MERLIN LEGEND Communications System Release 7.0
Feature Reference 555-670-110
I Applications
Voice Messaging Systems
Calling restrictions (for example, Disallowed Lists, Toll Restriction, Facility
Restriction Levels) should be programmed, as appropriate, to minimize toll
fraud abuse, especially if a single-line telephone is connected to an
integrated VMI port. Refer to this guide for additional information on
programming calling restrictions.
Beginning in Release 6.1, a MERLIN LEGEND System without a VMS can share
the VMS on another MERLIN LEGEND System Release 6.1, provided that the
systems are in Hybrid/PBX mode and are connected directly by PRI tandem
trunks or analog/digital tie trunks. This sharing of the VMS is called "Centralized
Voice Messaging" and is supported for the following voice messaging systems:
MERLIN LEGEND Mail
Messaging 2000
Intuity AUDIX
IS III AUDIX Voice Power (no longer available)
A VMS requires touch-tone receivers (TTRs); the number it requires depends on
the number of VMI ports. See
Voice Messaging Interface (VMI)
Port Capabilities
VMI ports use switchhook flashes for Hold, Transfer, Conference, and Drop in the
same way single-line telephones do. VMI ports also have the ability to perform
transfer redirection, to respond to far-end disconnect, and, in the case of
integrated VMI ports only, to send call information and mark a port in or out of
service. The following sections describe these capabilities. Beginning with
Release 2.1, both integrated and generic VMI ports can perform trunk-to-trunk
transfer.
NOTE:
An 016 (T/R) module can ring all 16 ports simultaneously. On an 012 (T/R)
or MERLIN LEGEND Mail module, only four ports can ring simultaneously
(sufficient for the 6-port configuration of the MERLIN LEGEND Mail
module). If you are using an attendant or voice messaging system that
requires eight of the 012 (T/R) jacks on a single module, you should not use
the remaining jacks on the module. If the application uses fewer than 8
jacks, you may use the remaining jacks for T/R devices such as single-line
telephones.
