HOW TO USE

You use the same procedures for administering basic telephones connected to BTMIs and OPTIs that you use for administering standard voice terminals, Get the completed Station Configuration Forms for the telephones. Then follow the instructions under the appropriate entries to assign lines or line pools and to assign Call Restriction, if desired.

The Station Configuration Forms show what lines and features should be assigned to each telephone in the system. Use the following guidelines to help you assign lines or line pools and features to basic telephones connected to OPTIs and BTMIs.

1 To assign lines or line pools, use the intercom number assigned to the OPTI or BTMI. Follow the procedures in the “Line Assignments” entry for the type of system you have.

2 If you want the basic telephone to have call restrictions, follow the procedures in the “Call Restriction” entry.

3 To program the following features for your basic telephone(s), you can use Centralized Programming or, before you connect the OPTI or BTMI, connect a MERLIN II system voice terminal directly to the station jack to which you plan to connect the BTMI, and program from there.

a If you don’t want the basic telephone to ring on every line, you can specify which lines ring when a call comes in by programming Ringing Options for the telephone. (See “Ringing Options. ” )

b To specify the order in which the system makes lines available, program an Automatic Line Selection sequence for the basic telephone. (See “Automatic Line Selection. ”) Be sure to program Automatic Line Selection only for those lines to be used by the basic telephone.

c Basic telephones can receive ringing intercom calls, but not intercom calls with voice announcement. Therefore, be sure to program Voice Announcement Disable for the telephone. (See “Voice Announcement Enable/Disable. ” )

4 When you are finished programming, leave Centralized Programming or disconnect the voice terminal.

5 Connect the BTMI or OPTI to the same station jack.

6 Connect the basic telephone to the BTMI or OPTI.

Follow these instructions to use a basic telephone connected to a BTMI or OPTI:

●To place a ringing intercom call, lift the handset and dial the intercom number.

●To place a voice-announced intercom call, lift the handset and dial 881, then the intercom number.

●To access particular lines or line pools assigned to buttons, as shown on the Station Configuration Form, lift the handset and dial the codes shown in Figure 2-18. (On a basic telephone connected to an OPTI or a BTMI, dialing the code associated with a button has the same effect as touching the button on a MERLIN II system voice terminal.)
