Support for 2B Data Applications 0
A Lucent Technologies-certified group and desktop video application can use two
B-channels to make video/data calls when connected to a single MLX extension
jack programmed for 2B data. The 2B data devices must be equipped with
ISDN-BRI interfaces. NI-1 BRI, PRI, or T1 Switched 56 facilities support 2B data
communications at 112 kbps (using two 56-kbps channels) or 128 kbps (using two
64-kbps B-channels). This feature is available for Hybrid/PBX and Key modes
only.
Support for T1 Switched 56
Digital Data Transmission 0
For Hybrid/PBX and Key mode systems, Release 4.0 expands support of T1
functionality by providing access to digital data over the public switched 56-kbps
network, as well as to digital data tie-trunk services. Users who have T1 facilities
for voice services can now use them for video or data calls at rates of 56 kbps per
channel (112 kbps for video calls using 2B data). The Release 4.0 offering also
includes point-to-point connectivity over T1 tie trunks, allowing customers to
connect two MERLIN LEGEND Communications Systems or a MERLIN LEGEND
Communications System with a Lucent Technologies DEFINITY
®
G1.1
Communications System or DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server. The
two communications systems can be co-located or at different sites.
Forwarding Delay Option 0
Each user can program a Forwarding Delay setting for the Forward, Remote Call
Forwarding, or Follow Me features. The forwarding delay is the number of times
that a call rings at the forwarding extension before the call is sent to the receiver.
The delay period gives the original call recipient time to answer or to screen calls
by checking the displayed calling number (if available). The delay can be set at
0-9 rings. The factory setting for the forwarding delay is 0 rings (no delay).
Voice Announce on Queued Call Console 0
The system manager can enable the fifth Call button on a QCC console
(Hybrid/PBX mode only) to announce a call on another user’s speakerphone
(providing the destination telephone has a voice announce-capable SA button
available). A QCC cannot receive voice-announced calls; they are received as
ringing calls. The factory-set status for the fifth Call button is voice
announce-disabled.
