CONSIDERATIONS

HOW TO USE

Line Shift Buttons

In menu-driven administration, lines are represented by buttons in the four leftmost columns on the console. As Figure 2-13 shows, there are two pages of 30 lines each, to accommodate the maximum number of lines (56).

In systems with more than 30 lines, a button can represent more than one line. For example, the third button from the top in the leftmost column would represent default lines 801 and 831. When you touch Line Shift 1, the line buttons represent default lines 801 through 830; when you touch Line Shift 2, they represent lines 831 through 856.

Station Shift Buttons

In menu-driven administration, stations are represented by the buttons in the four rightmost columns on the console. Some analog voice terminals may require two station jacks for the Voice Announcement to Busy Voice Terminal or Simultaneous Voice and Data feature and therefore have two intercom numbers associated with them. This means there can be up to 88 station jacks and intercom numbers, although no more than 72 responding stations.

There are three pages of stations, to accommodate the maximum number of intercom numbers. In systems using more than 40 station jacks, a button can represent more than one station. For example, the top button in the fifth column from the left can represent station jacks 1, 41, and 81. When you touch Station Shift 1, the station buttons represent the first 40 station jacks (default intercom numbers 10 through 49). When you touch Station Shift 2, the buttons represent the next 40 station jacks (default intercom numbers 50 through 69 and 700 through 719. ) When you touch Station Shift 3, the buttons represent the remaining station jacks (default intercom numbers 720 through 727).

“How to Use, ” below, describes typical MERLIN II system administration screens and lists abbreviations used on those screens. Once you become familiar with the various screens, you probably won’t have to refer to this manual in order to administer the system.

●Menu-driven administration can only be performed on a MERLIN II system display console.

●You can identify a line or station by touching its line or station button, dialing its line number or intercom number, or dialing its logical ID preceded by a pound sign, e.g., #1 for station 01, #2 for station 02, etc.

General instructions for performing menu-driven administration follow. Keep in mind that you can return to the highest level screen at any time by pressing Conference once.

To perform menu-driven administration:

1 Place the administration overlay over the console.
