Ringing/Idle Line Preference
DESCRIPTION
CONSIDERATIONS
If you have Reminder Set buttons, they show the status of the feature. The
light next to Reminder Set on your console is off, unless you set a reminder
for yourself. The lights next to Reminder Set buttons are on, however, at any
voice terminals for which you set reminder times.
Canceling Individual Reminders from Attendant Consoles
To cancel a reminder at a particular voice terminal, follow these steps:
1 Take the appropriate action:
Touch Reminder Cancel.
Touch Intercom-Ring or Intercom-Voice, lift your handset, and dial
*82.
2 Touch the Auto Intercom button for the voice terminal whose Reminder
Service you want to cancel.
NOTE: If the administrator sets a Cancel-All time, the system
automatically cancels all reminders each day at that time.
Receiving a Reminder
1 When your voice terminal rings, lift your handset.
You hear the Reminder Service Touch-Tones.
When the MERLIN II system is first set up, all voice terminals have the
Ringing/Idle Line Preference feature. When you lift your handset or touch
Speakerphone, the system automatically connects you to a line. And when
you receive an outside call, the system automatically connects you to the
ringing line when you lift your handset or touch Speakerphone.
If you prefer, you can disable this feature. If you do, you must touch a line
button to answer an incoming call and select a line for outgoing calls.
For related information, see also “Automatic Line Selection” and “Ringing
Options”
in this section.
If you receive many calls, the disable option prevents you from
accidentally disconnecting an incoming call by touching the button for a
different line.
If you want to place an outside call while one of the lines on your voice
terminal is ringing, touch the line button of the line you want to use.
When you lift the handset or touch Speakerphone, the MERLIN II system
connects you to the line you have selected.
