Planning; Planning Overview - AT&T MERLIN LEGEND Reference

Planning

Planning ensures proper use of the Basic Rate Interface (BRI) features offered
by the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System. This chapter contains
guidelines for the following:
Placing the modules
Connecting the BRI lines to the system
n
Selecting options for those lines
Assigning lines to the stations
Only those options that involve MERLIN LEGEND BRI lines are contained in this
guide.

Planning Overview

Planning for a MERLIN LEGEND BRI communications system is the same as for
other releases of the MERLIN LEGEND system, with some exceptions. Only
those differences and planning form instructions for BRI lines connected to the
800 CO-BRI module are contained in this chapter.
Refer to the System P/arming guide (555-620-112) to make the appropriate
decisions and planning form entries for other types of facilities (loop start,
ground start, etc.) connected to the system.
On a new system, all lines connected to the system should be planned
simultaneously to save time.
