3-60 MERLIN II System Features
The following numbers are reserved for system use and cannot be used
for flexible numbering: 7, 76, 77, 78, 760 through 783, and 7600 through
7839.
If a flexible number is invalid or conflicts with a number already assigned,
the console beeps.
There are some unused numbers already available that you can assign to
stations without initializing. The numbers are 784 through 799, 857
through 869, 876 through 880, and 888 through 889. If you can use
discrete numbers, or random sets of numbers, you can use these numbers.
Tie line inward dial plan numbers can be flexibly renumbered to either
three or four digits. See "Tie Lines" later in this section for the
administration procedure to renumber the inward dial plan.
