ADMINISTRATION
5-74 MERLIN Plus System Features
The system administrator can set up Group Page groups so anyone in the system
can use the Group Page feature to page up to 20 people at a time directly through
the voice terminal speakers.
You can have up to three paging groups. The Page-All group consists of all
voice terminals in the system; groups 1 and 2 can have up to 20 voice terminals
in each group.
If necessary, one voice terminal can be assigned to more than one paging group.
You can program buttons for the groups you want to page. Or, you can save
available feature buttons for other uses and use a dial code for this feature.
If someone in the Group Page group picks up the handset during a Group Page
announcement, he or she is connected to the person making the announcement,
and the page announcement is terminated.
When someone in the MERLIN Plus system has activated the
Voice Announcement Disable feature for his or her voice terminal,
he or she cannot hear a Group Page announcement.
If your responsibilities do not include system administration, skip this
information.
When the system is first set up, the system has the following Group Page groups:
Group 1 = voice terminals 10 through 19
Group 2 = voice terminals 20 through 29
Page-All = voice terminals 10 through 29
If these group assignments are not satisfactory for the system, the administrator
can add or delete voice terminals from the individual groups.
The Page-All group, the paging group containing all the voice terminals in the
system, cannot be administered.
Before you begin to administer Group Page groups, refer to "Paging Groups" on
your "System Configuration Form." Then use one of the following procedures to
