Release 2.0 Enhancements - Lucent Technologies MERLIN LEGEND Release 5.0 Pocket Reference

PF Registration
PF registration number AS5USA-65646-PF-E is assigned by the FCC for
operating the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System in Hybrid/PBX
mode in the United States. (The PF registration is also applicable to
Release 1.0 systems.)

Release 2.0 Enhancements

Refer to Release 2.0 Notes for detailed descriptions of Release 2.0 and
later enhancements. Release 2.0 includes all Release 1.1 functionality plus
the enhancements listed below.
Programming
Programming enhancements include the following:
Extension Copy is a feature that reduces programming time by allowing
the use of any extension as a template for programming another
extension or block of extensions through centralized telephone
programming.
Integrated Administration provides a single interface through Integrated
Solution III (IS III) for programming entries common to the MERLIN
LEGEND Communications System and AUDIX Voice Power .
Any SPM Version 2.xx (where xx is replaced by numbers) provides a
Convert function for use in upgrading the system from Release 1.0 or
1.1. This function converts a backup file from a Release 1.0 or 1.1
system to Release 2.0 and later format, allowing reuse of existing
system programming on the upgraded system.
Forced idle reductions keep system interruptions at a minimum. In
general, the smallest necessary component is forced idle during
programming activities. For example, renumbering a single extension
idles only one extension. Only a few system-wide programming
activities, such as setting the system mode and system renumbering,
idle the entire system.
Operational
System operational enhancements include the following:
Coverage VMS Off is a feature that prevents incoming outside calls from
going to voice mail. (All other coverage remains active as programmed.)
The feature is programmed extension by extension, either through
extension programming or through centralized telephone programming.
A Night Service group can be programmed to include either extensions
or a calling group as members. However, you should not program both
individual extensions and a calling group into the Night Service group
because individuals will not have a chance to answer before calling
group members do.
When AUDIX Voice Power sends a Leave Message notification to an
extension, the system identifies the voice mail system as the sender of
the message. When the voice mail subscriber uses the Return Call
feature, the call goes to any available voice mail port, not just to the
specific port that generated the message. This reduces the chance of
getting a busy port.
