Ringing/Idle Line Preference

DESCRIPTION

CONSIDERATIONS

When the MERLIN II system is first set up, all voice terminals have the Ringing/Idle Line Preference feature. When you lift your handset or touch Speakerphone, the system automatically connects you to a line. And when you receive an outside call, the system automatically connects you to the ringing line when you lift your handset or touch Speakerphone.

If you prefer, you can disable this feature. If you do, you must touch a line button to answer an incoming call and select a line for outgoing calls.

For related information, see also “Automatic Line Selection” and “Ringing Options” in this section.

●If you receive many calls, the disable option prevents you from accidentally disconnecting an incoming call by touching the button for a different line.

●If you want to place an outside call while one of the lines on your voice terminal is ringing, touch the line button of the line you want to use. When you lift the handset or touch Speakerphone, the MERLIN II system connects you to the line you have selected.
