Direct-Line Console
Messaging
The Send/Remove Message feature is only for operators. It is used by a
DLC operator to turn on the Message LED to indicate a waiting message.
For telephones without a display, Send/Remove Message is the only way
the Message LED can be turned on and off by operators. The
Send/Remove Message button is factory-assigned to analog DLCs on
button 34. The Send/Remove Message button is replaced with line 32
when the system has more than 29 lines. Send/Remove Message can be
assigned to any available button on an analog or MLX DLC.
Multi-Function
Module
An MFM cannot be assigned as a DLC position.
Night Service
A Night Service button is assigned only to operators and is used to
activate and deactivate Night Service. It is factory-assigned to analog
DLCs on button 31. On a system with more than 29 lines, the Night
Service button is replaced with line 31. The Night Service button can be
assigned to any available button on an analog or MLX DLC.
Paging
A line/trunk jack programmed for Loudspeaker Paging can be assigned to
a button on an analog or MLX DLC for one-touch access. An MLX DLC
operator can also access a loudspeaker paging system by dialing the line
number (801–880) for the line/trunk jack of the loudspeaker system.
Park
Eight park zone codes (factory set extension numbers 881–888) are
automatically reserved for parking calls from a DLC. These numbers
cannot be assigned to the DSS buttons on a MERLIN II System Display
Console. To assign park zones to a DSS connected to an MLX DLC, the
numbers must be in the range programmed for the Page buttons. An
operator can program park zone codes on inside Auto Dial buttons. An
inside Auto Dial button can also be programmed with a user’s or
operator’s own extension number and can be used to park calls.
Personal Lines
The factory setting in all modes for analog DLCs automatically assigns
the first 32 lines connected to the system as personal lines. On MLX
DLCs, the first 18 lines are automatically assigned as personal lines.
Pickup
A DLC can be part of a pickup group, allowing other group members to
provide backup for the DLC. In turn, a DLC operator uses Pickup to
answer calls on lines that are not assigned to buttons on the console.
Pools
In Hybrid/PBX mode, a Pool button cannot be assigned to a DLC. A DLC
operator accesses a pool by dialing the pool dial-out code from an SA
button or, on an MLX DLC with a DSS, by pressing the DSS button
associated with the pool dial-out code. Lines/trunks assigned to pools can
be assigned as personal lines only on a DLC.
Reminder Service
DLC operators can use Reminder Set to set or cancel reminders directed
to other users. The operator can also see when a reminder has been
missed, because the user did not answer the call, and then cancel the
missed reminder. The Missed Reminder feature can be used only at
operator positions.
Remote Access
Invalid remote access calls can be programmed to ring on an SA or ICOM
button on a DLC.
