Numbering the System
MLX telephone through a Multi-Function Module (MFM). For information about
renumbering jacks, see
The system automatically assigns both extension numbers whether or not the
extension includes an MFM or ISDN terminal adapter. Calls can be placed to both
extension numbers independently.
The MFM can operate as an interface for either a Supplemental Alert Adapter or a
tip/ring device. The Supplemental Alert Adapter (SAA) setting on the MFM is used
when the MFM connects an external alert such as a bell or horn. The tip/ring (T/R)
setting is used when the MFM connects a tip/ring device such as an answering
machine or an analog modem.
NOTES:
When PRI, NI-1 BRI, or T1 Switched 56 lines/trunks are assigned to an MLX jack,
digital data/video stations may use two B-channels simultaneously (2B Data) to
place or receive high-speed data/video calls. For more information on planning for
video applications, see
Release 5.0 and later systems support the use of an MLX port as a Computer
Telephony Integration (CTI) link on Hybrid/PBX mode systems. The CTI link
feature allows CTI applications to interact with the MERLIN LEGEND
Communications System over a local area network (LAN). The CTI link is the
system's hardware and software interface to the Lucent Technologies
PassageWay Telephony Services product, which supports the Windows
Windows NT, Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11 for Workgroups, Apple
OS and UNIX
an MLX port on the system and to a LAN server using Novell NetWare (releases
3.12, 4.1, and 4.11) or Windows NT 4.0 Server or Workstation software (Server is
recommended).
These CTI services enable a desktop computer running a certified PC application
to provide computer-based features to users. Select from ports 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, or 8
on an 008 MLX, 408 GS/LS-MLX, or 408 GS/LS-ID-MLX module. In Release 7.0
and later systems, you can also select ports 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, or
16 on an 016 MLX module. The CTI link port cannot be the potential operator port
or the console programming port.
''System Renumbering''
The system capacity for endpoints is decreased by two whenever an
MLX telephone is used.
In Behind Switch mode, the system automatically assigns two prime
lines to each port on an MLX module — one for the MLX telephone and
one for the device connected to the MFM. If an MFM is not connected to
an MLX telephone or the MLX port is not used, the prime line for the
MFM can be removed. The prime line can then be assigned to another
user.
