MERLIN LEGEND Communications System Release 5.0
System Programming 555-650-111
1 Programming Basics
Product Enhancements
Time-based option for overflow on Calling Group
Release 4.0 has added a time limit for calls in queue in addition to the previous
number limit. If the Overflow Threshold Time is set to a valid number between
1–900 seconds, calls that remain in the Calling Group Queue for the set time are
sent to the Overflow Receiver. If the Overflow Threshold Time is set to 0, Overflow
by time is turned off. The factory-set time limit is 0 seconds (Overflow by time off).
Single-Line Telephone Enhancements
Disable Transfer. Through centralized telephone programming, the
system manager can disable the ability to transfer calls by removing from
the telephone all but one SA or ICOM button.
No Transfer Return. When a handset bounce in its cradle, the MERLIN
LEGEND system interprets this as a switchhook flash and attempts to
transfer a call. When the transfer attempt period expires, the user's
telephone rings. Release 4.0 eliminates this unintended ringing by
disconnecting the call in situations where a switchhook flash is followed by
an on-hook state when dial tone is present.
Forward Disconnect. All ports on 012 and 016 modules now send forward
disconnect to all devices connected to them when forward disconnect is
received from the CO. This enhancement prevents the trunk/line form
being kept active when one end disconnects from the call. If an answering
machine is connected to the port, it will not record silence, or busy tones, or
other useless messages. This is a non-administrable operation.
Security Features
7-digit password for SPM
Release 4.0 has increased system security by requiring a seven-digit password
when using SPM to perform remote administration or when performing the Trunk
Test procedure. This password is to be used in addition to the Remote Access
barrier codes.
Release 4.1 Enhancements
Release 4.1 includes all Release 4.0 functionality, plus the enhancements listed
below. There are no hardware changes in Release 4.1.
Coverage Timers Programmed for
Individual Extensions
Beginning with Release 4.1, coverage timers, which control the duration of the
delay before calls are sent to each level of coverage, are changed as follows:
The Group Coverage Ring Delay (1–9 rings) is programmed on individual
extensions and replaces the Coverage Delay Interval programmed
systemwide in previous releases.
