HOLD DISCONNECT
INTERVAL
VOICE TERMINALS
The MERLIN Plus system comes set for a long (450 milliseconds) hold
disconnect interval because most telephone company switching systems use the
long interval. If your telephone company uses a short (50 millisecond) interval,
you'll need to reset your system to prevent calls from remaining on hold after
callers have hung up. Refer to "Hold Disconnect Interval" in Section 5,
"Reference," for more information on how to detect the hold disconnect interval.
Under "Hold Disconnect Interval" on the "Outside Telephone Lines" form . . .
Check the column under "Long" if you want the 450 millisecond Hold
Disconnect Interval.
Check the column under "Short" if you want the 50 millisecond Hold
Disconnect Interval.
Each MERLIN Plus system voice terminal (telephone) in your system will have
a 2-digit intercom number corresponding to the number of the voice terminal
jack on the control unit where the voice terminal connects to the system.
The valid intercom numbers for a control unit with 10 voice terminal jacks are
10 through 19. For a control unit with 20 voice terminal jacks, the valid
intercom numbers are 10 through 29. The jack locations are illustrated on a label
to the left of the modules in the control unit.
Intercom Number 10
By design, the intercom 10 position is the primary call-handling position in the
system, and it is also the system administration point. If your system will have
an attendant, you should assign intercom number 10 to the voice terminal at the
system attendant's location. For complete system administration, the voice
terminal assigned intercom 10 should be either a BIS-22 or a BIS-34 model.
If you have 10 or fewer voice terminals, you may prefer to use a BIS-22 voice
terminal.
Under "Voice Terminals" . . .
Write in the name of the system attendant/administrator and that person's
location on the line next to number 10.
Intercom Number 18
Notice on the form that "ASA" appears in the "Name" column next to intercom
number 18. ASA stands for Automatic System Access, a group of features that
includes Call Forwarding, Direct Extension Dialing, System Answer, and
Remote Line Access. These features allow you to take advantage of the
economy and efficiency of your MERLIN Plus system and its long-distance
service lines when you're away from the office on business, or even when you're
at home.
