Privacy - AT&T MERLIN LEGEND Release 2.0 Data User's Manual

Features

Privacy

Privacy is automatically activated on data calls from digital
data stations or from analog data stations connected to an
analog multiline telephone via a GPA. Use these instructions
only if your analog data station does not have an analog
multiline telephone connected.
For analog data-only stations and analog data stations
connected to a Multi-Function Module (in an MLX telephone),
use Privacy before you make a data call to prevent unwanted
interruptions during transmission. Privacy prevents co-
workers from accidentally connecting to your data call and
causing a loss of data by using the same line or trying to use
the Barge-in feature. Co-workers picking up the line you are
using hear a busy signal instead of being connected.
For analog data-only stations or analog data stations
connected to a Multi-Function Module (in an MLX telephone),
you activate Privacy by dialing a feature code. Once
activated, the feature remains active until turned off.
It is a good idea to activate Privacy on every data call you
make or every time you are expecting a call so your calls are
not interrupted. You cannot activate Privacy from analog data
stations while a data call is in progress.
