Obtaining Telephone Company Information

If the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System has only one MLX port
board, you will also need System Programming and Maintenance (SPM)
software, Version 5.15 to administer your CTI link.
One port on an MLX port board is used for the link. Select from ports 2, 3,
4, 6, 7, or 8 (the CTI Link port cannot be the potential operator port or the
console programming port).
For a NetWare 3.12 installation, ensure that NWSNUT.NLM, Version 4.11
or later, and TUI.NLM, Version 1.04 or later, is obtained from Novell and
installed in the SYS:\SYSTEM directory.
NOTE: NOTE: NOTE:
To obtain these NLMs from Novell, access either the Novell web site
(http:\\www.novell.com) or the Novell FTP site (ftp.novell.com). First
download IPXRT4.EXE and follow the directions in the associated readme
file. Then, download NWSNUT.NLM and TUI.NLM.
For more information on setting up the system see the MERLIN LEGEND
Communications System Network Manager's Guide.
Environmental Specifications
If the Telephony Server platform and the MERLIN LEGEND Communications
System are to share an equipment room, the room's environment (temperature,
humidity, contaminants, EMI, AC power and grounding) must meet the more
demanding set of environmental specifications for the two units. Refer to the
specifications for each hardware platform for details.
Obtaining Telephone Company

will need to obtain information from the local telephone company. Before you
speak with the local telephone company, make sure you understand your
customers company requirements regarding the communications system. Some
of the information you will need to know includes:
Which incoming line/trunk is connected to each channel on each 100D
module, and the order in which the lines/trunks are assigned
The Service Profile Identifier (SPID) and Directory Number (DN)
associated with each channel on each 800 NI-BRI module
Whether the disconnect signals for loop-start lines/trunks are reliable or
unreliable, and what the length of the Hold disconnect interval is
