System Changes

Your MERLIN communications system is designed to make system changes
quickly and easily. You can increase your system's capacity and capability
simply by adding a module to your control unit. Modular plugs on much of the
system wiring and the labels you placed on key components enable you to
reorganize the system easily in the event of office rearrangements.
The following are the most common system changes.

ADDING AN OUTSIDE LINE

If your MERLIN system becomes so busy that people in your office frequent-
ly must wait to make calls, you may want to add one or more outside lines to
your system. A Model 1030 can support up to 10 outside lines (up to 20 outside
lines with Feature Module 3). A Model 3070 can support up to 30 outside lines
(50 with Feature Module 3).
1
Have your local telephone company add the outside line(s) and network
interface jack(s) to those you already have in place.
If all the Line Module jacks in your control unit are full, you need another
Line Module. If no empty Line Module slots remain in your control unit,
you need a Model 1030 Expansion Unit in addition to a Line Module
in order to increase your system's capacity.
2
See the directions for adding these components and the new lines to
your system in the sections "Attach the Model 1030 Expansion Unit to
the Control Unit," page 12, "Insert the Modules," page 14, and "Con-
nect the Control Unit to the Outside Lines," page 18.
3
Label a new line button on each voice terminal that will have access
to the new line(s). If you are using line pools, you can add the line to
a pool, or you must administer this line appearance on all the voice ter-
minals where you want the line to appear. Refer to the administration
manual for instructions.
4
Record the changes in your system and user directories.

ADDING A VOICE TERMINAL

You can easily add more voice terminals to your MERLIN system as your
business and communication demands increase. A Model 1030 can support
up to 30 voice terminals (20 with Feature Module 3); a Model 3070 can support
up to 70 voice terminals (50 with Feature Module 3).
To add a voice terminal to your system:
1
See that the necessary wiring, jacks, and jumper cords are installed
between the control unit and the new voice terminal location (see "Get-
ting Started," page 2).
If all the Voice Terminal Module jacks in your control unit are full, you
need another Voice Terminal Module. If all the Voice Terminal Module
slots in your control unit are full, you need a Model 1030 Expansion Unit
in addition to the Voice Terminal Module.
2
To add these components and the new voice terminals to your system,
refer to the sections "Attach the Model 1030 Expansion Unit to the Con-
trol Unit," page 12, "Insert the Modules," page 14, and "Connecting
Voice Terminals," page 22.
3
At the jack field, label each new jack with its wiring run endpoint (for
example, "workshop" or "reception area").
4
Record the addition in your system and user directories.
5
Refer to your administration manual for instructions on administering
your additional voice terminals.

MOVING A VOICE TERMINAL

You can easily move a voice terminal from one location to another without hav-
ing to reprogram the voice terminal or change the system labeling.
To move a voice terminal:
1
Make sure the necessary wiring is in place (refer to "Getting Started,"
page 2).
2
Go to the jack field and find the jack for the wiring run that ends at the
voice terminal's present location (for example, "workshop").
3
Unplug the jumper cord from that jack and plug it into the jack for the
wiring run that ends at the voice terminal's new location (for example,
"reception area").
TIP: If two employees are trading places, the jumper cords labeled with
the employees' intercom numbers simply swap jacks in the jack field.
4
Go to the voice terminal's location and unplug the voice terminal's
modular voice terminal cord from the modular jack.
5
Take the voice terminal to the new location, plug the voice terminal's
modular voice terminal cord into the modular jack there, and make sure
the voice terminal has a dial tone.
6
Record the change in your system and user directories.
NOTE: You don't have to change any labels in the system.

CHANGING TOUCH-TONE/ROTARY SERVICE

If you are changing your telephone service from rotary to Touch-Tone or vice
versa, refer to the instructions in your administration manual.
