Feature description
The Centralized Multiple Line Emulation (CML) feature allows a mixed group
of telephones (analog (500/2500 type) telephones, or Meridian 1 proprietary
telephones) to answer calls ringing at a central DN (referred to as the CML
DN). This function is provided by using the Automatic Call Distribution
(ACD) and Multiple Appearance Directory Number (MADN) features, and
making modifications to the Call Pick-up feature.
Large queues to the CML DN (up to 15 calls) are handled by the ACD
feature, which distributes the calls to members of the CML group.
Small queues to the CML DN (one or two calls) are handled using MADNs
configured on a Meridian 1 proprietary telephone.
Operating parameters
The Centralized Multiple Line Emulation feature is not supported by
Attendant Administration.
