The MERLIN Plus Communications System
| The basic MERLIN Plus system supports up to four outside telephone lines |
| and eight voice terminals (MERLIN system telephones). To accommodate |
| your growing communications needs, the system expands easily and |
| economically to support up to eight outside lines and 20 voice terminals. And |
| if your business eventually outgrows even the fully expanded MERLIN Plus |
| system, you can protect your investment in voice terminals, accessory |
| equipment, and training time by moving up to a larger MERLIN system. |
| The paragraphs that follow offer a brief introduction to the system's control |
| unit and voice terminals. The optional equipment you can add to your system |
| is described under the heading "Accessory Equipment" in Section 5, |
| "Reference." |
THE CONTROL UNIT | The control unit is the system's brain. It manages all incoming, outgoing, and |
| intercom call traffic. It makes all of the system's decisions and controls all of |
| the system's responses. For an illustration of the control until with its major |
| components labeled, see "Administration Preview" in Section 3, |
| "Administering the System." |
THE VOICE TERMINALS | A voice terminal is a MERLIN system telephone that provides basic telephone |
| functions and allows you to take advantage of the special MERLIN system |
| features. Your MERLIN Plus system works best with the following voice |
| terminals: |
