Accessory Equipment
Once you have set up your MERLIN Plus system, you may decide to purchase
additional hardware such as a headset that the system attendant can use for
easier call-handling or a basic telephone that is connected to the MERLIN
Plus system but which you can use off-premises. The information included in
"Accessory Equipment" will help you decide what optional equipment you
want to add to your system and how to use these accessories.
The information in the entry for each accessory is divided into five parts:
●
Description
The description of the accessory tells what it does and its advantages
for the user.
●
Drawings and Diagrams
Drawings of the accessory and its parts are included for each piece of
equipment, along with, if applicable, diagrams showing how the
equipment is connected to other MERLIN Plus system accessories.
●
Considerations
Special considerations include any qualifications the user should know
about the hardware, ways in which the equipment can or cannot be
used, or other hardware or features it can or cannot be used with.
●
Administration
If applicable, administration procedures are given for setting options at
the administrator/attendant console so that people in the MERLIN Plus
system can use the accessory equipment.
●
How to use
If applicable, procedures describe how to use the equipment or voice
terminal.
Basic Telephones
DESCRIPTION
Basic Touch-Tone telephones can provide service to people at a remote
location by way of an outside telephone line. These telephones are connected
to the MERLIN Plus system by way of an Off-Premises Telephone Interface
(OPTI) (see "Off-Premises Telephone Interface").
The telephones can use many of the features of your on-premises
communication system using dial codes and switchhook flashes.
