If you haven't filled out any planning forms yet, you should do so now. It
won't take long, and it will save you time later. Section 2, "Planning the
System," contains copies of the forms and instructions for completing them.
When you've completed the forms you need for your system, go on to "Key
System Components."
If this is the first time you've administered the MERLIN Plus system, you
should take a few minutes now to get acquainted with the system's control
unit and the administrator/attendant console.
The control unit is the vital core of the system. It provides the power and
intelligence for all voice terminals, and it directs all incoming and outgoing
call traffic. All the system's memory, including system-wide administration
and voice terminal programming, resides in the control unit. Figure 3-1 shows
the control unit with the front cover removed.
