System Renumbering The procedures in this section are used to assign the 2-digit, 3-digit, and Set Up Space numbering plans. NOTE: System Renumbering is called Flexible Numbering in the MERLIN® II Communications System. This is not the same as Board Renumbering, an option used when modules in the control unit are changed.
Page 54
Select System Numbering Plan You select only one of the numbering plans (2-digit numbering, 3-digit numbering, or Set Up Space numbering). In addition, you may need to perform single and/or block renumbering. You do not need to assign DSS Page buttons unless the system programming console or one of the operator positions is connected to a DSS.
Select System Numbering Plan Select System Numbering Plan WARNING: To avoid possible loss of system programming information, renumber the system before you program the rest of the options described in this chapter. The three available system numbering plans listed below appear on System Planning Form 2a.
Page 56
Select System Numbering Plan Extension numbers can be composed of any combination of digits; however, no number can begin with 0. Trunk numbers (801 to 880) are considered to . be extensions and can be renumbered. The system does not provide a message to indicate a successful renumber when either the 2-digit or 3-digit numbering plan is selected.
Single Renumbering Single Renumbering Use this procedure to assign a specified extension number to a telephone, accessory, line, pool (Hybrid/PBX only), calling group, paging group) or Listed Directory Number. Single renumbering is also used for Remote Access, Park, Idle Line Access (Key and Behind Switch only), and Automatic Route Selection (Hybrid/PBX only).
Block Renumbering Block Renumbering Use this procedure to assign extension numbers to a group of extensions, accessories, or lines. Both the original numbers and the numbers they are being changed to must be sequentially numbered. When required, this procedure should be performed immediately following the selection of a system numbering plan.
