The programming for Multiline Hunt is CO switch dependent. The Lucent Technologies 5ESS and Siemens SSC EWSD switches provide hunting through the Series Completion feature. The Northern Telecom DMS-100 switch provides hunting through the Multiline Hunt Group (MLHG) feature. Contact the local service provider to determine what type of switching equipment is in use and check the appropriate box under the MLH subheading of the Service Configurations section on page 2 of the form.

The MERLIN LEGEND has currently been tested with each switch type in the following configurations:

—Lucent Technologies 5ESS in a linear hunt group

—Northern Telecom DMS-100 in a circular hunt group

—Siemens SSC EWSD in a circular hunt group

Other configurations are possible, but are not guaranteed to work.

Appendix H, “NI-1 BRI Provisioning” provides sample LEC programming screens of the Series Completion and MLHG features. These screens show the fields and parameters for the CO switch and may be forwarded to the local service provider if necessary.

11.Once you have determined your Service Configuration, do one of the following:

■If your Service Configuration will be IOC “S”, check the box beside the IOC “S” selection under the Service Configuration heading, then enter the number of BRI lines that will be provisioned using this package.

■If your Service Configuration will be MLH, check the box beside the MLH selection under the Service Configurations heading.

—Check the box for MLHG (Northern Telecom DMS-100) or Series Completion (Lucent Technologies 5ESS or Siemens SSC EWSD).

—Enter the total number of BRI lines provisioned using MLH, the number of BRI lines provisioned as voice only hunt groups, the number of BRI lines provisioned as data only hunt groups, and the number of BRI lines provisioned as voice/data hunt groups in the spaces provided.

NOTE:

MERLIN LEGEND Release 4.0 does not support voice/data hunt groups with the Siemens SSC EWSD CO switch.

12.Specify the total number of BRI lines under the Number of BRI Lines Ordered heading.

13.If CPN/BN is available with the BRI lines ordered, check the CPN/BN box under the Additional Features heading.

14.Make a copy of the NI-1 BRI Planner for your records and forward the original to the technician who will perform the installation.
