CONSIDERATIONS
RLA operation requires the following:
l At least one programmed button with red and green lights
l An incoming line group
When you use an RLA button to activate RLA, the system will treat as
RLA calls only those calls that come in on lines specifically assigned to the
RLA incoming line group. At startup, none of the outside lines are
included in the RLA line group. There are simple administration
procedures for changing the makeup of the RLA line group.
NOTE: If the system is in both CFlDXD and RLA modes and the lines
overlap, CFlDXD takes precedence.
l Passwords
To gain access to one of the system’s outside lines during RLA operation,
a caller must enter a valid 5-digit password when prompted to do so by
the voice message. The administration procedure that follows is for
assigning passwords. The first two digits of a password must be an
intercom number in the system. The remaining three digits can be any
three digits. Once the caller has gained access to the system, the caller’s
identity is verified against the password, including the intercom number,
and any restrictions that apply to the caller’s voice terminal apply to the
current call.
l A synthesized voice message
For RLA operation, the voice message is a series of voice prompts
automatically supplied by the VSP in the control unit.
You cannot modify
or turn off the voice prompts for RLA.
l Either RLA or CFlDXD buttons must be activated
To call in from a remote location, the MERLIN Plus system must be set to
RLA or CFlDXD mode. Therefore, if you plan to use RLA during business
off hours (weekends, evenings) be sure either the RLA or CFlDXD button
is on before the office is closed.
ADMINISTRATION
An outward restricted user can only dial numbers that are present in an
allowed list.
If your responsibilities do not include system administration, skip this
information.
RLA Line Groups
At startup, none of the system’s outside lines are assigned to the RLA line
group. To use this feature, you will need to assign line group(s) as follows:
1 Enter administration mode by sliding the TIP switch to P and touching
Administer.
