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
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).
