your system has ARS.
ARS automatically selects an administered route for each out- side call you make using a Pool Access button. For example, if you touch Pool Access and dial a long distance number, ARS may select WATS as the route for your call. In this case, ARS automatically routes your call onto a WATS line.
To place an outside call using ARS:
●Touch a Pool Access button.
This signals ARS to expect an outside call.
●Lift your handset.
●Dial the outside telephone number you want.
You hear beeps instead of
●Wait a few moments.
If you hear a faster busy signal than normal:
●Touch the same Pool Access button you used to begin your call.
