Features
Extension Status
In Hotel mode, the MERLIN MAIL, MERLIN LEGEND Mail, or AUDIX Voice Power
outcalling feature does not work.
In Hotel mode, when Auto Dial buttons are used to monitor the status of
telephones (instead of buttons on a DSS), the green LED next to the button
indicates extension status (0, 1, or, 2), and the red LED indicates message status.
In calling group mode, the green LED also indicates extension status, but the red
LED indicates busy/not busy status.
If the system is programmed for Extension Status in Hotel mode, telephones can
be changed to Status 0 (regular call handling) only from the operator console.
Extension Status cannot be changed from rotary telephones.
In Hotel mode, when the system restarts (for example, for maintenance) and the
calling group type is set for Auto Logout (see
details), extensions that are assigned Status 1 are changed automatically to
Status 0 and restrictions are removed. If the calling group type is changed to Auto
Login, extensions assigned Status 1 are changed automatically to Status 2 and
restrictions remain.
Telephone Differences
Direct-Line Consoles
Extension Status/Supervisory Operation can be assigned to DLCs only. In Hotel

Group/CMS mode, a calling group or CMS supervisor uses a DLC to monitor and
change group member status.
Queued Call Consoles
Extension Status/Supervisory Operation cannot be used on a QCC, and a QCC
cannot be a calling group or CMS supervisor console or a calling group member.

Operation to see the status of telephones. In Hotel mode, the feature is assigned

the operator presses either the Message Status button to use Auto Dial or the
DSS buttons to see message-waiting status for each telephone.
To activate Extension Status/Supervisory Operation in Calling Group/CMS mode,
