MERLIN LEGEND Communications System Release 6.1
Feature Reference 555-661-110
I Applications
Voice Messaging Systems
NOTE:
A 016 (T/R) module can ring all 16 ports simultaneously. On a 012 or
MERLIN LEGEND Mail module, only four ports can ring simultaneously
(sufficient for the 6-port configuration of the MERLIN LEGEND Mail
module). If you are using an attendant or voice messaging system that
requires eight of the 012 jacks on a single module, you should not use the
remaining jacks on the module. If the application uses fewer than 8 jacks,
you may use the remaining jacks for T/R devices such as single-line
telephones.
Transfer Redirect
If unanswered by the end of the transfer redirect time interval (0–9 rings), a call
transferred from a VMI port alerts at the VMS transfer redirect extension, rather
than returning to the VMI port that originated the transfer. For example, you might
program Extension 15 as a VMI port for a Lucent Technologies Attendant and set
the transfer redirect time interval to four rings. When a call comes in on Extension
15, the caller listens to a recording and dials a request for Extension 24. The call
rings at Extension 24 four times without being answered. The system redirects the
call to Extension 10, the system operator; it does not redirect the call back to
Extension 15.
NOTE:
Beginning in Release 6.1, a call transferred to a non-local extension has a
transfer redirect time interval set at 32 seconds, instead of a programmable
number of rings.
On an unsupervised transfer (described in "Automated Attendant," later in this
chapter), when the transfer destination is busy or is an invalid extension, the
transfer redirect is immediate (no time interval). If the system cannot alert the
transfer redirect extension (all buttons are in use), the VMS keeps trying to alert
the transfer redirect extension every 20 seconds until the alert is delivered or the
caller hangs up.
Far-End Disconnect
When the system detects a far-end disconnect signal on a line/trunk where a VMI
extension is receiving a call, the system sends the disconnect signal to the VMI
extension, whether or not that extension is the only party left on the call. If another
party is still on the call, the VMS decides whether to continue or disconnect the
party. (The far-end disconnect signal occurs only if you program the VMI port for
Reliable Disconnect.) Loop-start lines must be programmed for Reliable
Disconnect.
