Overview 1
Although the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System is technologically
sophisticated and offers state-of-the-art services, it is designed for ease of use
and management.
Once Lucent Technologies personnel install and program the system, it should
demand little of your time. If you need to make changes to the system as business
needs change, or if there is a problem with the system, you can use the system
reference books and get assistance from Lucent Technologies personnel, as
needed.
When you do need to perform simple system management tasks, several easy-to-
use tools are available to help you. For example, to program changes in the
system, you can use a specially designated system telephone that has a display,
or you can use a personal computer (PC).
Whether using a system telephone or a PC to program system changes, you
simply make selections from menus; you don’t have to remember any special
commands or codes.
If you need detailed information or step-by-step instructions, the system guides
clearly describe the choices.
Although the number of system reference guides may seem overwhelming at first,
this book contains clear instructions on how to use the guideshow to quickly find
a solution or needed information when a problem or new business need arises.
There are also several features to help you manage the system, for example,
reports that provide information about how the system is set up, a record of all
incoming and outgoing calls, and an error log that describes any system errors
that occur. These reports can be viewed on screen or printed out.
If you run into a problem at any time while you are using or managing the system,
experienced Lucent Technologies personnel can provide information and
instructions, including your local Lucent Technologies representative as well as
the Lucent Technologies national technical support organization at the Lucent
Technologies Helpline (1 800 628-2888; consultation charges may apply).
Using This Guide 1

manager.
To use this guide, you need little or no knowledge of the system and no special
technical expertise. Also, wherever possible, the guide provides quick reference
tables and illustrations, so that you don’t have to wade through dense text to find
the information you need.
