Guest Mailbox
A voice mailbox assigned to visitors, guests, or employees who need to receive
messages but do not have a phone assigned to them. Callers using any of the MERLIN
MAIL—ML services can leave messages in a guest mailbox, however the system
operator cannot transfer calls to a guest mailbox. If you want the system operator to
transfer calls to a guest mailbox, setup a phantom station for the subscriber. See also
No Transfer.

Hunt Pattern
The search pattern used by the Group Calling feature to find the next available
extension for answering a call. The MERLIN MAIL—ML Calling Group should be

member is selected. If the first port is not available, the next port is selected. The
search continues in a linear manner until an available port is found.
