In a square system or a behind switch system, tie lines should be
administered as automatic ringdown tie lines. To have the automatic
ringdown act as a dial repeating tie line, you can designate one telephone as
an "answering station" that will answer each incoming tie line call and will
transfer it to the appropriate extension. Calls will then be transferred from
the answering station by the usual transfer procedure.
To setup an answering station, set the ring option on the tie line to "ring" at
the designated answering station phone and to "no ring" at all other
extensions assigned to the tie line. Refer to the MERLIN II Communication
System Installation, Administration, and Maintenance Manual for information
on setting the ring option.
