Assigning Telephone Buttons

Assigning the kinds of buttons for telephones and direct-line consoles (DLCs) for
a MERLIN LEGEND BRI system is the same as for other releases of the MERLIN
LEGEND system.
In addition to the other kinds of buttons (such as System Access or ICOM,
Personal Line, Pool, and Loudspeaker Page), the BRI Access button used for the
CO Transfer and LASS features can be programmed on a MERLIN LEGEND BRI
system in either the Key or Hybrid/PBX mode:
In addition to the considerations listed in the System Planning guide, consider
these BRI-specific considerations when selecting the types of buttons to assign
to the telephone:
In both the Key and Hybrid/PBX modes, BRI lines are not automatically
assigned to telephones or to DLCs.
In the Hybrid/PBX mode, assign a Pool button for a pool containing BRI
lines that are used frequently. Also consider assigning a Pool button if
Automatic Route Selection (ARS) is not planned and the system includes
only one or two pools to allow the user to select the pool without dialing a
code.
Any BRI line can be assigned as a Personal Line as long as it is not
included in a pool.
In either the Key or Hybrid/PBX mode, a BRI Access button can be
assigned on buttons 1 through 10, the same as with all types of System
Access buttons.
Only one BRI Access button can be programmed per station.
A BRI Access button cannot be programmed on a tip/ring station (such as
a single-line telephone or answering machine).
