System Overview
The MERLIN® II Communications System is a
programmable digital telephone system with many
features to make voice and data easy to manage. It
supports up to 56 outside lines and 120 stations, depending
on the configuration. Voice terminals allow access to the
system for conversations, feature programming, or system
administering. By connecting an optional printer to the
system, the user can receive a detailed call report of each
station’s activity and a printout of all system
administration.
The MERLIN II System is designed to handle integrated
voice and data calls without reducing system capacity. It
can support various terminal types: analog voice
terminals, digital voice terminals, and digital data
terminals. It also supports the new 7102A single-he
voice terminal, Touch-Tone (2500) telephones, and rotary
(500) telephones.
Data and voice options are implemented by selecting the
appropriate station module. There are three types of
station modules: analog modules for analog voice
terminals, basic telephone modules for 7102A, 2500, or
500 sets, and digitaI modules for digital voice terminals
and data devices. Station modules, used with system
accessories, allow the user to select from the simplest
method of voice and data communication to complex
arrangements such as data calls between two digital
stations and modem pooling. Refer to Figure 1-1 for an
example of MERLIN II system configuration.
