Authorization Codes and

Remote Call Forwarding

In Release 6.0 and later Key or Hybrid/PBX mode systems, forwarding features, including Centrex Transfer via Remote Call Forwarding, but excluding Follow Me, can be activated or deactivated at a multiline telephone by entering the authorization code for the extension from which calls are to be forwarded. The user enters the authorization code, then activates or deactivates the forwarding feature in the normal fashion. This is especially useful for a single-line telephone user who must include a Pause character in a Centrex Transfer via Remote Call Forwarding dialing sequence, because the character cannot be dialed at a single-line telephone. It is also useful when activating Call Forwarding or Remote Call Forwarding at phantom stations, or via remote access (e.g. from another switch in the network). No other features can be used by entering an authorization code in this fashion.

Release 5.0 Enhancements (June, 1997)

Release 5.0 includes all Release 4.2 functionality, plus the enhancements listed below.

Computer Telephony Integration (CTI)

Beginning with Release 5.0, a PassageWay®Telephony Services CTI link from the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System to a LAN server running Novell®NetWare®software allows Lucent Technologies-certified telephony applications to control and monitor MLX and analog multiline telephone (BIS only) operations. The physical connection for the CTI link is an MLX port on a 008 MLX or 408 MLX module on the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System control unit and ISDN link interface card plugged into the customer’s server. The feature is available for Hybrid/PBX mode systems only.

NOTE:

The NetWare server software version must be 3.12, 4.1 or 4.11.
