MERLIN MAIL*	Page 8-21

Trunks to be answered by MERLIN MAIL* should be programmed for reliable far-end disconnect.

Callers who dial from rotary telephones cannot use MERLIN MAIL* features.

The system may need more touch-tone receivers if:

■Single-line telephone users do not get a dial tone

■MERLIN MAIL* fails to transfer calls

■Calls fail to ring or go to coverage prematurely

■Message-waiting lights fail to light

MERLIN MAIL* and Lucent Technologies Attendant* should not be used on the same system.

Programming of MERLIN MAIL is done through a touch-tone interface.

MERLIN MAIL* has an EIA-232-D serial port and an external modem to support remote diagnostics.

You cannot use the first four logical IDs on a 008 OPT module to physically connect telephone equipment; however, you can use the extension numbers of these logical IDs for phantom extensions.

Additional touch-tone receivers (TTRs) may be needed for the 012 or 016 (T/R) module to handle a large number of voice connections.

The MERLIN MAIL† unit can be desk- or wall-mounted and should be placed in an area with low humidity and proper ventilation.

Follow the power and ground procedures for T/R telephones that require auxiliary power.
