Delay Announcements; Door Phone; Telephone Adjuncts - AT&T MERLIN LEGEND Release 3.1 System Manager's Manual

Adjuncts
A fax machine originates and receives fax calls independently of any
associated telephone. You can dial calls from the fax machine's dialpad or from
an associated single-line telephone.
If the system does not have DID trunks, you should program fax extensions to
personal lines. When the system has DID service, it can direct incoming calls
automatically to individual fax extensions or to machines in calling groups.
Most industry-standard fax machines work with the system.

Delay Announcements

You can use a delay announcement recording to cover incoming calls that may
wait for an available calling group member (Chapter 4, "Features and
Applications," includes more information about calling groups). To make
announcements, use an industry-standard announcement device, which
connects either to an extension jack on a 012, 016 (Release 4.0 and later), or
008 OPT module or to an MFM.

Door Phone

The AT&T Door Phone enables you to speak directly over the telephone with
people outside your locked business door. When a visitor presses the button on
the Door Phone Speaker, it rings a predesignated extension or activates an alert
device. You can then speak to the person by using the predesignated phone.
Use system programming to designate which phone will ring. The Door Phone
controller unit connects to a 408 or 800 line/trunk jack.
You can attach an answering machine to greet off-hours visitors or let them
leave a message. You can also attach an electromechanical door lock so you
can unlock the door by dialing a special code from the telephone.

Telephone Adjuncts

The telephone adjuncts described in this section connect to a telephone either
directly or through an adapter.
Modems
A modem can connect at an extension or directly to a 012 or 016 (Release 4.0
and later) module on the control unit.
A modem connected to an MLX telephone requires a Multi-Function Module
(MFM); a modem connected to an analog multiline telephone requires a GPA
(General-Purpose Adapter).
You can connect most industry-standard modems to the system.
