HOW TO USE

There are three types of Shift buttons, one type on the 7406 voice terminal and two types on the MERLIN 11 System Display Console :

The 7406 Voice Terminal Shift Button

If you have a 7406 voice terminal, you can use the Shift button to use a second feature that you have programmed on a single button.

When the Shift button is in use, the light next to it goes on. When you touch the programmable feature button, you activate the feature programmed on the upper band.

For example, if you have an Outside Auto Dial programmed for your home phone number on the upper part of a button, and a Manual Signaling for the office secretary programmed on the lower part of the same button, you would touch the Shift button on the voice terminal before you touch the Outside Auto Dial button to call your home telephone number.

The Shift Button on the MERLIN II System Display Console

The MERLIN II System Display Console has Station Shift and Line Shift buttons.

The Station Shift buttons allow the attendant or administrator to select the group of stations that the Auto Intercom buttons represent. Station Shift 1 represents default intercom numbers 10 through 49. Station Shift 2 represents 50 through 69 and 700 through 719. Station Shift 3 represents default intercom numbers 720 through 727.

When the attendant wants to place an intercom call or transfer a call to a voice terminal, he or she touches one of the Shift buttons and then touches one of the Auto Intercom buttons in the last four columns of buttons on the console. When the attendant touches a Shift button, the red light beside it goes on.

The console also has two Line Shift buttons for use in administration. With Line Shift 1, the line buttons represent lines 1 through 30. With Line Shift 2, the buttons represent lines 31 through 56.

You must label the feature buttons on the 7406 voice terminal accurately so that you will know which feature you have programmed on the upper part of the button.

Program a feature on the upper band of a feature button on a 7406 voice terminal by first touching Shift.

To use any one of the three types of Shift buttons, follow the appropriate procedure.
