Modular jack: Each voice terminal wiring run from the jack field terminates in a modular
jack at the voice terminal location. Every voice terminal has a separate modular jack.
Voice terminal (MERLIN system telephone): The voice terminal provides basic
telephone functions as well as access to the advanced feature software residing in the

MERLIN system voice terminals may be installed in a near-by building by using
Outdoor Wiring Protection Units. Contact your equipment supplier for more information.
Basic Touch-Tone and rotary telephones may also be used as off-premises telephones
