MERLIN LEGEND Communications System Release 6.1
Feature Reference 555-661-110
Features
Display
The level of support the display provides depends on the telephone and, in
Release 6.0 and later systems, on the display preference programmed for an MLX
extension:
The displays on analog multiline telephones provide call-handling
information but do not support menu-driven telephone programming,
selection of features, or operation in languages other than English.
MLX display telephones provide menu-driven telephone programming and
allow people to select and use features from the display. In Release 1.1
and later systems, MLX telephones can display information in English,
French, or Spanish. (The system can be programmed to provide all
displays to MLX telephones in one of these languages; each MLX
telephone can be programmed to operate in English, French, or Spanish,
independently of the system language.)
In Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode), PRI tandem trunks
can provide label and extension number display at the destination MLX
display telephone. The system manager programs this capability to allow
display of the label (name), extension number, or both. The following rules
apply to call information displays on private networks:
Table 18 shows examples of call-handling displays.
— To pass caller ID information across the network when a call is
transferred, the loop-start ID delay must be on, the Remote Call
Forwarding delay must be set to one ring, and the call transfer must
be completed before the call is forwarded.
— Local calling group labels do not display at remote destination
extensions. Network calls display at the remote extension as if the
remote calling group received an outside call.
— If an incoming PRI call with ANI is directed over PRI tandem trunks
only, the trunk label and ANI information can display at the MLX
display telephone extension where the call arrives.
— Analog or T1-emulated tandem tie trunks do not support the
displaying of the label and extension number. Calls between
networked systems on tie trunks display as outside calls do.
— Display operation for transfers is generally not supported across a
private network. When a call is transferred and travels over PRI
tandem trunks, the display shows the transferring extension.
— The system supports the display of 5-digit 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
displays, which support a maximum of 7 characters for name labels.
