Introduction
Integrated Administration provides a single interface through Integrated
Solution Ill (IS-III) for programming entries common to the MERLIN
LEGEND Communications System and AUDIX Voice Power.
Any SPM Version 2.
Convert function for use in upgrading the system from Release 1.0 or 1.1.
This function converts a backup file from a Release 1.0 or 1.1 system to
Release 2,0 format, allowing reuse of existing system programming on
the upgraded system.
Forced idle reductions keep system interruptions at a minimum. In
general, the smallest necessary component is forced idle during
programming activities. For example, renumbering a single extension
force-idles only one extension. Only a few system-wide programming
activities, such as setting the system mode and system renumbering,
force-idle the entire system.
System operational enhancements include the following:
Coverage VMS is a new feature that prevents incoming external calls
from going to voice mail. (All other Coverage remains active as
programmed.) The feature is programmed extension-by-extension,
either through extension programming or through centralized
programming.
A Night Service group can be programmed to include a calling group as
a member. This allows a call that receives Night Service treatment to be
queued when all Night Service group members are busy or unavailable.
When AUDIX Voice Power sends a Leave Word Calling message to an
extension, the system identifies the voice mail system as the sender of
the message. When the voice mail subscriber uses the Return Call
feature, the call goes to any available voice mail port, not just to the
specific port that generated the message. This reduces the chance of
getting a busy port.
Coverage receivers can call Coverage senders and have the call receive
Coverage treatment. If a receiver calls a sender for whom he or she is
covering, and the sender is busy or unavailable, the call proceeds to
other points of Coverage. it does not come back to the receiver who
originated the call.
Enhancements to display prompts include automatic posting of a
Not Disturb message when a user activates the Do Not Disturb
DO
feature, and confirmation messages when a user activates Hold, Privacy,
Saved Number Dial, and Transfer.
Direct Inward Dialing (DID) trunk emulation on a T1 facility provides
24 DID channels on a single DS1 trunk interface, instead of requiring
24 separate physical trunks.
