PF Registration
PF registration number AS5USA-65646-PF-E is assigned by the FCC for
operating the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System in Hybrid/PBX mode in
the United States. (The PF registration is also applicable to Release 1.0
systems.)
Release 2.0 Enhancements
Refer to Release 2.0 Notes for detailed descriptions of Release 2.0 and later
enhancements. Release 2.0 includes all Release 1.1 functionality plus the
enhancements listed below.
Programming
Programming enhancements include the following:
■
Extension Copy is a feature that reduces programming time by allowing
the use of any extension as a template for programming another
extension or block of extensions through centralized telephone
programming.
■
Integrated Administration provides a single interface through Integrated
Solution III (IS III) for programming entries common to the MERLIN
LEGEND Communications System and AUDIX Voice Power
ä
.
■
Any SPM Version 2.xx (where xx is replaced by numbers) provides a
Convert function for use in upgrading the system from Release 1.0 or 1.1.
This function converts a backup file from a Release 1.0 or 1.1 system to
Release 2.0 and later format, allowing reuse of existing system
programming on the upgraded system.
■
Forced idle reductions keep system interruptions at a minimum. In
general, the smallest necessary component is forced idle during
programming activities. For example, renumbering a single extension
idles only one extension. Only a few systemwide programming activities,
such as setting the system mode and system renumbering, idle the entire
system.
Operational
System operational enhancements include the following:
■
Coverage VMS Off is a feature that prevents incoming outside calls from
going to voice mail. (All other coverage remains active as programmed.)
The feature is programmed extension by extension, either through
extension programming or through centralized telephone programming.
