PROGRAMMING
HOW TO USE
The backup person can also answer calls that come in after hours by
programming a Call Pickup button so that he or she can pick up calls
at the administrator/attendant console. Since the attendant console has
all the lines of your MERLIN Plus system, the person answering calls
after hours can pick up calls by touching the Call Pickup button when
the attendant console rings. (See "Call Pickup.") If the person is in
another part of the building, the attendant can connect his or her
console and an extra alert device to a Supplemental Alert Adapter (see
"Supplemental Alert Adapter" under "Accessory Equipment"), so that
each time a call comes in, an extra alert device sounds.
None
The system administrator must decide who will answer calls that come in after
hours and how those calls will be answered.
For programming procedures for Call Pickup, and for Ring Option Override,
see the individual entries for these features in this section.
For further information on the attendant console, see Section 4, "Using the
Attendant Console." If you need help in using the Call Pickup or the Ring
Option Override features, see "Call Pickup" or "Ring Option Override."
One-Touch Dialing
DESCRIPTION
In the MERLIN Plus system, there are five features that allow you to dial or
redial a telephone number with the touch of a button.
Outside Auto Dial-Dial an outside number by touching a button. An
Outside Auto Dial button can hold a maximum of 16 numbers.
Auto Intercom-Dial an intercom number with one touch whenever
you want to call someone connected to your MERLIN Plus system.
System Speed Dial-If your system administrator has assigned a speed
dial code to a frequently dialed telephone number or account number,
you can program the speed dial code onto an available voice terminal
button. Then when you want to dial the telephone number or enter
the account number on a call report, just touch the System Speed Dial
button for that number.
Last Number Redial—If you have programmed a Last Number button
for your voice terminal, you can touch the button when you want to
redial the most recent number that you dialed.
Saved Number Redial—If you have Saved Number buttons on your
voice terminal, you can save numbers for later redialing. When you
are ready to redial each of the telephone numbers, merely touch the
Saved Number button on which you have saved that number.
