control units for central processing and reporting.
Mode Differences
The system must operate in Hybrid/PBX mode. MERLIN LEGEND Reporter does
not work with systems in Key or Behind Switch mode.
Considerations and Constraints
MERLIN LEGEND Reporter does not work in a system where another application
accesses the SMDR jack on the control unit. Such applications include all
configurations of Call Accounting System (CAS) and Call Accounting Terminal
(CAT).
MERLIN LEGEND Reporter and Call Accounting System (CAS) should not be
active on the system at the same time. Use MERLIN LEGEND Reporter when you
primarily need to assess facilities and agent performance. CAS is used for costing
purposes.
System reports take precedence over the SMDR information generated for
MERLIN LEGEND Reporter. In order to print system reports using the SMDR jack
on the control unit, the MERLIN LEGEND Reporter serial connection to the port
must be disconnected. MERLIN LEGEND Reporter information is queued while
system reports are generated. For smoother operation, use System Programming
and Maintenance (SPM) software to print system reports from a printer connected
the client account number, or other information. Summary and detail call
reports are organized by account code.
