Step 6: Changing the System
Your MERLIN Plus communications system is designed so that you can make
changes quickly and easily. You can increase your system’s capacity by
adding outside lines or voice terminals. Modular plugs on much of the
system wiring and labels on key components make it easy for you to
reorganize the system in the event of office rearrangement.
The most common system changes are adding an outside line, adding a voice
terminal, and moving a voice terminal.
ADDING AN OUTSIDE LINE Your MERLIN Plus system may have up to eight outside lines. If you have
fewer than eight outside lines, and your system becomes so busy that people
in your office frequently must wait to make calls, you may want to add one or
more outside lines.
To add lines to your system, do as follows:
1
2
3
4
Have your local telephone company add the outside line(s) and network
interface jack(s) to those you already have in place.
Install a D2R line cord between the network interface and the next
available CO line jack using the procedures in "Prepare the Network
Interface" and "Connect the Outside Lines to the Control Unit," in "Step
1: Installing the Control Unit."
Contact your equipment supplier to order an additional line module if
needed. Insert an additional line module according to the instructions in
"Step 1: Installing the Control Unit," under "Insert the Modules."
Administer the line to the voice terminals assigned to it using the
instructions in Section 3, "Administering the System," in the System
Manual.
Label a new line button on each voice terminal where the new line
appears.
ADDING A VOICE
TERMINAL You can easily add more voice terminals to your MERLIN Plus system as your
business and communications demands increase. Your system can
accommodate up to 20 voice terminals.
We recommend that you install wiring for future growth and flexibility during
the initial installation. To add a voice terminal to your MERLIN Plus system
when the wiring is present:
1
2
3
4
Connect the control unit to building wiring using a D8W cord. Instructions
for this procedure are in the section "Step 2: Wiring the Voice Terminals"
under "Voice Terminal Wiring Procedure."
Connect the voice terminal to the wall jack at the telephone location.
Administer the voice terminal using the procedures in Section 3,
"Administering the System," in the System Manual.
Program the voice terminal and label the buttons.
If you need an additional voice terminal module (station board), contact your
equipment supplier. Install the module as described in the section "Step 1:
Installing the Control Unit" under "Inserting a Voice Terminal Module."
