Terminology
In the context of this guide, we use the following terms:
■
Telephone system — refers to the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System,
Release 4.1 or later.
■
Multi-site configuration — refers to the configuration of a Model 5,000, Model 10,000,
or Model 20,000 MERLIN LEGEND Reporter that allows the site where it is installed
(the “Central Site”) to connect with and report on up to 25, 50 or 100 sources of call
records respectively (“polled” sites).
The term “multi-site configuration” also refers to the collection of all sites' databases
and their relationships to the Central Site. Thus, when we document in PART II -
Multi-site Configuration a “MERLIN LEGEND Reporter (or a PSU) at a Polled Site,”
we refer to a site where a Model 50 or Model 200 MERLIN LEGEND Reporter (or a
PSU) is installed and configured to send its SMDR call records to the Central Site
when requested by a Central Site poll.
■
Cost Center
is the default name for Level 2 of your organization. If you are using
MERLIN LEGEND Reporter for calling groups, you can change the name to Calling
Groups or any other name you coose. The default name Cost Center will be used
throughout this guide.
