I Applications
MERLIN LEGEND Mail
The size of a subscriber's mailbox—that is, the total amount of storage for all the
messages it can hold—is variable. Available options are 5, 10, or 15 minutes; 5-,
10-, or 60-minute total storage is available for mailboxes.
Callers with rotary telephones whose calls are answered by the Automated
Attendant Touch-Tone Gate cannot use the features of the MERLIN LEGEND Mail
VMS. The application should be set up to direct these calls to the system operator
during business hours.
Each Automated Attendant answers calls immediately (immediate call handling)
or after a delay (delayed call handling).
You program the VMS with a touch-tone telephone. To support remote
diagnostics, the MERLIN LEGEND Mail VMS is equipped with a 9-pin RS-232
serial port and a 1,200-baud internal remote maintenance device.
You should assign Disallowed Lists to the VMI ports that connect to MERLIN
LEGEND Mail voice messaging systems. Restrict or toll-restrict the VMI ports and
then assign Allowed Lists as necessary. This prevents toll calls from being dialed
through the VMS and permits the application to call out only to the area codes or
numbers you specify. If Automatic Route Selection is being used, apply the
appropriate Facility Restriction Levels. See the documentation that comes with
the product for more details.
You cannot use MERLIN LEGEND Mail VMS with Lucent Technologies Attendant.
Feature Interactions
Centralized Voice
Messaging
Coverage
Centralized Voice Messaging can be used with MERLIN LEGEND Mail.
Use system programming to assign all extensions that need coverage to
a coverage group. The system does not do this automatically. It assigns
the VMS ports to a calling group and designates the VMS as the
coverage receiver for the coverage group.
Subscribers can program their telephones so that only outside calls are
sent to coverage.
In Release 2.0 and later, when subscribers activate Coverage VMS Off
for their telephones, normally covered outside calls are not covered. No
special programming is needed on MERLIN LEGEND Mail to activate this
feature.
