Installing Applications
Installing a CTI Link
These steps should be followed in order. Step 2 cannot come before Step 1, or
System Programming will fail (procedure error beeps).
Install MERLIN LEGEND hardware.

Choose a slot for an MLX port module (008 MLX or 408 MLX), and insert
the module. Identify a port on that MLX port module for the CTI link.
Unplug any telephone/adjunct from that port.
NOTE:
Make sure that the MLX board's firmware vintage is NOT 29. Any
other vintage is acceptable, that is, earlier or future vintages after
29. If the port module has firmware vintage 29, the link
administration is prevented and the System Programming screens
tell the administrator that firmware 29 cannot be used.
Do not assign the CTI link to the first and fifth ports normally
reserved for the operator positions.
Program the communications system.

At the Executive Station or using SPM, program the system in
Hybrid/PBX mode, busy out the slot, then program that MLX port as a
CTI link port. The functions for programming the system and the MLX
port are under the System Programming option. The functions to busy
out and restore the slot are under the Maintenance option. Be sure to
restore the slot after you finish the programming.
Plug in the CTI link. Tag the cable and/or the port as the CTI link.

As a general rule, do not plug in a CTI link unless the port is programmed
as a CTI link port. Also, do not plug a telephone into a CTI link port. The
other end of this wire is plugged into the ISDN link interface card installed
in the NetWare server.
NOTE:
If you are installing an adjunct or an application into the CTI link, refer to
the books that come with that adjunct/application. Refer to the System
Manager's Guide section "Adding a CTI Link" for detailed instructions.
