Step 2: Administering Your MERLIN II System for CMS

SETTING BASIC
OPERATING CONDITIONS
FOR YOUR SYSTEM
Certain MERLIN II system settings, features, and options affect CMS
operation. This section describes how to administer those aspects of the
MERLIN II system.
Read the descriptions of the settings, features, and options described in the
following pages, and make sure you have administered your MERLIN 11
system accordingly. If you aren't responsible for administering your
MERLIN II system, ask your MERLIN II system administrator for help.
Instructions for administering the MERLIN II system are in Section 4,
"Administering the System, " in the
Administration Manual.
As you set the basic operating conditions for your MERLIN 11 system,
integrating CMS into the system requires special consideration as you set the
system's size and designate certain intercom numbers for attendant consoles.
Set the System Size
For CMS to operate properly, your MERLIN II system must be set to "large,"
regardless of how many outside lines it has.
Designate Attendant Consoles
As the "Station Jacks" side of your MERLIN II system Planning Form
indicate, the CMS PC requires two intercom numbers that correspond
attendant station jacks on the MERLIN II system control unit, and your CMS
supervisor's attendant console (the MERLIN II System Display Console)
requires one such intercom number.
Make sure that you (or the MERLIN II system

administrator) designate both intercom numbers assigned to the PC as
attendant stations. Follow the procedure under the heading
"Designate Attendant Positions" in Section 4, "Administering the
System, " in the
Manual.
CMS requires that both the CU1 and CU2 ports at the back of the PC be
connected with cables to the MERLIN II system control unit at

must be located on the same
have an 8-station jack capacity–either a 408 line/station module or a 008
station module. The possible attendant ports are the first and fifth jacks from
the bottom on either of the analog modules. If the system had only analog
modules mounted on the control unit, the attendant port intercom numbers
would be 10 and 14, 18 and 22, 26 and 30, and so on. However, do not use
ports 10 and 14 for the CU1 and CU2 attendant ports; intercom 10 is for the
system console.
A typical configuration, for example, would have the supervisor's MERLIN II
System Display Console connected to intercom 10, and the CU1 and CU2
ports would be connected to intercom numbers 18 and 22 on the second
circuit pack module.
If non-analog modules occupy the control unit, the jack numbers that are
assigned to it cannot be used by CMS. For example, if an 008D module
occupied slot 2 (followed by an analog module in slot 3), its station jack
numbers are 18 through 25. The CU1 and CU2 attendant ports would be
assigned to jack numbers 26 and 30 on the analog module in slot 3.
