Release 4.0 Enhancements
Support for 2B Data applications
Release 4.0 has certified group and desktop video applications that use
two B-channels to make video/data calls from endpoints (stations) that
are enabled to use 2B Data. The endpoints that support these
applications connect to an MLX-port on the MERLIN LEGEND system.
2B Data applications can make use of the NI-1 BRI, PRI, or T1 Switched
56 network interfaces to make outside connections using one or two data
channels at a time.
Support for T1 digital data transmission
Release 4.0 expands its T1 functionality by providing access to digital
data over the public-switched 56 kbps network in addition to data
Tie-Trunk services. Users who have T1 facilities for voice services can
now use them for video calls at data rates of 56 kbps per channel (112
kbps for video calls using two channels). The Release 4.0 offering also
includes point-to-point connectivity over T1 Tie-trunks, allowing
customers to connect two MERLIN LEGEND Communications Systems
or a MERLIN LEGEND Communications System with a DEFINITY
Communications System or DEFINITY Communications Server. The two
communications systems can be co-located or off-premises.
Delayed Call Forwarding
Each user can program a Forwarding Delay setting for the Forward,
Remote Call Forwarding, or Follow Me features. The forwarding delay is
the number of times that a call rings at the forwarding extension before
the call is sent to the receiver. During the delay period, the user can
screen calls by checking the displayed calling number (if it is available).
The delay can be set at 0 to 9 rings. The factory setting for Forwarding
Delay is 0 rings (no delay).
