Installing a CTI Link

A brand-new, 4-pair cable must be installed. No reuse of wire is supported. Proper Systimax hardware must be used, including cords and connecting blocks.

Hardware Requirements

There are no new hardware requirements in Release 5.0 of the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System.

The CTI link plugs into an available port on an 008 MLX or 408 MLX module. However, the firmware vintage for the module must be other than 29. An earlier or future vintage must be used for CTI link operation. If the firmware vintage is 29, the link administration is prevented and the System Programming screens tell you that the firmware 29 cannot be used.

A summary of the installation procedure is provided below:

These steps should be followed in order. Step 2 cannot come before
