Labels for Stations

DESCRIPTION

When the system is first set up, display messages for intercom calls, Group

 

Page calls, transfer returns, and Leave Word Calling identify stations by their

 

intercom numbers. For example, a display might read:

 

Tfr Ret 18.

 

The system administrator can associate alphanumeric labels such as people’s

 

names or telephone numbers with station numbers so that the displays are

 

more meaningful. If the administrator assigns an alphanumeric label to a

 

voice terminal, that label appears on people’s displays in place of the

 

intercom number. For example, a display might read:

 

Tfr Ret L. Zorn.

CONSIDERATIONS

Only administrators using the MERLIN II system display console can

 

associate labels with station numbers.

 

Any display set will show a station label when the intercom call comes

 

into the console and when the attendant uses the Hold, Transfer, Camp

 

On, and Call Park features.

 

Labels can contain up to 7 characters, including letters, numbers, and the

 

special characters listed under “Administration,” below.
