AT&T MERLIN 3070 Administration Manual page 34

Assign secondary coverage to anyone who is a backup for the covering voice
terminal, such as a clerk who covers calls for a group secretary. A voice terminal
programmed with a secondary Cover button does not ring until a call rings twice
at a voice terminal assigned primary coverage.
If all calls in your business come in through the attendant's console, you can
assign a Cover button to another voice terminal and program it not to ring. This
is useful for people who sometimes work when the attendant is not on duty.They
can tell by the flashing green light that someone is calling and can answer the
call if they want to, but they do not have to be bothered by ringing after regular
business hours.
Be sure to choose a programmable button with lights, and program no more
than five Cover buttons on anyone voice terminal.
The attendant needs a Cover button for any voice terminal with a line not
assigned to that attendant console but that must be covered if no one answers.
A Cover button is also necessary if the attendant must cover intercom calls for
someone.
Now, follow the procedure below.
1.
Go to the voice terminal you want to program.
2. Label the Cover button with the name of the person whose calls the button
covers.
3
Slide the T/P switch on the left side of the voice terminal to P.
The voice terminal rings every 5 seconds to remind you it is in program mode.
4. Touch the Cover button.
5. Dial *4 to program primary coverage, or dial *5 to program secondary
coverage.
6. Dial the 2-digit intercom number of the voice terminal the button covers.
7. If you want to program line ringing options for the Cover button, touch the
button repeatedly until the red light beside it shows the appropriate code.
Each successive touch gives you one of these codes:
Steady red on = immediate ring
Flashing red = delayed ring
8. If the green light comes on next to the Cover button, you have not performed
the procedure correctly. Repeat steps 3 through 7.
9. If you have more features to program on this voice terminal, you can do so.
Otherwise, slide the T/P switch to the center position to return to normal
operation.
Red off = no ring
