Basic Telephones

DESCRIPTION	On-premises basic Touch-Tone telephones can be connected to station jacks
	on a 12-Basic Telephone (012) Module with Touch-Tone Receivers. People
	with these basic telephones can use many of the features of the MERLIN II
	system by using dial codes and switchhook flashes.
	NOTE: The information in this entry applies only to basic telephones
	connected to Basic Telephone Modules. For information on using a
	basic telephone connected to an Off-Premises Telephone Interface
	(OPTI) or a Basic Telephone and Modem Interface (BTMI), see “Basic
	Telephones with OPTI and BTMI” in “Accessory Equipment” at the
	end of this section.
CONSIDERATIONS	● When the system administrator assigns lines or line pools to basic
	telephones, he or she must provide users with a list of codes for accessing
	them.
	● If Night Service with outward Restriction is in effect, people with basic
	telephones cannot enter a Password to make calls. To allow them to make
	after-hours calls, the administrator must assign these basic telephones to
	the Night Service Exclusion list. (See “Night Service.”)
	● Basic telephones can receive ringing intercom calls, but not intercom calls
	with voice announcement.
ADMINISTRATION	You use the same general procedures for administering basic telephones that
	you use for administering standard voice terminals. G-et the completed Basic
	Telephone Station Configuration Forms for the telephones. Then follow the
	instructions under the appropriate entries in this section of the manual to
	assign lines or line pools and to assign Call Restriction, Forced Account Code
	Entry, and Night Service Exclusion, if applicable.
	You can use Centralized Programming to assign features to basic telephones.
	Follow the procedures in the appropriate entries in this section of the manual
	to assign features to basic telephones.
HOW TO USE	Follow these directions to place calls on a basic telephone connected to a Basic
	Telephone Module:
	● If you have a square system, dial 88 to access an outside line. The system
	automatically connects you to the first available line assigned to your
	telephone.
	● If your system has Button Access to Line Pools, dial 9 to access the main
	pool. You can dial 88 to access another available line or line pool, if one is
	assigned to your telephone.
	● If your system has Dial Access to Line Pools, dial 9 and then dial the code
	for a particular line pool. You can dial 88 to access an additional line or
	dedicated line pool, if one is assigned to your telephone.
	● If your system has Automatic Route Selection, dial 9 and then dial the
	outside number. If the administrator assigns an individual line or line
	pool, you dial 88 to access it.
