Features
Uniform Dial Plan Features
Group Calling
HFAI
HotLine
Labeling
Messaging
Private-networked trunks cannot be programmed to ring into calling
groups because tandem trunks are dial-in facilities.
When a calling group extension number is included in the non-local dial
plan, you can dial the group just as you would any other extension. Calls
can be transferred to non-local calling groups.
In Release 6.0 systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), all calling group
members, the supervisor, alerts, delay announcement devices, and
overflow receivers must be located on the same system.
In Release 6.1 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), coverage and
overflow can be directed to a calling group that contains a single non-local
extension number.
Calls-in-Queue Alarm buttons and alerts, as well as delay announcement
devices work only for calling groups on the local system.
The HFAI button does not work for calls from non-local dial plan
extensions.
You cannot assign a non-local extension for HotLine operation. A HotLine
extension, however, can be used to dial a non-local extension.
For incoming calls, the alphanumeric label and/or extension number for
non-local dial plan extensions appears on local system MLX and ETR
displays according to display preference programming. This feature
works only when PRI tandem trunks convey the calls.
When operators make intersystem calls, you should relabel the default
OPERATR label to distinguish operators in different systems.
In Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), the system
supports the display of DEFINITY ECS or DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions
extension labels, although long DEFINITY ECS or DEFINITY ProLogix
Solutions labels may be truncated on MERLIN LEGEND Communications
System MLX and ETR displays, which support a maximum of seven
characters for name labels and seven characters for extension number
labels.
Messaging features generally do not work across a private network. They
only work for extensions connected to the same system.
A user cannot turn a message light at a non-local dial plan extension off
or on. Only an integrated VMI port can turn a message light on or off
across a private network (Release 6.1 and later systems).
An operator cannot inspect the message status of an extension.
