PF Registration 1
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.)
Release 2.0 Enhancements 1
Refer to

Release 2.0 Notes

for detailed descriptions of Release 2.0
enhancements. Release 2.0 includes all Release 1.1 functionality plus the
enhancements listed below.
Programming 1
Programming enhancements include the following:
■Extension Copy is a feature that reduces programming time by allowing the
use of any extension as a template for programming anothe r extension or
block of extensions through centralized telephone programming.
■Integrated Administration provides a single interface through Integrated
Solution III (IS III) for programming entries common to the MERLIN
LEGEND Communications System and AUDIX Voice Powe r.
■Any SPM Version 2.xx (where xx is replaced by numbers) provides a
Convert function for use in upgrading the system from Release 1.0 or 1.1.
This function converts a backup file from a Release 1.0 or 1.1 system to
Release 2.0 and later format, allowing reuse of existing system
programming on the upgraded system.
■Forced idle reductions keep system interruptions at a minimum. In general,
the smallest necessary component is forced idle during programming
activities. For example, renumbering a single extension idles only one
extension. Only a few systemwide programming activities, such as setting
the system mode and system renumbering, idle the entire system.
Operational 1
System operational enhancements include the following:
■Coverage VMS Off is a feature that prevents incoming outside calls from
going to voice mail. (All other coverage remains active as programmed.)
The feature is programmed extension by extension, either through
extension programming or through centralized telephone programming.
■A Night Service group can be programmed to include either extensions or a
calling group as members. However, you should not program both
individual extensions and a calling group into t he Night Service group,
because individuals will not have a chance to answer before calling group
members do.
