MERLIN LEGEND Communications System Release 6.0
System Planning 555-660-112
2 Control Unit Configuration
Numbering the System
The MFM can operate as an interface for either a Supplemental Alert Adapter or a
tip/ring device. The Supplemental Alert Adapter (SAA) setting on the MFM is used
when the MFM connects an external alert such as a bell or horn. The tip/ring (T/R)
setting is used when the MFM connects a tip/ring device such as an answering
machine or modem.
NOTES:
1. The system capacity for extensions is decreased by two whenever an
MLX telephone is used.
2. In Behind Switch mode, the system automatically assigns two prime lines
to each port on an MLX module — one for the MLX telephone and one for
the device connected to the MFM. If an MFM is not connected to an MLX
telephone or the MLX port is not used, the prime line for the MFM can be
removed. The prime line can then be assigned to another user.
When PRI, NI-1 BRI, or T1 Switched 56 lines/trunks are assigned to an MLX jack,
digital data/video stations may use two B-channels simultaneously (2B Data) to
place or receive high-speed data/video calls. Optionally, some video stations may
be set up in a Passive Bus configuration. In this configuration, one MLX jack
serves both the video system and a standard MLX telephone that is connected to
the video system rather than directly to the MERLIN LEGEND. For more
information on planning for video applications, see Chapter 5, Data
Communications.
In Release 5.0 and later, if you want Computer Telephony Integration (CTI)
capability, you must assign an MLX jack (port) as the CTI link. The CTI Link
communicates with the PassageWay Telephony Services for Netware product
implemented on a Netware 3.12 or 4.1 or later server to provide CTI services.
These CTI services enable a desktop computer running a certified PC application
to provide computer-based features to users. The CTI Link port must be selected
from ports 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, or 8 (the CTI Link port cannot be the potential operator port
or the console programming port).
Planning Form Instructions
Use the floor plan and Equipment List (if available) to verify that you have located
any video stations and all remaining MLX telephones and adjuncts connected to
them.
1. On Form 2a, mark the extension jack assignments for the video stations
and the remaining MLX telephones:
a.
b.
In the Jack Type column, make sure D is checked next to the logical
ID for each digital extension jack.
In the Person, Location, or Function column, identify each video
station or MLX telephone by the users name, location, or function.
