Programmable Features - AT&T MERLIN Plus Training Manual

Programmable Features

Programmable features allow you to customize your MERLIN Plus system accord-
ing to your specific needs. A programmable feature is one that you set up. For
example, you can save a phone number in a button or in a 3-character dial code
and then dial the number by pressing the button or entering the dial code.
One of the most useful programmable features, Auto Dial/Speed Dial, allows you to
store frequently dialed numbers in one button. However, your MERLIN Plus system
has many other programmable features that will enable you to use your phone
more efficiently.
The MERLIN Plus CS programmable features include:
Auto Dial and Speed Dial Numbers
Outside Auto Dial
Personal Speed Dial
Intercom Autodial
System Speed Dial
Manually Signalling a Co-Worker
Returning to a call (Hold Retrieve)
Using Account Numbers
Picking up another's call at your phone (Call Pickup)
Ring Option Override
Do Not Disturb
Privacy
Redialing
The last number you dialed.
Saving and redialing a number you dialed.
Enabling Touch-Tone.
Automatically answering intercom calls. (Requires the Hands Free Unit or the
Hands Free Answer on Intercom phone.)
Automatically answering all calls (Requires an answering machine, modem, or
the Hands Free Unit.)
Paging a group through the Speaker (Group Page)
Paging through the Loudspeaker. (Requires loudspeaker equipment.)
The procedures for each programmable feature have two sets of steps:
Programming the feature.
Using the feature.
You can program (or reprogram) any button except those that are factory-defined
(Intercom, Hold, etc.) or those that have outside numbers assigned to them.
Once you've programmed a feature, using it is as easy as pressing a button.
Note: You also can use a dial code (two or three characters entered from the dial
pad) to use a feature. This ensures that even if you have few available buttons to
program, you can still use the programmable features.
