MERLIN MAIL Voice Messaging System is available in 2-port and 4-port configurations. Both models have four hours of message storage capacity.

You can use up to eight jacks on a 012 basic telephone module for

.

MERLIN MAIL. If you use all eight jacks for MERLIN MAIL, you cannot connect any other devices to the module.

When using fewer than eight jacks, you can use the remaining jacks for tip/ring devices.

When a mailbox user receives voice mail messages, the Message LEDs on his or her telephone is on, provided that a physical telephone has been assigned to that mailbox.

Trunks to be answered by MERLIN MAIL should be programmed for reliable far-end disconnect.

Callers who dial from rotary telephones cannot use MERLIN MAIL features.

The system may need more touch-tone receivers if:

■Single-line telephone users do not get a dial tone.

■MERLIN MAIL fails to transfer calls.

■Calls fail to ring or go to coverage prematurely.

■Message-waiting lights fail to light.

MERLIN MAIL and AT&T Attendant should not be used on the same system.

Programming of MERLIN MAIL is through a touch-tone interface.
