The backup person can also answer calls that come in after hours by

 

 

programming a Call Pickup button so that he or she can pick up calls

 

 

at the administrator/attendant console. Since the attendant console has

 

 

all the lines of your MERLIN Plus system, the person answering calls

 

 

after hours can pick up calls by touching the Call Pickup button when

 

 

the attendant console rings. (See "Call Pickup.") If the person is in

 

 

another part of the building, the attendant can connect his or her

 

 

console and an extra alert device to a Supplemental Alert Adapter (see

 

 

"Supplemental Alert Adapter" under "Accessory Equipment"), so that

 

 

each time a call comes in, an extra alert device sounds.

CONSIDERATIONS

None

 

ADMINISTRATION

The system administrator must decide who will answer calls that come in after

 

hours and how those calls will be answered.

PROGRAMMING

For programming procedures for Call Pickup, and for Ring Option Override,

 

see the individual entries for these features in this section.

HOW TO USE

For further information on the attendant console, see Section 4, "Using the

 

Attendant Console." If you need help in using the Call Pickup or the Ring

 

Option

Override features, see "Call Pickup" or "Ring Option Override."

 

One-Touch

Dialing

 

 

 

 

DESCRIPTION

In the MERLIN Plus system, there are five features that allow you to dial or

 

 

redial a telephone number with the touch of a button.

 

 

Outside Auto Dial-Dial an outside number by touching a button. An

 

 

 

Outside Auto Dial button can hold a maximum of 16 numbers.

 

 

Auto Intercom-Dial an intercom number with one touch whenever

 

 

 

you want to call someone connected to your MERLIN Plus system.

 

 

System Speed Dial-If your system administrator has assigned a speed

 

 

 

dial code to a frequently dialed telephone number or account number,

 

 

 

you can program the speed dial code onto an available voice terminal

 

 

 

button. Then when you want to dial the telephone number or enter

 

 

 

the account number on a call report, just touch the System Speed Dial

 

 

 

button for that number.

 

 

Last Number Redial—If you have programmed a Last Number button

 

 

 

for your voice terminal, you can touch the button when you want to

 

 

 

redial the most recent number that you dialed.

 

 

Saved Number Redial—If you have Saved Number buttons on your

 

 

 

voice terminal, you can save numbers for later redialing. When you

 

 

 

are ready to redial each of the telephone numbers, merely touch the

 

 

 

Saved Number button on which you have saved that number.
