AT&T 999-507-144 Answering Machine User Manual


 
Introduction
You can begin making and receiving calls as soon as your MERLIN
®
Plus
Communications System is installed. But to take full advantage of the
system's power, you should customize it to fit your business needs.
Customizing the system is called administering the system throughout this
manual.
Administering the system involves entering information into the system's
memory about how you want the system to operate. You enter this
information by pressing buttons and dialing numbers on the telephone referred
to in this manual as the administrator/attendant console.
This section of the manual helps you decide what information you want to
enter into the system's memory and shows you how to record that information
on forms. A checklist of the forms appears below. You can find copies at the
end of this section. Remove them now, make a photocopy of each, and put
the originals back in this binder. Keep the copies at hand so you can fill
them out as you plan your system.
System Configuration Form
Line Assignments Form
Call Restrictions and Allowed Lists Directory
System Speed Dial Directory
NOTE: In this section of the manual, the information coming before
the boxes helps you make important decisions about your system.
Then the instructions in the boxes tell you where to enter these
decisions on the forms.
