GET A PRINTOUT OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM

•If adding more stations, and if there is a jack field for them, you may need to enlarge that jack field. If no jack field exits, one may have to be built, especially if there are to be more than 30 stations, since a jack field would be the preferred method of connecting that many stations to the control unit. See “Jack Field Wiring” on page 2-33 for instructions that will enable you to enlarge or build the jack field.

Recall that the maximum number of stations is the following for the different MERLIN II systems:

>Feature Module 1 =72

>Feature Module 2 = 88 (72 responding stations)

>Release 3 = 120

Before you change the existing system to upgrade it, get a printout of the existing system settings so that you can later restore any voice terminal programming and system administration that will still apply to the new system. To get a printout from the administration menu, foIlow these steps:
