■SPM

SPM enhancements include operation in English, French, or Spanish, faster backup and restore, and automatic onscreen display of reports as they are created, with a Browse capability for reading the reports.

■Equipment

Additional equipment includes the 8102 and 8110 analog telephones, four headsets, two headset amplifiers, and a transparent protective cover for the MLX-10 and MLX-10D telephones. The 8102 and 8110 telephones are also compatible with Release 1.0.

■PF Registration

PF registration number AS5USA-65646-PF-E is assigned by the FCC for operating the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System in Hybrid/PBX mode in the United States. (The PF registration is also applicable to Release 1.0 systems.)

Design Benefits

Modular components allow easy, cost-effective growth in both size and function. For upgrades from the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System, all wiring and analog MERLIN System telephones can be reused. For upgrades from the MERLIN II Communications System, certain trunk and extension modules can also be reused. The modules are 800, 400 (LS), 400EM, 012 T/R, 008, and 408.

Menu-driven system programming maintains the customer’s command of business operations.

Built-in 1200/2400-bps modem allows fast access to the system by customers, Lucent Technologies personnel, or authorized dealers from a remote location for system programming and maintenance.

Flexible mode of operation saves upgrade costs by allowing system configuration in one of three modes: Hybrid/PBX, Key, and Behind Switch. (The factory setting on the 3.0 processor board is Hybrid/PBX.)

Connectivity to other systems in the Behind Switch mode optimizes existing resources by allowing the system to work as part of another MERLIN LEGEND Communications System, System 25, System 75, System 85, DEFINITY 75/85, or other communications system. The control unit can connect to another system’s control unit via either an off-premises telephone (OPT) line or an analog or digital tie trunk.

Digital 2.048-MHz bus supplies a 64-kbps channel on each of the 216 time slots.

68EC020 Motorola CPU running at 16 MHz with zero wait states provides fast system performance.

Memory data retention saves time by ensuring that system and extension programming information is retained for five (5) days, depending on the system configuration, in case of power failure or system shutdown.

Integrated voice and data capabilities allow users to talk while transmitting data at speeds up to 64 kbps.
