PROGRAMMING

●Option B — You can program a Call Pickup button and dial the intercom number of the ringing voice terminal.
●Option C — You can program a
If the line on which the call is coming in appears on a button on your voice terminal, you do not need to use the Call Pickup feature to answer the call. You can just touch the line button on which the call is ringing and then lift your handset.
If you want someone in the office, such as a guard, to answer calls that come in after hours, program a Call Pickup button for calls that come in 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 all calls by touching the Call Pickup button whenever the attendant console rings. 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 goes on.
None
You do not need to program Option A.
