Specifications

DESCRIPTION
Automatic System Access (ASA) includes four features that allow more
flexible use of your MERLIN Plus system and your outside lines.
The
features are described in this section under separate entries:
l Call Forwarding (CF)
l Direct Extension Dialing (DXD)
l System Answer (SA)
l Remote Line Access (RLA)
CONSIDERATIONS
CF and RLA only operate when the Central Office (CO) or PBX provides
Forward Disconnect on the serving lines. All lines in the system must be
assigned to the ASA port.
Refer to the individual features in this section for specific considerations for
each feature.
If your responsibilities do not include system administration, skip this
information.
