ADMINISTRATION
HOW TO USE
If your responsibilities do not include system administration, skip this information.
If you do not want the basic telephone to ring on every line, you can specify which lines ring when a call comes in using Ringing Options and programming the lines for immediate or no ring.
You can also specify the order of lines for the phone by programming an Automatic Line Selection sequence. Be sure to program Automatic Line Selection only for those lines to be used by the basic telephone.
Basic telephones are able to receive ringing intercom calls, but not intercom calls with voice announcement. Therefore, you must program the Voice Announcment Disable feature for the telephone.
In order to program Voice Announcement Disable, Ringing Options, or an Automatic Line Selection sequence for the basic telephone, you 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 BTMI.
For more information on assigning lines and features for a basic telephone, see "Basic Telephones."
