Support for T1 Digital Data Transmission 1
Release 4.0 expands its T1 functionality by providing access to digital data over
the public switched 56 kbps network in addition to data Tie-Trunk services. Users
who have T1 facilities for voice services can now use them for video calls at data
rates of 56 kbps per channel (112 kbps for video calls using two channels). The
Release 4.0 T1 offering also includes point-to-point connectivity over T1 Tie-
trunks, allowing customers to connect two MERLIN LEGEND Communications
Systems or a MERLIN LEGEND Communications System with a DEFINITY
Communications System. The two communications systems can be co-located or
off-premises.
Downloadable Firmware for 016 T/R Board and NI-BRI Board 1
The Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA)
technology introduced in Release 3.0 continues to support these two new boards
in Release 4.0 for installation and upgrade. A Release 3.0 or later processor is
required for PCMCIA technology.
User Features 1
Delayed Call Forwarding 1
Each user can program a Forwarding Delay setting for the Forward, Remote Call
Forwarding, or Follow Me features. The forwarding delay is the number of times
that a call rings at the forwarding extension before the call is sent to the receiver.
During the delay period, the user can screen calls by checking the displayed
calling number (if it is available). The delay can be set at 0 to 9 rings. The factory
setting for Forwarding Delay is 0 rings (no delay).
Voice Announce on the QCC 1
The QCC operator can enable the fifth Call Button to announce a call on another
user’s speakerphone if the destination telephone has a Voice Announce capable
SA button available. A QCC cannot receive Voice Announce calls; they are
received as ringing calls. The factory-set status for the fifth Call Button is to have
Voice Announce disabled.
Time-Based Option for Calling Group Overflow 1
Release 4.0 has added a
time limit
for calls in queue in addition to the previous
number limit. If the Overflow Threshold Time is set to a valid number between
1–900 seconds, calls that remain in the Calling Group Queue for the set time are
sent to the Overflow Receiver. If the Overflow Threshold Time is set to 0, Overflow
by time is turned off. The factory-set time limit is 0 seconds (Overflow by time off).
