The MERLlN Plus system connects you to the ringing line.
DESCRIPTION
You can designate incoming calls to ring immediately at your voice terminal,
ring at a second voice terminal if they are not answered at the first one after
two rings (delayed ring), or not ring at all. When your system is installed,
the lines at each voice terminal ring immediately when a call comes in on
them. However, you can change this so that people in your office can answer
calls at their desk for someone who is away or you can program phones in
public places not to ring.
CONSIDERATIONS
The following tips are useful for deciding how and when voice terminals in
your MERLIN Plus system should ring.
Immediate Ring: People responsible for answering incoming calls, such as the
system attendant, should have the lines on their voice terminals programmed
for immediate ring.
You can also use this option for private lines that don’t
need to be screened or for people who answer their own calls.
Delayed Ring: You can provide backup coverage on a shared line by having
that line ring at a second voice terminal only after it has rung a few times
somewhere else. Then, when calls come in for a person who is away from
his or her desk, that person’s calls will ring at a second voice terminal, the
