Installing a CTI Link
A brand-new, 4-pair cable must be installed. No reuse of wire is
supported. Proper Systimax hardware must be used, including cords
and connecting blocks.
Hardware Requirements
There are no new hardware requirements in Release 5.0 of the MERLIN
LEGEND Communications System.
The CTI link plugs into an available port on an 008 MLX or 408 MLX
module. However, the firmware vintage for the module must be other
than 29. An earlier or future vintage must be used for CTI link operation.
If the firmware vintage is 29, the link administration is prevented and the
System Programming screens tell you that the firmware 29 cannot be
used.
A summary of the installation procedure is provided below:
These steps should be followed in order. Step 2 cannot come before
Step 1, or System Programming will fail (procedure error beeps).
!Install MERLIN LEGEND hardware.
Choose a slot for an MLX port module (008 MLX or 408 MLX), and insert
the module. Identify a port on that MLX port module for the CTI link.
Unplug any telephone/adjunct from that port.
NOTE:
Make sure that the MLX board’s firmware vintage is NOT 29. Any
other vintage is acceptable, that is, earlier or future vintages after
29. If the port module has firmware vintage 29, the link
administration is prevented and the System Programming screens
tell the administrator that firmware 29 cannot be used.
Do not assign the CTI link to the first and fifth ports normally
reserved for the operator positions.
