VOICE TERMINALS
Use the System Configuration Form to record information about the following:
● Dial Signals
● Long Distance Dialing
● Voice Terminals
● Outside Telephone Lines
The following information should help you make the appropriate entries for
your system on the System Configuration Form.
Touch-Tone telephone lines can carry both Touch-Tone and rotary (pulse) dial
signals. But rotary-only telephone lines cannot carry Touch-Tone dial signals.
If you don't know whether your outside telephone lines are Touch-Tone or
rotary-only, ask your local telephone company.
The MERLIN Plus system is set to generate Touch-Tones when you dial an
outside call. This means that if one or more of your outside telephone lines
can transmit only rotary (pulse) signals, you have to set the system for rotary
dialing during system administration. Otherwise you won't be able to dial out
over the rotary-only lines.
NOTE: If some of your outside lines are Touch-Tone and some rotary,
you may want to ask your local telephone company to replace the
rotary lines with Touch-Tone lines.
Under "Dial Signals" on the form . . .
Check the box next to "Touch-Tone" if all the outside telephone lines
connected to your system are Touch-Tone lines.
Check the box next to "Rotary (Pulse)" if one or more of the outside lines
connected to your system are rotary-only lines.
Under "Long Distance Dialing" . . .
Check the box next to "Toll-Prefix" if you have to dial a toll prefix
(1 or 0) before the area code when you dial the telephone number for a
long distance call.
Check the box next to "Area Code Only" if you do not have to dial a toll
prefix (1 or 0) before the area code when you dial the telephone number
for a long distance call.
Each MERLIN Plus system voice terminal (telephone) in your system will have
a two-digit intercom number. These intercom numbers allow easy dialing
between phones within the system.
The intercom numbers for a system with 10 or fewer voice terminals run from
10 to 19. For a system with more than 10 voice terminals, the intercom
numbers are 10 through 29.
