The MERLIN MAIL—ML system can be programmed from any
touch-tone phone.
You never need to wait for a greeting or a prompt to play before
dialing the next step. To save time in the instructions, you can dial
ahead (go to the next step) before a menu or system response
completes playing. You must, however, perform each step in the
instructions.
Entering [ * ] [ 7 ] at any point during system programming always
brings you back to the System Administration Main Menu.
Entering [ * ] [ * ] [ 9 ] exits the system. (You can also hang up.)
Use the handset to record messages, greetings, names, menus,
and announcements. The speakerphone is not recommended for
making recordings.
If you are using a speakerphone, turn off your speakerphone’s
microphone when programming the system.
When calling the MERLIN MAIL—ML system from your own MERLIN
LEGEND system extension, you do not have to enter your extension
number during Iogin. Simply enter [ #
] when the following prompt
plays:
“Please enter extension and [ # ] sign.”
Though you can set your mailbox for no password checking, to
maintain a more secure telephone system and reduce the
possibility of toll fraud, it is strongly recommended that neither the
system administrator nor other subscribers eliminate MERLIN
MAIL—ML passwords.
