Loudspeaker Page
DESCRIPTION
When you have an optional loudspeaker paging system attached to the
control unit of the MERLIN II system, you can page people and make
announcements over the system from your console or voice terminal.
CONSIDERATIONS
ADMINISTRATION
The system administrator must identify the line jack to which the loudspeaker
paging system is connected. Then the administrator can assign that line to
attendant consoles and appropriate voice terminals.
There can be only one Loudspeaker Page system jack.
The system administrator can designate any line jack as the Loudspeaker
Paging System Jack except the line jack of:
A line that is contained in a line pool
A line to which the Music-on-Hold source is connected
The Loudspeaker Page feature can be especially helpful to the attendant.
If the person for whom a call is intended may be in one of several
locations, the attendant can park the call (see “Call Park”) and then use
Loudspeaker Page to announce the call. The person can then go to the
nearest voice terminal and use Call Pickup (see “Call Pickup” ) or Line
Pickup (see “Line Pickup”) to answer the call.
Only one person at a time can use the paging system.
People without Loudspeaker Page buttons can access the Loudspeaker
Page feature by using Line Pickup. (See “Line Pickup.”)
Enter administration mode and follow the appropriate procedure below to
identify the line jack to which the loudspeaker system is connected.
