AT&T merlin legend manual Setting Your Control Unit, Set switches B through E

SETTING YOUR CONTROL UNIT

The first step in customizing the MERLIN system is to set the control unit to the operating conditions you select.

IMPORTANT If your control unit has been set previously and you just want to change the setting of a particular switch, be sure to read "Changing Your System Later," page 24, before resetting the switch.

Follow these steps to set your control unit:

1.Turn off the control unit by setting the On/Off switch on the Power Module to Off.

2.Set switch A which is located in slot 2 (color-coded purple) on the Pro- cessor Module, to Administer (down).

Switch A controls intercom number 10, which is always the main atten- dant position. Set switch A to the Administer position whenever you need to administer your system from the administrator/attendant console. When you finish administering, set switch A to Attendant (up).

NOTE: Switch A, which sets the mode of the administrator/attendant console, is the only switch on the control unit that you can reset with the power on. If you reset any other switch with the power on, the con- trol unit does not record any of the changes you make until you turn the power off, then on again.

3.Set switches B through E.

Switches B through E control intercom numbers 11 through 14, respec- tively. These consoles normally function as voice terminals, but you can designate any of them as backup attendant consoles. If you designate a voice terminal to function as an attendant console, each outside line appears on a separate button, regardless of whether you select the pooled or square option.

The four voice terminals selected by switches B through E plus the administrator/attendant console (intercom number10) provide a max- imum of five attendant consoles if you need them.

●For those voice terminals that function as attendant consoles, set the switch to Attendant (down).

●For those voice terminals that function as regular telephones, set the switch to Normal (up).

4.Set switch F.

If you have chosen to pool your lines, set switch F toPooled (up) and go to step 5.

lMPORTANT lf you are resetting this switch from Square to Pooled, be aware that you erase all system line administration and voice terminal programming that is now in place.

If you want every outside line to appear on a separate button, set switch F to Square (down). The eight lines plugged into jacks A0 through B2 appear automatically on all non-attendant voice ter- minals. Go to step 6.
