Adding Polled Sites
Purpose
To add new polled sites, as well as rename, delete, or modify information on any
installed sites. Multi-site configurations support 25, 50, or 100 sites, depending on
the model. One site, typically, the operation center, is designated as the “Central
Site.”
To add a site, you must complete the following requirements:
At the polled
sites

This involves setting up a call collector system (which may be another PC running
MERLIN LEGEND Reporter or a PSU) to pass call records to the Central Site.
Provide information for the Central Site:
—
Call Collection Information (the phone number to poll the local call collector (PSU or
PC), its login User ID and Password)
—
The Telephone Lines & Facilities information (may be provided by a listing)
—
The Organization Table listing (or provide Organization information via the File
Import/Export utility)
At the Central
Site
Provide a PC port and modem to poll the remote site (may share modem used to poll
other sites).
