Platform Requirements 61
To use PassageWay Direct Connection Solution on the system, you must have
the following components:
■ A Lucent Technologies-approved personal computer (PC) with a 286, 386,
or more powerful microprocessor and:
■ Microsoft Windows, version 3.1 or later
■ MLX-16DP, MLX-28D, MLX-20L, or MLX-10DP telephone connected to the
system
■ PassageWay Direct Connection Solution software
■ PassageWay Direct Connection Solution adapter
■ 9-pin to 25-pin adapter
■ 4-foot, 4-pair keyed modular phone cord (D8AC)
Additional MERLIN LEGEND Communications System requirements are:
■ MLX telephones must be wired with 3- or 4-pair extension wiring; otherwise
local telephone power is required.
■ If you use a console and DSS, local telephone power is required.
Idle Line Preference Your MLX telephone should have Idle Line Preference activated. With Idle
Line Preference activated, the system automatically selects a line for
outgoing calls when you go off hook.
The system manager should set Automatic Line Selection on your
telephone so that your Idle Line Preference is on an ICOM button (in Key
or Behind Switch mode) or an SA button (in Hybrid/PBX mode). Ensuring
that Automatic Line Selection is set to an ICOM or an SA button means
you can make both inside and outside calls via Lucent Technologies Call.
(You make outside calls on an ICOM or SA button by dialing
.)
