SYSTEM SPEED DIAL
System Speed Dial numbers are numbers that you, the administrator, program into
the
MERLIN
system memory. Users can access them by dialing a three-character
code. The codes are #60 to #99.
You may program System Speed Dial in order to give all users in the system access
to numbers frequently dialed at your business, such as a warehouse number or a
branch office. System Speed Dial is particularly useful when you want to give users
access to a certain number but don’t want to divulge that number—for example, an
authorization code for an alternate long-distance service.
The MERLIN system memory can hold up to forty such numbers, each of which
contains up to 16 digits (characters). Among the 16 characters, you can include
pause, stop, flash and Touch-Tone enable. Pause and stop are useful when acces-
sing computer-based services such as banking or alternate long-distance services.
Put flash in the sequence for Centrex/PBX features. Use Touch-Tone enable if you
have rotary service and want to switch from rotary signals to Touch-Tone signals.
To enter a number into the System Speed Dial list:
•
enter administration mode if you haven’t already done so (see page 17)
• dial a code from #60 through #99
•
dial * 90 plus the telephone number.
To enter pause, stop, flash or Touch-Tone enable into a System Speed Dial sequence:
PAUSE: Touch Hold (pause)
STOP: Touch Drop (stop)
FLASH: Touch Recall
Touch Hold (pause)
TOUCH-TONE ENABLE: Touch
Transfer
• If you’re finished with administration, leave administration mode by sliding the
T/P switch back to the center position at the administrator/attendant voice
terminal and by setting the Admin/Normal switch back to Normal at the control
unit. Otherwise continue administration procedures.
You can program System Speed Dial with or without Restriction Override. With
Restriction Override, a number can be used at any voice terminal if that terminal has
been restricted. if you want a particular System Speed Dial number to have Re-
striction Override, dial
✱
92 instead of
✱
90 in the above instructions.
You can change a System Speed Dial number at anytime. Simply repeat the above
procedure with a different telephone number.
Some users in your business may enjoy the convenience of one-touch access to
system Speed Dial numbers. if people in your business want to program a System
Speed Dial number on an Outside Auto Dial button, they should follow the regular
programming procedure for storing an Outside Auto Dial number.
While in program mode, they dial
✱ 95xx where xx represents one of the System
Speed Dial codes 60 through 99.
GROUP PAGING
Group Paging lets anyone at your business make an announcement over the voice
terminal speaker of up to three phones at once. A person receiving a Group Paging
message can lift the handset and speak back. If more than one person tries to speak
back at the same time, the MERLIN system will automatically select the first
person. This feature is distinct from Loudspeaker Paging, in which messages are
announced over an optional loudspeaker paging system.
