There are two types of administration, as follows:
● In single renumbering, you assign a specific dial code to a station, line,
line pool, Call Distribution group, or Group Page group.
● In block renumbering, which applies only to groups of stations and lines,
you identify a “start” and an “end” station or line. You then assign a new
dial code to the first station or line and instruct the system to renumber
the other stations or lines in the group accordingly.
Administration steps for both types of renumbering appear below.
NOTE: You hear a beep if you enter a number that is invalid or that
conflicts with. another code in the dialing plan. If you have a printer,
you may want to get a printout of the dial plan to help you pinpoint
the problem. From the administration menu touch
[More], [More],
[Print],
[DialPlan] to get a printout.
Initializing (Changing Intercom Numbers to Make Space in the Dial Plan)
When the MERLIN II system is first set up, it assigns default dialing codes to
stations, lines, line pools, and Call Distribution and Group Page groups.
Because the default intercom numbers for the first 60 stations are 10 through
69, this leaves few numbers available for use as Flexible Numbering codes.
To make space available in the dial plan, you need to perform the Initialize
procedure,
This procedure renumbers the stations in the system so that they are all in the
7000 range by placing 70 or 7 before their default intercom numbers, e.g.,
7010 through 7069 and 7700 through 7727. This saves you time and makes
Flexible Numbering codes 1000 through 6999 available for use.
NOTE: If any lines, line pools, Call Distribution groups, and Group
Page groups in the system have Flexible Numbering codes, this
procedure reassigns their default dialing codes. Therefore, it is useful
as a first step if you are changing from one Flexible Numbering plan
to another.
Follow these steps to assign intercom numbers in the 7000 range to all
stations and assign default codes to lines, line pools, and groups:
