About This Book

The MERLIN LEGEND Communications System is an advanced digital switching
system that integrates voice and data communications features. Voice features
include traditional telephone features, such as Transfer and Hold, and
advanced features, such as Group Coverage and Park. Data features allow
both voice and data to be transmitted over the same system wiring.

Intended Audience

This book provides detailed information about system planning. It is intended for
use by anyone who works with customers to plan, coordinate, and implement a
system, including support personnel, sales representatives, and account
executives. It is also intended for technicians who are responsible for system
installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

How to Use This Book

This book has been designed to provide optimal assistance to you in
completing the planning forms, for example:
1. Since some chapters and/or sections apply to one or another of the
configurations (Key or Behind Switch, Hybrid/PBX, or data
communications), these sections are clearly marked, for example,
"Hybrid/PBX mode only." Also, you are alerted to proceed or skip
chapters or sections that don't apply to your particular system. Proceed
through the book as appropriate.
2. A list of the forms or information that will be needed for particular
procedures appears at the beginning of each chapter and section.
3. Where appropriate, examples of completed forms are included so you
can confirm what you have done.
