Direct Station Selector; Page Buttons; Park Zones - AT&T MERLIN LEGEND Release 3.1 System Planning Manual

Operator Features

Direct Station Selector

Use these instructions only if the system has Direct Station Selectors (DSSs)
connected to MLX operator consoles. Otherwise, skip to the next section,
"Group Assigned Features."
This section contains instructions for recording the range of extensions
assigned to the Page buttons, and for renumbering the extensions for Park so
that the extensions fall within the Page button ranges.

Page Buttons

This section contains instructions for recording the range of extensions
assigned to each of three Page buttons. The three Page buttons should be set
to reach ranges of numbers that include the extension numbers in the extension
numbering plan and reflect the number of extensions available:
If one DSS is connected to an operator console, set each Page button for
a range of 50 numbers (matching the 50 available extensions).
If two DSSs are connected, set each Page button for a range of 100
numbers. The Page buttons then control 100 extensions, 50 on each
DSS.
NOTE:
If two DSSs are used, the Page buttons on the second selector are not
active.
Planning Form Instructions
In the Page Buttons table under the Direct Station Selector heading of Form 6a
(page 1), write the beginning extension for the range of the 50 or 100 extension
numbers for each Page button. Assign the lowest extension numbers in the plan
to the first Page button, the middle range of numbers to the second Page
button, and the highest extension numbers to the third Page button. (Use the
information from Form 2a, System Numbering: Extension Jacks to assign the
range of extensions for each Page button.) Also, record this information on Form
2d under the DSS Page Buttons heading.

Park Zones

This section contains instructions to enable operators with a DSS to have
one-touch use of Park, that is, to put calls into a special type of hold so that the
calls can be picked up from any telephone in the system. The system
automatically reserves eight extensions (881 888) for system operator park
zones; only system operators can use these park zone extensions to park calls.
Consider changing these factory-set extensions to numbers that fall within the
Page button ranges. The same considerations apply as those used during
reassignment of extension numbers.
