MERLIN MAIL—ML System Programming
Specifying Port Allocation
Specify which service is assigned for external calls to the MERLIN MAIL—ML
ports. The MERLIN MAIL—ML ports may be assigned Automated Attendant
Service or Call Answer Service, or on a 4-port system, the MERLIN MAIL—ML
ports can be split between the two services.
■
The factory setting allocates all ports to Automated Attendant
Service. This makes the ports available for all services.
■
Guidelines for port allocation:
— If you do not want to use Automated Attendant Service but you
want direct Voice Mail Service access on external lines, set all
ports to Call Answer Service.
— For 4-port systems, a split allocation—that is, 2 ports Automated
Attendant Service (AA) and 2 ports Call Answer Service
(CA)—should be used only when you need to provide
Automated Attendant Service for calls on some lines and direct
Voice Mail access for calls on other lines. Special installation
steps are required when both services are used. Call your AT&T
representative or authorized dealer for more information on
using both services.
