Release 7.0 Enhancements (April 1999)
Release 7.0 includes all Release 6.1 functionality, plus the
enhancements listed below.
■ MLS and Enhanced Tip/Ring (ETR) Telephone
Support
One of the most important new capabilities of MERLIN
LEGEND Release 7.0 is its support for MLS and ETR
telephones, allowing existing customers with either telephones
the ability to migrate to a MERLIN LEGEND Communications
System. The MLS telephones include the MLS-6
®
, MLS-12
®
,
MLS-12D
®
, MLS-18D
®
, and MLS-34D
®
. The ETR telephones
include the ETR-6, ETR-18, ETR-18D, and ETR-34D. The
Business Cordless 905 telephone and the TransTalk™ 9000
Digital Wireless System are also supported.
The MLS, ETR, and Business Cordless 905 telephones, as well
as the TransTalk 9000 Digital Wireless System, require ETR
station ports. To provide support for these telephones and for
the TransTalk 9000 system, two new modules have been
designed:
— 412 LS-ID-ETR Module. The 412 LS-ID-ETR module is not
available. To connect ETR and MLS telephones to a MERLIN
LEGEND Communications System, use the 016 ETR
module.
— 016 ETR Module. The 016 ETR module provides 16 ETR
station ports, including 6 with T/R functionality and 4 TTRs.
On the 016 ETR module, the first 10 ports are ETR ports
only—these ports do not have T/R functionality. The
remaining 6 ports (ports 11 through 16) can be programmed
to support either T/R or ETR, but not both simultaneously.
■ Expanded Digital Endpoint Connectivity
Release 7.0 increases the maximum number of digital
telephones supported from 127 to 200 by introducing a new 016
MLX module. In addition, each of the 200 ports can support an
MFM adjunct which increases the current 255 station endpoints
to 400.
— 016 MLX Module. Each 016 MLX module provides 16 digital
station ports and has an additional 32K of dual port RAM.
— Processor Module. The 016 MLX module can only be
utilized with the CKE4 or later processor module with
upgrade to R7.0 software. The CKE4 processor module
provides the lead to access the additional 32K of RAM on the
016 MLX module.
■ Voice Announce on Idle Only Option on MLX Telephones
Prior to Release 7.0, no options were available for disabling
intercom voice announcements at an MLX telephone when
busy. In Release 7.0, a new option—Voice Announce on IDLE
ONLY—is available with the existing Voice Announce feature.
This new option allows a user to receive intercom voice
announcements only when they are not active on another call.
