The physical connection for the CTI link is an MLX port on a 008 MLX or 408 MLX
module on the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System control unit and an
ISDN link interface card plugged into the customer’s server. The feature is
available for Hybrid/PBX mode systems only.

The 008 MLX and 408 MLX modules must have firmware vintage other

module is prevented. An earlier or later vintage firmware is supported.

■ Answering calls arriving on an SA button
■ Making calls from an SA button
■ Hanging up calls
■ Hold and retrieving a call on hold at the user’s extension
NOTE:
Transfer and three-way conference, when handled through a CTI link
application, provide the original caller’s calling number information or
other information to the transfer receiver or new conference
participant, if the user has screen-pop capability.
