Programming the MERLIN LEGEND

System for CMS

Setting Up Lines,

Trunks, and Pools for CMS

For CMS to function properly, all CMS lines or trunks must be assigned only

to the CMS PC and the CMS supervisor telephone. In addition, you must pro-

gram CMS channels in T1 lines for ground-start emulation. ISDN Primary

Rate Interface (PRI) lines require no special programming for CMS. The fol-

lowing sections give instructions for completing these tasks.

Remove CMS Trunks, External Alerts,

and Loop-Backs from Pools (PBX Only)

For a MERLIN LEGEND system operating in hybrid/PBX mode, make sure

that no CMS trunks are in the default pools. When a system is first set up, all

loop-start lines default to the Main Pool (extension number 70) while all

ground-start lines default to the pool with extension number 890. The follow-

ing procedure removes all CMS loop-start and ground-start trunks, external

alerts, and loop-back trunks that have defaulted to these pools. Refer to the

“Trunk Type” column on Form 2c, System Numbering—Trunk Jacks to iden-

tify loop-start and ground-start trunks.
