Connecting the Telephone Emulation Cables
Your CLASSIC MAIL system comes with two telephone emulation cables. These
cables are used to connect the CLASSIC MAIL system to your vacant voice terminal
jacks. These are the same type of cables used by Merlin telephones. Do not use any
other type.
To connect telephone emulation cables:
1
Plug the first cable into one of the vacant voice terminal jacks listed on the
Installation Data Form, Appendix A. Voice terminal jacks are the numbered jacks on
the Merlin Control Unit. See Figure 3F, or if you have a Merlin Plus Control Unit,
Figure 3G.
Note: Occasionally a voice terminal jack may be vacant because it is defective. Test vacant voice
terminal jacks by plugging a Merlin telephone into each jack and placing a call to another phone.

Plug the other end of this cable into the CLASSIC MAIL system’s telephone
emulation jack 1. See Figure 3F or 3G.
Plug the second telephone emulation cable into the other vacant voice terminal jack
listed on the Installation Data Form.
Plug the other end of this cable into the CLASSIC MAIL system’s telephone
emulation jack 2.
Note: If you are installing a four–port CLASSIC MAIL system, install two additional telephone emulation
cables between vacant Control Unit voice terminal jacks and the CLASSIC MAIL system’s telephone
emulation jacks 3 and 4.
