Introduction

Use this Planning Guide and the planning forms to plan and configure the
MERLIN MAIL™ Voice Messaging System with the MERLIN LEGEND™
Communications System. Before you begin to plan the system, read through
this guide for information on what planning you must do.
When planning the voice messaging system, you must work closely with the
MERLIN LEGEND System Manager to coordinate the programming. (In many
companies, the System Administrator for the MERLIN MAIL system and the
System Manager for the MERLIN LEGEND system are the same person.) It is
essential that the two systems work together as an integrated unit.
MERLIN LEGEND planning is the initial step. The MERLIN LEGEND (PBX or
Key) System Planning Guide provides the planning forms for setting up the
MERLIN LEGEND system. You will need to obtain the MERLIN LEGEND
planning forms and make copies for your use in planning the integration with the
MERLIN MAIL system. Note that the MERLIN LEGEND system can work with
the MERLIN MAIL system in either the hybrid/PBX mode or the key mode. Make
sure you have the planning forms that match your system.
Chapter 1 of this Planning Guide describes the many features available with the
MERLIN MAIL Voice Messaging System. Keep in mind that your company’s
needs dictate how you plan to use this flexible system. Determine which
features you want to implement for your company and then move on to Chapter
2, which leads you through the process of filling out the MERLIN LEGEND
system planning forms needed to integrate the MERLIN MAIL system.
Once you determine the essential MERLIN LEGEND information, then complete
the MERLIN MAIL system planning forms found in Chapter 3.
You need to fill out the planning forms before AT&T personnel can install the
MERLIN MAIL system and program it to work with the MERLIN LEGEND system.
