AT&T MERLIN 3070 Administration Manual page 27

You may want to restrict some voice terminals to intercom calling only. For exam-
ple, you may want to restrict telephones used by employees who never need to
call outside your business, or telephones in public places, such as a lobby.
You can restrict employees who never need to make long distance calls as part
of their jobs to intercom and local calling without interfering with their efficiency.
To assign lines or call restrictions you need a completed Voice Terminal Configura-
tion Form for each voice terminal you intend to administer. You assign lines and
call restrictions one voice terminal at a time.
Follow these steps to assign lines and call restrictions:
1. If you have not already done so, set the administrator/attendant console for system
administration by following the boxed instructions on page 25.
2. Touch the button labeled Adm Tel.
The green light beside the button stops flashing and remains steadily lit.
If your system is pooled, red lights come on next to the buttons of each line
in the pool. The system automatically assigns the pool lines to the two but-
tons immediately above the Intercom buttons on every voice terminal except
the attendant console, as shown in the diagram.
3. Dial the intercom number of the voice terminal whose lines you want to assign
(or press the Intercom Auto Dial button).
A steady green light comes on next to the Intercom Auto Dial button for the
voice terminal whose lines you are assigning, and the voice terminal gives
a two-beep signal for you to begin. (If the green lights beside both the inter-
com Auto Dial and the Adm Tel buttons flash rapidly instead, the voice ter-
minal whose lines you want to assign is in use, and you must wait until the
green lights become steady, or you may try again later.)
Steady green lights come on next to the buttons of any lines already assign-
ed to this voice terminal.
4. Refer to the Voice Terminal Configuration Form to see which lines you plan to
have this voice terminal use. Make sure that the green lights are off next to line
buttons that you do not want this voice terminal to use. If any are on, press the
buttons for the lines you want to remove.
The green light turns off, confirming that the line will no longer appear at the
voice terminal to which you are assigning lines.
5. Using the Voice Terminal Configuration Form as a guide, touch any line button
that is not showing a green light, but that you want assigned to this voice terminal.
The green light goes on, confirming that the line now appears at the voice
terminal.
In square systems, the particular button on which a specific line appears is fixed
— the system assigns lines to the identical button on every voice terminal. In pooled
systems, however, the order in which you touch the buttons for the lines you are
