Analog Multiline Display Telephones
The following types of information appear on the 1-line by 16-character or 2-line
by 40-character display of an analog multiline display telephone:
Call-Handling Information. Shows telephone numbers as they are dialed,
the name or number of a caller, and the type of incoming call.
Feature Programming Support. Allows a user to see what features have
been programmed on buttons.
Prompts and Feedback. Prompts for information such as an account
code, and provides feedback, such as confirmation of feature activation.
Posted Message and Leave Message. Allow a user to see messages
from other telephone users and operators.
Timekeeping Functions. Include an alarm clock and a built-in timer, as
well as the ability to set the date and time that appear on the display.
Analog multiline display telephones do not offer menu-driven telephone
programming and do not allow users to select and use features from the display.
The procedure for changing the contrast on the analog multiline display
telephones varies among display telephones. The BIS-34D and the MERLIN II
Display Console have dials to change the contrast of the screens. The BIS-22D
has no controls for contrast.
Considerations and Constraints
The date and time shown on MLX telephones are controlled by the processor
module in the control unit. When the date or time changes, the control unit sends
the message to MLX telephones one at a time, which can cause a slight
difference in the time and/or date displayed on each telephone.
Users with analog multiline telephones with displays must set the time and date at
their individual telephones.
