You can also use accessories with your MERLIN Plus system that work similarly
to basic telephones. These accessories include auto-dial modems, facsimile
machines, credit phones, answering telephones, manual dial modems, auto
dialers, and answering machines. The following devices support these
accessories.
Basic Telephone and Modem Interface (BTMI) —The BTMI is intended
for on-premises telephones and accessories. You can connect to your
MERLIN Plus system such accessories as auto-dial modems, facsimile
machines, credit phones, and answering telephones. You do not need to use
a MERLIN Plus system voice terminal with these accessories.
General Purpose Adapter (GPA) —The GPA is intended for accessory
equipment that you can connect to your MERLIN Plus system voice terminal
such as manual dial modems, auto dialers, answering machines, and cordless
telephones.
Auxiliary Jack (AUX jack) —The AUX jack on the MERLIN Plus system
control unit is primarily intended to let you share Line A and/or E with the
MERLIN Plus system. You can connect such devices as data devices, a
facsimile machine, or an answering machine to the AUX jack.
Once you have assigned lines to a basic telephone, be sure to provide the person
using the telephone with a list of the codes for the lines he or she has access to.
