Moves and Changes
Your
MERLIN
system can expand as your company grows and as your communica-
tion needs increase. It is simple to increase its capacity, and since the system is
modular in design, you can add features and accessories. In addition, every com-
ponent in the
MERLIN
system is portable, so if your business moves, your
MERLIN
system can move with you.
MOVING YOUR SYSTEM
If your business moves, just take the
MERLIN
system
with you.
All the connecting
cords are snap-in, modular, and easy to install. You need to order new lines from your
local telephone company and, depending on your new floor plan, you may need to
order some new lengths of modular connecting cords from your
MERLIN
system
supplier.
If you relocate people within your business, they can keep the same voice terminals,
intercom numbers, and all programmed features. Simply move the voice terminals
to the new offices, then connect the voice terminal cords to the control unit.
To
keep
the same features, each voice terminal must keep the same intercom number. (For
more information on moving your system, refer to the Installation Guide: Models 206
and 410.)
INCREASING YOUR SYSTEM’S CAPACITY
There are several ways in which you can make additions to your system:
●
You can order another line from the telephone company; all you need from your
MERLIN system supplier is another modular line cord.
●
You can purchase additional voice terminals and appropriate-length extension
cords and plug them in yourself.
● If your business communications needs outgrow the capacity of your present
MERLIN
system, you can replace the control unit with a larger model. But, you
can keep and continue to use your voice terminals, feature cartridges (unless
you purchase a Model 1030 control unit), and accessories.
ADDING FEATURES AND ACCESSORIES TO YOUR SYSTEM
Although you need only the control unit and the individual voice terminals to setup
and use your system, you may also have optional equipment that adds features and
capabilities to your system. Note that optional features often require the purchase
of additional equipment.
By purchasing one or more of the following cartridges, you can increase the
usefulness and flexibility of your MERLIN system:
●
Another Feature Package (Type 1 cartridge) adds custom features to your system,
thus expanding the operation of each voice terminal.
●
An audio cartridge (Type II cartridge) enables you to add to your system such
features as Music-on-Hold, which provides music for clients whom you put on
hold, and Loudspeaker Page, which allows you to use a loudspeaker system.
● An added-services cartridge (Type ill cartridge) allows you to add Extra Alert
horns or bells so workers in noisy areas of the building are aware that the
telephone is ringing, and Power Failure Transfer telephones which continue ser-
vice in case of loss of electric power.
The chart on page 17 lists the optional features, any required equipment, and the
uses and benefits of each feature.
