3-122 MERLIN II System Features
The Simultaneous Voice and Data feature allows you to set up a connection
between your own computer terminal and a local or remote host computer.
You can continue to place or receive calls without interrupting your data call
to the computer.
For information about using digital data with the MERLIN II system, see the
MERLIN II Communications System Release 3 Data Communications Guide.
To use this feature, you must have a General Purpose Adapter and a
modem connected to your analog phone, not a basic telephone.
For a telephone to use this feature, you must assign the phone two
consecutive analog phone jacks on the control unit.
You can assign either the Voice Announcement to Busy Telephone feature
or the Simultaneous Voice and Data feature to a phone. Since both
features require two consecutive analog phone jacks, a phone cannot have
both features.
You should assign the voice/data station pair to an odd-numbered analog
station jack and the next higher even-numbered analog phone jack. The
intercom number of the phone connected to these jacks is the intercom
number corresponding to the odd-numbered station jack.
NOTE: Odd/even refer to control unit jack numbers not intercom
numbers.
You cannot use a Hands-Free Unit when the Simultaneous Voice and Data
feature has been administered.
