The MERLIN II System Voice Terminal

The MERLIN II system voice terminal provides the user with basic telephone functions, such as Transfer and Hold. However, in order for the agents to use the Available and after-call-work (ACW) state buttons, and the Manual Signaling, Auto Intercom, Transfer-to-Split, and All-Ring operation features, either you or the agent must program them onto an agent’s voice terminal.

There are two basic types of voice terminals, analog and digital. You may have either or both types in your system. The voice terminals come in different sizes, with various special features and accessories, Use only those voice terminals with programmable buttons.

You can use the following types of analog voice terminals with your CMS:

BIS-10 Voice Terminal

10-Button Hands-Free Answer on Intercom (HFAI) Voice Terminal

34-Button Built-In Speakerphone (BIS) Voice Terminal

34-Buttcm Deluxe Voice Terminal

You can also use the following digital voice terminal with your CMS:

7406 Digital Voice Terminal

NOTE: Although you can attach a display unit to the 34-button BIS and the 7406 voice terminals, a display is not recommended for CMS agents’ voice terminals.

The Analog Voice Terminal

All analog voice terminals have two Intercom buttons, Intercom-Ring and Intercom-Voice. The voice terminals also have buttons with red and green lights beside them that can be used for lines, line pools, or programmable features.

Figure 6-1shows a BIS-10 analog voice terminal. Although your own agents’ voice terminals may have a different number of buttons or have push buttons beside each labeled button, the lines and features you assign to your agents’ voice terminals will probably be similar to the voice terminal assignments shown in Figure 6-1.

The BIS-10 voice terminal has two columns of five buttons located above the dial pad. In the lower leftmost column are two Intercom buttons, Intercom- Voice and Intercom-Ring. The other eight buttons can be used for lines, line pools, or programmable features. The diagram illustrates the voice terminal buttons, lights, and switches that an agent can use to access MERLIN II system and CMS features. For more information about some of the features shown in this illustration, see both “Selecting a Voice Terminal for Your Agents” and “Using MERLIN II System Features with CMS” in this section.

NOTE: The All-Ring operation is unrelated to the MERLIN II system

No Ring feature. See “Ringing Options” later in this section.
