Assigning Line Buttons In Hybrid/Pbx Mode - AT&T MERLIN LEGEND Release 3.1 System Planning Manual

Assigning Lines/Trunks to Data and Video Stations
Make enough copies of each data form so that you can complete one form for
each data station. Complete each form:
1. From Form 2a, System Numbering: Extension Jacks, obtain the
identification information for each data station.
2. Record the information on the appropriate data form (2a or 2b) for each
data station and for each modem and ISDN terminal adapter used to
communicate with a local host computer or with a workstation on a LAN:
a. In the Logical ID space, write the logical ID for each extension.
b. In the Extension No. space, write the extension number for each
extension.
c. In the Person or Location space, write the name of the person or the
location of the data equipment.
d. Under the Data Station Use heading, indicate the purpose of the data
station by checking one of the following boxes: Individual use, Local
host computer, or LAN workstation.

Assigning Line Buttons in Hybrid/PBX Mode

The line buttons you can assign to data stations are as follows:
System Access Ring. Used to make and receive inside and outside
data calls. To make outside calls, the user selects an outside line/trunk
by dialing either the code for Automatic Route Selection (ARS) or the
dial-out code for the trunk pool. Users at ISDN terminal adapter data
stations and video endpoints can also dial the line/trunk number (801
880) to select an outside line/trunk.
Personal Line. Used to make and receive outside data calls from a data
station on a specific outside line/trunk. A personal line is an outside
line/trunk assigned to a line button on one or more data or voice stations.
The outside line/trunk cannot be a member of a pool.
To dedicate an outside line/trunk for data calls and have the calls
automatically answered by data equipment, do not assign the same
outside line/trunk to both data equipment and telephones because
modems answer voice calls as data calls.
On analog voice-and modem data stations, a personal line can be used
to receive incoming calls. A personal line can be used for outgoing calls
by selecting the line button on the analog multiline telephone, dialing,
and then activating the modem connected through a GPA.
