MERLIN LEGEND Communications System Release 7.0
Feature Reference 555-670-110
Features
Basic Rate Interface (BRI)
conditions applies: no SA button (aside from Originate Only buttons) is available;
Do Not Disturb is activated; the extension is being programmed; the extension is
forced idle; or, the extension alarm clock is being set. The caller hears a busy
tone, or the call receives coverage, if programmed.
For BRI lines, the SMDR format should be set to ISDN format.
In Release 4.1 and prior systems, an SMDR record is not recorded for a BRI
facility call that is shorter than the programmed SMDR call length. Usually, the
SMDR call length is programmed to compensate for connection and ringing time
of calls on non-ISDN facilities before they are answered. In systems where most
lines are ISDN lines, the call length should be programmed for one (1) second.
In Release 4.2 and later systems with the SMDR Talk Time option enabled, call
timing for incoming calls to Auto Logout or Auto Logout calling groups begins
when the system detects the call.
Feature Interactions
Account Code Entry
Barge-In
Call Waiting
Conference
Hold
Recall
At an extension assigned to a BRI line, you must enter an account
code either before the call is made or during the call. You must enter
forced account codes before the call is made.
If the SMDR feature is not enabled to record incoming calls, the
system does not accept Account Code Entry information for
incoming calls.
Barge-In can be used for voice calls on a BRI line, but not data calls.
Call Waiting is provided on BRI lines at extensions so programmed.
The call-waiting tone is not blocked from BRI at an extension.
Calls on BRI lines can be part of a conference call processed by the
MERLIN LEGEND Communications System, not by the central
office. The MERLIN LEGEND Communications System determines
the number of active parties on the call.
The system supports up to five people on a conference: two within
the system, two outside the system, and the call originator.
If a MERLIN LEGEND Communications System user is part of a
conference established by an outside party through the central office
conference feature, the system may play Music-On-Hold (if so
programmed) when the user puts the call on hold.
An active call on a BRI line can be placed on hold by using the
system Hold feature. All call appearances (such as LEDs) are the
same as for other non-BRI lines.
Recall is not recognized by the central office on BRI lines; therefore,
the central office ignores the telephone's Recall button signal.
