System Overview
The MERLIN® II Communications System is a programmable digital telephone system with many features to make voice and data easy to manage. It supports up to 56 outside lines and 120 stations, depending on the configuration. Voice terminals allow access to the system for conversations, feature programming, or system administering. By connecting an optional printer to the system, the user can receive a detailed call report of each station’s activity and a printout of all system administration.
The MERLIN II System is designed to handle integrated voice and data calls without reducing system capacity. It can support various terminal types: analog voice terminals, digital voice terminals, and digital data terminals. It also supports the new 7102A
Data and voice options are implemented by selecting the appropriate station module. There are three types of station modules: analog modules for analog voice terminals, basic telephone modules for 7102A, 2500, or 500 sets, and digitaI modules for digital voice terminals and data devices. Station modules, used with system accessories, allow the user to select from the simplest method of voice and data communication to complex arrangements such as data calls between two digital stations and modem pooling.
