VOICE TERMINALS

Use the System Configuration Form to record information about the following:

●Dial Signals

●Long Distance Dialing

●Voice Terminals

●Outside Telephone Lines

The following information should help you make the appropriate entries for your system on the System Configuration Form.

Touch-Tone telephone lines can carry both Touch-Tone and rotary (pulse) dial signals. But rotary-only telephone lines cannot carry Touch-Tone dial signals. If you don't know whether your outside telephone lines are Touch-Tone or rotary-only, ask your local telephone company.

The MERLIN Plus system is set to generate Touch-Tones when you dial an outside call. This means that if one or more of your outside telephone lines can transmit only rotary (pulse) signals, you have to set the system for rotary dialing during system administration. Otherwise you won't be able to dial out over the rotary-only lines.

NOTE: If some of your outside lines are Touch-Tone and some rotary, you may want to ask your local telephone company to replace the rotary lines with Touch-Tone lines.

Under "Dial Signals" on the form . . .

Check the box next to "Touch-Tone" if all the outside telephone lines connected to your system are Touch-Tone lines.

Check the box next to "Rotary (Pulse)" if one or more of the outside lines connected to your system are rotary-only lines.

Under "Long Distance Dialing" . . .

Check the box next to "Toll-Prefix" if you have to dial a toll prefix

(1 or 0) before the area code when you dial the telephone number for a long distance call.

Check the box next to "Area Code Only" if you do not have to dial a toll prefix (1 or 0) before the area code when you dial the telephone number for a long distance call.

Each MERLIN Plus system voice terminal (telephone) in your system will have a two-digit intercom number. These intercom numbers allow easy dialing between phones within the system.

The intercom numbers for a system with 10 or fewer voice terminals run from 10 to 19. For a system with more than 10 voice terminals, the intercom numbers are 10 through 29.
