Overview 1

Although the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System is technologically sophisticated and offers state-of-the-art services, it is designed for ease of use and management.

Once Lucent Technologies personnel install and program the system, it should require only a little of your time. If you need to make changes to the system as business needs change, or if there is a problem with the system, you can use the system reference books and get assistance from Lucent Technologies personnel, as appropriate.

When you do need to perform simple system management tasks, there are several easy-to-use tools available to help you. For example, to program changes in the system, you can use a specially designated system telephone that has a display, or you can use a personal computer (PC).
