Design Benefits
Modular components
allow easy, cost-effective growth in both
size and function. For upgrades from the MERLIN® system family
of products, all analog MERLIN system telephones, as well as
wiring, can be reused. For upgrades from MERLIN II, certain
line/trunk and station modules can also be reused.
Menu-driven system programming
maintains the customer’s
command of business operations.
Built-in 1200-bps modem
allows fast access to the system by
customers, AT&T personnel, or authorized dealers from a remote
location for system programming and maintenance.
Flexible mode of operation
saves upgrade costs by allowing
system configuration in one of three modes: Key, Behind Switch,
and Hybrid/PBX.
Connectivity to other systems
in the Behind Switch mode
optimizes existing resources by permitting the system to work as
part of another MERLIN LEGEND™ Communications System,
System 25, System 75, System 85, Definity® 75/85, or other
communications systems. Also, the system control unit can
connect to another system’s control unit by using an off-premises
telephone (OPT) line, an analog tie trunk, or a digital tie trunk.
Digital 2.048-MHz bus
supplies a 64-kbps channel on each of
the 216 time slots.
68000 Motorola CPU
running at 10 MHz with zero wait states
provides fast system performance.
Memory data retention
saves time by ensuring that system and
station programming information is retained for 12 to 30 days,
depending on the system configuration, in case of power failure or
system shutdown.
Integrated voice and data capabilities
allow users to converse
while transmitting data at speeds up to 64 kbps.
DS1 interface
can be configured for connection of either T1 or
ISDN for basic call control with the AT&T 4ESS PRI service
specifications.
ISDN S/T BRI protocol
supports premier digital multiline
telephones (MLX) with superior display capabilities and supports
the ISDN 7500B Data Module for the connection of adjuncts.
