MERLIN MAIL
The number of incoming trunks and subscribers programmed for Automated
Attendant service and the number of busy-hour calls determine how many
MERLIN MAIL Voice Messaging System jacks are required for the user’s
system. See Table 8-2
.
Considerations
You cannot connect MERLIN MAIL Voice Messaging System to a system
operating in Behind Switch mode.
MERLIN MAIL Voice Messaging System is available in 2-port and 4-port
configurations. Both models have four hours of message-storage capacity.
You can use up to eight jacks on an 012 basic telephone module or up to 16
jacks on an 016 basic telephone module for MERLIN MAIL.
If you use all eight jacks on an 012 module for MERLIN MAIL, you cannot
connect any other devices to the module. When using fewer than eight jacks on
the 012 module, you can use the remaining jacks for tip/ring devices.
When a mailbox user receives voice mail messages, the Message LEDs on his
or her telephone are on, provided that a physical telephone has been assigned
to that mailbox.
Trunks to be answered by MERLIN MAIL should be programmed for reliable
far-end disconnect.
Callers who dial from rotary telephones cannot use MERLIN MAIL features.
