SECURITYlALERT:
Beginning with Release 2.1, a 012 or 016 (T/R) port that is programmed as
a generic VMI port can transfer an outside call to an outside number.
Previously, only VMI ports programmed as integrated VMI ports could do a
trunk-to-trunk transfer. A single-line telephone connected to an integrated
VMI port can complete trunk-to-trunk transfers. In Release 3.1 and later
systems, the default setting disables trunk-to-trunk transfers from these
ports.
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 Release 6.1 MERLIN LEGEND system 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 "Touch-Tone Receivers" in the "Features" section of
this manual.
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.
