Release 2.0 Enhancements

Release 2.0 includes all Release 1.1 functionality plus the following
enhancements:
Programming enhancements include the following:
Extension Program Copy
time by allowing the use of any extension as a template for
programming another extension or block of extensions through
centralized programming.
Integrated Administration provides a single interface through Integrated
Solution Ill (IS-III) for programming entries common to the MERLIN
LEGEND Communications System and AUDIX Voice Power™.
Forced idle reductions keep system interruptions at a minimum. In
general, the smallest necessary component is forced idle during
programming activities. For example, renumbering a single extension
idles only one extension; loudspeaker paging port assignment idles only
one trunk. Only a few system-wide programming activities, such as
setting the system mode and system renumbering, idle the entire
system.
SPM provides a convert option to convert a Release 1.0 or Release 1.1
backup file to the format used by Release 2.0. This allows existing
system programming to be presewed when the system is upgraded to
Release 2.0.
System operational enhancements include the following:
Coverage VMS is a new feature [hat prevents incoming exlernal calls
from going to voice mail (All other Coverage remains active as
programmed.) The feature
either through extension programming or through centralized
programming.
A Night Service group can be programmed to include a calling group
as a member, This allows a call thal receives Night Service treatment tc
be queued when all Night Service group members are busy or
unavailable
When AUDIX Voice Power or MERLIN MAIL™ sends a Leave Word
Calling message to an extcnslon, the sys[em Identifies the voice mail
syslem as Ihe sender of the message. A
subscriber uses the Return Call feature, the call goes to any available
voice mail port, not just to the specific port that generated the message
This improves access by reducing the chance of gcttlng a busy port.
Coverage receivers can call Coverage senders and have the call
receive Coverage treatmcnt, If a receiver calls a sender for whom he or
shc is covering, and the sender is busy or unavailable, the call
proceeds to other points of Coverage, It does not come back to the
receiver who originated the call.
