Introduction 1
The MERLIN MAGIX system has been developed for the medium-size
business market. Electronically, it is very similar to a MERLIN LEGEND
Communications System. However, new modules and new telephones have
been developed to work with the MERLIN MAGIX system.
The Control Unit 1
The control unit of the MERLIN MAGIX system consists of a basic carrier and,
optionally, one or two expansion carriers. The carriers contain the power
supplies, processor module, and line/trunk modules that comprise the system.
The Carriers 1
The basic and expansion carriers for the MERLIN MAGIX system are made of
metal. Like the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System, the MERLIN
MAGIX system can contain up to 17 line/trunk modules. The basic carrier
contains a power supply and a processor module and five slots for line/trunk
modules. Each expansion carrier contains a power supply and six slots for line/
trunk modules. A maximum of two expansion carriers can be connected to a
basic carrier.
