SECURITY
l
ALERT:
!
Calling restrictions (for example, Disallowed Lists, Toll Restriction, Facility
Restriction Levels) should be programmed, as appropriate, to minimize toll
fraud, especially if a single-line telephone is connected to an integrated VMI
port. See
‘‘Calling Restrictions’’ on page 110
for additional information about
programming calling restrictions.
In Release 4.0 and later releases, whenever a switchhook flash is followed by
on-hook status on a single-line telephone, transfer return calls are blocked. This is
done in order to stop unwanted phantom calls from being made to single-line
telephones as a result of telephone handsets bouncing in their cradles. The
handset bouncing in the cradle is interpreted by the MERLIN LEGEND
Communications System as a switchhook flash attempt to transfer a call.

Behind Switch Mode

In Behind Switch mode, when the fixed Transfer button is pressed, the Transfer
feature of the host switch is used instead of the system’s Transfer feature.
However, to activate Transfer, the fixed Transfer button on an MLX or analog
multiline telephone must be programmed through system programming to send a
timed flash plus the code expected by the host. The fixed button has no effect
when pressed during an intercom call within the communications system; inside
transfers are made using trunk-to-trunk transfer on prime lines. If use of the
communications system’s Transfer feature is also desired (to lower traffic on
prime lines, for example), it must be programmed on an available line button on
each multiline telephone through either extension programming or centralized
telephone programming, and then can be used only when transferring within the
local system (this option is not available in Hybrid/PBX or Key mode). One-touch
Hold is the factory setting in Behind Switch mode. The selection of one-touch
Transfer is not blocked in system programming, but the setting is always
one-touch Hold regardless of the option chosen.
In Behind Switch Mode, the Transfer Return Time and Type of Transfer options
apply only to inside transfers (ICOM/SA calls made within the communications
system) in which the caller, the transfer originator, and the transfer destination are
all system extensions.

A QCC operator uses the Start and Release buttons or a DSS button to transfer
calls. However, pressing the Transfer button on a QCC is the same as pressing
the Start button.
