MERLIN LEGEND Communications System Release 6.1
Feature Reference 555-661-110
Features
Multi-Function Module
An external alert connected to an MFM set for SAA operation can be manually
signaled, can serve as a calling group calls-in-queue alert, or can provide
supplemental alerting for after-hours calls received in a Night Service group. Only
a strobe or other light should be used as a calls-in-queue alert; if a bell is used, it
rings continuously while the number of calls in the calling group queue exceeds
the programmed threshold.
Programming Requirements
Although a device connected through an MFM may not have buttons, the system
treats it as a multiline telephone with 34 buttons. In Hybrid/PBX mode, the system
automatically assigns one SA Ring, one SA Voice, and one SA Originate Only
button to the MFM. In Key mode, the system automatically assigns one ICOM
Ring and one ICOM Voice button to the MFM. In Behind Switch mode, the
system automatically assigns one ICOM Ring, one ICOM Voice, and one prime
line button.
NOTE:
Do not attempt to enter extension programming from a device connected to
an MFM. Program an MFM only through centralized telephone
programming.
To ensure proper operation of a device connected through an MFM, the following
should be performed through centralized telephone programming:
Voice Announce to Busy should be disabled.
SA or ICOM button assignments should be changed to one SA Ring or
ICOM Ring, and either one SA Originate Only or one ICOM Originate
Only button.
Ringing/Idle Line Preference should be enabled.
The Automatic Line Selection sequence should be set to the following:
— SA Ring or ICOM Ring
— SA Originate Only or ICOM Originate Only
— In Key and Behind Switch modes, outside lines that make calls from the
— In Behind Switch mode only, the prime line
When the Automatic Line Selection (ALS) sequence is set to select an SA
or ICOM button, an outside line can be selected by dialing the Idle Line
Access code (usually ) in Key and Behind Switch modes or by dialing the
pool dial-out or ARS code in Hybrid/PBX mode. If ALS is set to select an
outside line button before an SA or ICOM button, the device cannot be
used to make inside calls (inside calls can be received only).
Ring Timing options should be set to No Ring for each outside line on
which calls are not to be received.
