SELECTING A PERSONAL RING
The MERLIN system offers a choice of eight different ringing sounds for any voice terminal. This feature is particularly useful in offices where many people sit in the same room because it enables people to distinguish the ringing of their voice ter- minals from others. The personalized part of the ring occurs at the end of the ringing pattern, so it does not interfere with the distinctive ringing patterns that signal whether a call is transferred, intercom, or from the outside.
Follow these steps to program a personal ring:
1.Set the voice terminal to program mode by following the boxed instructions on page 30.
2.Touch Speaker repeatedly until you hear the ring you want. There are eight choices.
3.If you have more features to assign, you can do so. Otherwise, slide the T/P switch to the center position to return to normal operation.
PROGRAMMING VOICE ANNOUNCEMENT DISABLE
When your system is installed, all voice terminals can receive either voice an- nouncements or ringing to signal intercom calls. However, some people may not want their intercom calls signaled by a voice announcement. There may also be some voice terminals, such as those in public locations, for which voice announcements are impractical. The Voice Announcement Disable feature makes it easy to suppress voice signals for intercom calls. Voice terminals may be programmed to block inter- com voice messages and automatically ring to signal intercom calls. When this is done, the caller hears ringing instead of the beep that sounds to prompt an announcement.
Follow these steps to program the Voice Announcement Disable feature:
1.Set the voice terminal to program mode by following the boxed instructions on page 30.
2.Touch the
STEADY GREEN ON = Voice signals permitted GREEN OFF = Voice signals blocked
3.If you have more options to program on this voice terminal, you can do so. Other- wise, slide the T/P switch to the center position to return to normal operation.
