Line Assignments for Voice Terminals

ORIGINAL LINE
ASSIGNMENTS
3-24 Line Assignments for Voice Terminals
As you filled out the Line Assignments Form, you learned that customizing line
assignments to voice terminals can help control costs and increase the efficiency
of your communications system. All the information you need to customize line
assignments should be on the Line Assignments Form.
When you enter administration mode and touch the Auto Intercom button for a
voice terminal, the green lights next to the line buttons on the console show you
which outside lines are currently assigned to that voice terminal.
Green light on = line is resigned to the voice terminal
Green light off = line is not assigned to the voice terminal
Your system comes from the factory configured so that all your outside lines
appear on the same line buttons on every voice terminal. These are the system's
original line assignments. A voice terminal retains its original line assignments
until someone administers it differently. If this is the first time anyone has
administered your system, all your voice terminals should have their original line
assignments.
If you have not performed the procedure under the heading "Outside
NOTE:
Telephone Lines" earlier in this section, the green lights next to the line
buttons on your administrator/attendant console may show that your
system has more outside lines than it really has. If this is the case, go
back now to "Basic Administration" and enter the correct number of
outside lines following the instructions under the heading,
"Outside Telephone Lines."
MERLIN Plus system line administration offers two choices:
You can keep the original line assignments on some or all of your voice
terminals.
You can customize the line assignments to some or all of your voice
terminals to suit the needs of your business and voice terminal users.
On the Line Assignments Form, find the voice terminals that are keeping their
original line assignments, then do the following:
Enter administration mode.

terminals.
The green lights next to the line buttons should show that all of your outside
lines appear on each of these voice terminals. If you discover that one or
more lines do not appear on a voice terminal designated to keep the original
line assignments, you can use the procedure in the entry for "Customized
Line Assignments" in Section 5, "Reference," to give that voice terminal the
original line assignments.
Leave administration mode.
