Basic Telephone and Modem Interface 2 (BTMI-2).
The BTMI-2 is a replacement for the BTMI. It
connects telephones and data communications devices
such as autodialers, answering machines, cordless
telephones, facsimile machines, and modems to the
MERLIN II system. A timer may be connected to a
BTMI-2 for automatic answering based on time of day.
Unlike the BTMI, the BTMI-2 does not support
Conference, Drop, or line selection features. It can be
used with MERLIN II systems with Feature Module 1,
Feature Module 2, and Release 3.
Basic Telephones.
Basic Touch-Tone telephones,
connected to the MERLIN system with the Off-
Premises Telephone Interface (OPTI) and to outside
telephone lines, provide service to people at a remote
location. On-premises Basic Touch-Tone telephones
can be connected to the system with a Basic Telephone
and Modem Interface 2 or a Basic Telephone Module.
Frequency Generator.
If your basic carrier or
expansion carrier has a Basic Telephone (012)
Module, you must connect a Frequency Generator to
the Power Supply Module, located in the first slot of
each carrier containing Basic Telephone Modules.
The Frequency Generator converts 117-volt, 60-Hz
input power to 105-vol~ 30-Hz ringing voltage for
basic telephones connected to the Basic Telephone
Module.

connection of accessories such a modem with PCs or
data terminals, cordless telephones, and autodialers to
a MERLIN II system voice terminal. To use this
accessory, you must program Auto Answer AU. The
