Merlin Mail Ports Required - AT&T MERLIN LEGEND System Reference Manual

System Applications
New Application Features
Mode Differences
Considerations
The number of incoming lines and subscribers programmed for Automated
Attendant service and the number of busy-hour calls determine how many
MERLIN MAIL ports are required for the user's system (see Table 3-5).
Table 3-5 MERLIN MAIL Ports Required
The MERLIN MAIL Voice Messaging System features that are new for the
MERLIN LEGEND Communications System include the following:
Outcalling automatically calls the user at a number that the user has
programmed when a new message is received. The user then can log into
the VMS to retrieve messages.
Pager Notification calls the user at a designated number when a new
message is received. However, the user cannot log into the VMS.
Broadcast Lists allows the system administrator to send a message to every
user on the MERLIN MAIL Voice Messaging System. However, this message
does not light message LEDs and does not cause outcalling.
Fax Transfer directs an incoming fax call to a designated fax station. This
fax station can be a single machine or a calling group with several machines.
Announcement Service allows a caller to enter a code to hear information
about specific subjects, such as new product information or marketing
programs.
The MERLIN MAIL Voice Messaging System cannot be connected to a
telephone system that operates in the Behind Switch mode.
The MERLIN MAIL Voice Messaging System is available in two-port and
four-port configurations. Both models have four hours of message storage
capacity.
The size of a user's mailbox — that is, the number of minutes of messages
that a mailbox can hold — can be matched to individual needs. A mailbox
can be setup to hold a maximum of 15 minutes of messages.
