Once you have assigned lines to a basic telephone, be sure to provide the

 

person using the telephone with a list of the codes for the lines he or she has

 

access

to.

 

Basic telephones are able to receive ringing intercom calls, but not intercom

 

calls with voice announcement. Therefore, you must program the Voice

 

Announcement Disable feature for the telephone.

 

In order to program Voice Announcement Disable, Ringing Options, or an

 

Automatic Line Selection sequence for the basic telephone, the system

 

administrator can use either the Centralized Programming feature on the

 

administrator/attendant console or program a substitute MERLIN Plus voice

 

terminal plugged into the voice terminal jack designated for the OPTI.

ADMINISTRATION

If your responsibilities do not include system administration, skip this

 

information.

 

1 Assign lines to the basic telephone:

 

a

Enter administration mode by sliding the T/P switch to P and touching

 

 

Administer.

 

b

Dial the intercom number or touch the Auto Intercom button for the

 

 

basic telephone that you are administering.

 

 

A green light comes on next to the Auto Intercom button. Green lights also come on next to

 

 

the buttons of any lines already assigned to the telephone.

 

c Touch the line buttons so that the green light next to them shows the

 

 

line assignment you prefer.

 

 

Green light on = the line assigned to the telephone

 

 

Green light off = the line is not assigned to the telephone

 

2 To restrict the type of calls that the basic telephone can place:

 

a

Touch Restrict until the green light next to it shows the code for the

 

 

call restrictions you want the telephone to have:

Steady green light = Unrestricted (all calls permitted)

Flashing green light = Toll resetricted (local and intercom calls)

Green light off = Outward restricted (intercom calls)

b When you are finished administering the basic telephone, touch

Administer.

The console beeps twice.

c Leave administration mode by sliding the T/P switch to the center position.

3 Then connect a MERLIN Plus system voice terminal directly to the control unit voice terminal jack to which you plan to connect the OPTI. (You can also program the basic telephone by using the Centralized Programming feature on the administration/attendant console. For more information on this feature, see "Centralized Programming.")

4 Program this substitute telephone for Voice Announcement Disable: a Slide the T/P switch to P.

b Touch the Intercom button until the green light next to it goes off.
