Privacy - AT&T MERLIN Plus Training Manual

PRIVACY

The Privacy feature prevents anyone who shares the same line from joining in on
your calls. For example, Privacy is particularly useful if you must discuss confiden-
tial matters with a client, or if you are transmitting data to a computer and want to
prevent anyone from accidentally trying to dial out on that line (which could inter-
fere with the transmission).
Note: If your company has one or two outside lines dedicated to an answering
machine or to a modem, the lines may have been set up as "private" when the
system was installed. If you seem to have a "dead" line, check with the Attendant to
see if you were accidentally assigned one of these privacy lines.
