Introduction - AT&T MERLIN 1030 Installation Manual

Introduction

This installation guide tells you how to install and test your MERLIN™ com-
munications system, Model 1030 or Model 3070. It leads you step by step
through system installation, from a pre-installation checklist to system tests.
You should perform the steps in the order in which they are presented because
many of the earlier steps prepare the system for later steps.
When you complete the steps in this guide, refer to the Administration
Manual: Models 1030 and 3070 (packed with your Feature Module) for program-
ming and administration instructions. Your system may not be fully operable until
you have programmed and administered it.
This guide consists of the following sections:
Getting Started reviews preparation for system installation and includes
a diagram of a simple MERLIN system configuration, identifying com-
ponents and showing them in relation to one another.
Preparing the Network Interface tells you how to prepare the connec-
tion to your outside telephone lines.
