Release 4.1 Enhancements
When Coverage Control is enabled and the MERLIN LEGEND Communications
System is put into Night Service, all programmed Coverage VMS Off buttons are
automatically turned off (LED is unlit) and all eligible outside calls are sent to the
assigned voice messaging system calling group with normal ringing delay. When
Night Service is deactivated during the day, all programmed Coverage VMS Off
buttons are automatically turned on (LED is lit) and voice mail coverage is
disabled for outside calls.
Users can override the Coverage VMS Off button status at any time by pressing
the programmed Coverage VMS Off button to turn the LED on or off.
Night Service Group Line Assignment
0
Beginning with Release 4.1, a system manager can assign lines to Night Service
groups to control handling of after-hours calls received on individual lines. This
capability replaces the automatic assignment to Night Service groups of only
those lines that ring on the Night Service operator console. To receive Night
Service treatment, an outside line must be assigned to a Night Service group.
With this enhancement, Night Service can be activated and deactivated on lines
that do not appear on operator consoles (for example, personal lines), and lines
appearing at operator positions can be excluded from Night Service.
Forward on Busy
0
Beginning with Release 4.1, the Forward, Follow Me, and Remote Call Forward
features are enhanced to remove the requirement that a call be ringing at an
extension before it can be forwarded. With the Forward on Busy enhancement, a
call to an extension with no available SA (System Access) or ICOM (Intercom)
buttons is forwarded immediately to the programmed destination, preventing the
caller from hearing a busy signal from the intended call recipient’s extension.
Maintenance Testing for BRI Facilities that Are
Part of Multiline Hunt Groups (MLHGs)
0
Beginning with Release 4.1, the NI-1 BRI (National Integrated Services Digital
Network-1 Basic Rate Interface) Provisioning Test Tool is enhanced to include
testing for BRI facilities that are part of Multiline Hunt Groups (MLHGs).
The NI-1 BRI Provisioning Test Tool is used by Lucent Technologies maintenance
personnel on MERLIN LEGEND Communications Systems that include a 800
NI-BRI module. Technicians use the tool during system installation and
maintenance to test the functionality of the BRI lines and to report analyzed
results.
