Prior Releases: Features and Enhancements

Release 4.0 Enhancements (March 1996)

With this enhancement, Night Service can be activated and deactivated on lines
that do not appear on operator consoles (for example, personal lines), and lines
appearing at operator positions can be excluded from Night Service.
Forward on Busy
Beginning with Release 4.1, the Forward, Follow Me, and Remote Call Forward
features are enhanced to remove the requirement that a call be ringing at an
extension before it can be forwarded. With the Forward on Busy enhancement, a
call to an extension with no available SA (System Access) or ICOM (Intercom)
buttons is forwarded immediately to the programmed destination, preventing the
caller from hearing a busy signal from the intended call recipient's extension.
Maintenance Testing for BRI Facilities that Are
Part of Multiline Hunt Groups (MLHGs)
Beginning with Release 4.1, the NI-1 BRI (National Integrated Services Digital
Network-1 Basic Rate Interface) Provisioning Test Tool is enhanced to include
testing for BRI facilities that are part of Multiline Hunt Groups (MLHGs).
The NI-1 BRI Provisioning Test Tool is used by Lucent Technologies maintenance
personnel on MERLIN LEGEND Communications Systems that include a 800
NI-BRI module. Technicians use the tool during system installation and
maintenance to test the functionality of the BRI lines and to report analyzed
results.
Release 4.0 Enhancements
(March 1996)
Release 4.0 includes all Release 3.1 functionality, plus the enhancements listed
below.
Support for Up to 200 Extensions
An expanded dial plan supports up to 200 tip/ring devices.
Support for National ISDN BRI Service
This service (Hybrid/PBX and Key modes) provides an alternative to loop-start
and ground-start lines/trunks for voice and digital data connectivity to the central
office. Each of the two B-channels ( bearer channels ) on a BRI line can carry one
voice and one data call at any given time. The data speeds on a B-channel are up
to 28.8 kbps for analog data and up to 64 kbps for digital data, which is necessary
for videoconferencing and other high-speed applications. Release 4.0 supports
the IOC Package "S" (basic call handling) service configuration and Multiline Hunt
service configuration on designated CO switches.
